We are so happy we found you!

Thank you so much to Halflight - our wedding band at Clevedon Hall. These guys showed up with such energy and enthusiasm it flowed onto the dancefloor. It's wonderful to see a band have fun whilst performing and the guests absolutely loved every single song they played, the dancefloor was packed all night and we didn't want it to end! Couldn't thank you guys enough - we are so happy we found you and thank you again for creating such a fantastic atmosphere at our wedding!

Best wedding band in the South West

I saw Halflight perform twice before they played at my first (!) wedding in 2015, and they were amazing. After a set of friends booked them for their wedding in 2019, I knew if I got married again, I would want them as my wedding band. My wish was granted and Halflight raised the roof again. Everyone loved their set and their energy. We all danced our socks off. Thank you to Sam and co, a cracking night of music and fun again! From a very happy repeat customer! :)

You guys really had some edge - it sounded great!

Laura and I would just like to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to you all. We had such a great night – you guys were awesome. The dance floor was packed from the moment you started right to the end. So many of our guests have been commenting on how good you were, and we really thought that contrary to most events bands you guys really had some edge and bought your own element to some classic songs, and they all sounded great. We couldn’t recommend you highly enough! You really made our evening!

You really had the whole room rocking

You really capped off a magnificent day off for us; you really had the whole room rocking from start to finish, which was just what we wanted. We had so many comments on how good you guys were on the night and have had many chats with various guests since the wedding recollecting on how excellent the band was. We are so glad we chose you to play at the wedding. Thank you once again you were truly marvelous.

I was so impressed and chuffed we booked you.

Thank you and the rest of Halflight so much for playing at our wedding on 9th July. We thought you were all brilliant. I was so impressed and chuffed we booked you. Thanks again for all your hard work – very much appreciated. Thought you did a sterling job with Sex on Fire too. Will definitely be recommending you.

It was perfect and could not have hoped for better

You guys were incredible at our wedding! Thank you so much for playing such an amazing show for our wedding – it was perfect and could not have hoped for better! I walked in thinking the ipod was still playing; only to find the lights up and it was you guys playing; great sound! We’ll be more than happy to recommend you in the future – it was a pleasure working with you guys. All the best in your future efforts!

Amazing energy on stage!

We wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for the brilliant music at our wedding! You were consummate professionals and had an amazing energy on the stage – as well as being great musicians of course – and kept the dance floor packed with happy bodies all night. We all had the best time! Nearly everyone I spoke to made a point of saying what a great band you were, and I was definitely torn between talking to people and just dancing the night away (actually leaning more to the latter…!).

It was much better than I had hoped or imagined!

Just a quick note from our honeymoon to say thank you so much for Saturday! It was absolutely amazing. We had so many comments about how great you guys were; the song choices, the quality of the music and the way you all interacted with everyone. We couldn’t fault you and I don’t think there was one moment where people weren’t dancing and singing along. It was so much better than I had hoped or imagined. Thank you so much again!!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Playing a big top festival style wedding at Glastonbury by the stone circle. The couple knew the Eavis family and managed to wrangle a wedding there in a fallow year.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Energetic fun rock pop funk!

What about your business are you most proud of?

3 of us have known each other since school. We've been in a band together for a LONG time! Still friends!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Regarding the evening party - try to avoid a noise limiter in the venue if possible, they're vibe killers. Also - think about timings of sets to make sure no-one gets bored when the band aren't playing.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

A singing bride or groom can be very emotional with the right song.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

We often have couples come and visit us in our rehearsal studio in Bristol so they can meet and hear the band. This is such a great way to evaluate and also means that we're not strangers on the day if you hire us. You can book online throughout our website, then we chat about the details of the day - we're pretty much the easiest thing to book for your wedding.

What makes a romantic first dance?

Song choice is everything. But also get some good dance moves down and pepper them in throughout your dance. It always gets a reaction.

What is your number one floor-filler?

All of them!

Which band from the past would you most like to have been part of?

Oh man. So many. Probably Pearl Jam!

What is the soundtrack to your life?

Probably the sound of children complaining.
