Stallions & The Bear 's Reviews

5 out of 5

We hired Stallions and the Bear for our wedding in November. I was quite apprehensive about choosing the music as it’s so difficult to choose a great band just going off a short video clip. However, we were so pleased with the band, everyone was up dancing all night and we had so many people tell us how fantastic they were! Highly recommend! Thank you!!

They were actually kept waiting for us which I do apologise for, they are absolutely amazing and I'm very fussy I literally spent weeks listening to bands over and over again and these stuck out to me and they are just as great in person as they are on video. Three very polite and outgoing men. Everybody loved their music and they played a great mixture songs. They made our wedding day a special one. Will definitely be booking them again for our anniversary if they're available.

Amazing! Turned up early before their set to set up. We had a short power cut due to thunderstorms and weren’t sure how long this would last, but they started practicing acoustic songs to continue!! We had so many positive comments from our guests about how good they were, and they got everyone up and dancing. Highly recommend

Me and Sophie just wanted to send a quick email to say how amazing the band were. They were lovely to chat with and their performances were beyond mine and Sophie’s expectations! We are so glad we booked them and even said next time we have some form of event we will definitely book them in again. Please could you pass this over to them. I hope they liked performing at our venue and the crowd/atmosphere made their time enjoyable too. Many Thanks, Phil & Sophie

The Stallions played at our 60th birthday party and were excellent - they judged the music really well, were excellent instrumentalists and singers and really nice people to deal with. They made adapted to a small area and I would highly recommend them and would book them again without hesitation
