“Freshman Year were fantastic! Music is a huge part of our relationship so choosing the right band was really important to us but Freshman Year blew our expectations out of the water! From the start, communication with their management was great, their set up was swift and professional, we were heading out for sunset photos as they were about to start and they checked in with us, and made sure we didn't miss any of the favourites on the set-list, they were polished and very good musically, and their set-list was expertly created, finishing on one of our favourites and one that we knew would be a crowd-pleaser, they adapted to the crowd too, noticing a few people liked heavy music and were starting to mosh a bit and they kept that going with the next couple of songs! They made key moments so special such as going along with our wild idea to cut the cake to the start of Papa Roach, Last Resort (cut my cake into pieces), and even changing the lyrics to Stacey's Mom so that my mum have the opportunity to be worshipped in the way she truly deserved! And to go from our first dance and a dance with everyone straight into Everlong was just perfection. A big fear of mine was an empty dance floor floor as we didn't want all the usual wedding music and we were worried that people would be disappointed at our taste of music, but I don't think we had an empty dance floor all night! My bridesmaid also cursed them out for making her hold onto her wee for so long because the set-list was just banger after banger and she didn't want to leave! Honestly cannot recommend these guys enough, they were amazing!”
Carrie & Charles - Wedding, Moonacre, Wimborne, Dorset
“The band were absolutely fantastic. Punctual, easy setup and so polite! Everyone was raving about how good they sounded. Played our first dance song exactly the way we asked for it, and put a great set list together of all our favourites. Great communication - would recommend! ”
James & Kitty - Wedding, Upwaltham Barns, West Sussex
“100% recommended, they made the whole evening feel relaxed and kept us and our guests on the dance floor all night!”
Adèle & Daniel - Wedding, The Matara Centre, Tetbury, Gloucestershire
“We both really want to let you know how much we loved having Freshman Year at our wedding. They absolutely nailed it. From a brilliant set-list that accounted for our favourite songs and learning our first dance to being polite and professional throughout, we would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a brilliant band. Freshman Year created one of the most iconic moments of our wedding by playing the Fountains of Wayne classic as 'Kelly's Mom' in ode to the mother of the bride - the whole wedding party were up and dancing and we are still talking about it now! We've all been to weddings where the entertainment just doesn't quite work and the guests don't get involved, but everyone we've seen in the weeks since have made a point of saying how much they loved the band. Thank you so much for totally bringing the party, we had the best time thanks to Freshman Year!”
Joe & Kelly - Wedding, The White Barn, Somerset
“Absolutely amazing! The band has been super and extremely energetic! They were exactly what we were looking for, and everybody had a great time. Thanks again to Freshman Year, we loved them!”
Tommaso - Wedding, Kimbridge Barn, Hampshire
“The best wedding band! Just amazing! We are so grateful that we found Freshman Year to play our wedding day. Everything from the set list, to the performance, to the crowd interaction was perfect and ensured that the dance floor was rocking all night long. So much so that we missed our evening food! The band themselves were punctual and personable, chatting with us before they played and taking any requests that we had. We'd also highly recommend the manned DJ service as it allowed us to continue dancing to our favourite songs without the annoyance of a typical wedding DJ.”
Stephen & Terri - Wedding, Wilde Lodge, Knighton, Powys, Wales
“Freshman Year were absolutely brilliant. They went above and beyond in everything they did for us. No request was too much. Our first dance was brilliant, with the pop punk version of Just Like Heaven by The Cure being the icing on the cake as we fully appreciate that it was a more awkward song choice with the band having no synths! We also don't think my sister in law will ever live down the bands version of Stacey's Mom, which is now officially Elsie's Mom in this household. Thank you so much for everything!”
Scarlett & Alex - Wedding, The Hidden Hive, Swadlincote, Derbyshire
“The band were awesome on the day. Lots of compliments from our guests. They really helped making our wedding the party we wanted it to be. Really great that they did the DJ sets in-between as well.”
Matthew & Sian - Wedding, Cantley House Hotel, Berkshire
“I just wanted to send an email to say thank you to you and the band for an incredible evening reception at our wedding a couple of weeks ago. The band were incredible, we had the best time. They were engaging, involved the audience, read the room and played extra songs we hadn't originally included but absolutely loved and appreciated. We have had so many guests tell us how much they loved the band and have even had some say it was the best wedding they've been to thanks to the band! I was so happy to see so many people dancing including people I didn't think were dancers. They were great sports in allowing Tom to sing Chop Suey with them which he loved and I personally loved Stacey's (Elke's) Mom. Please could you pass this onto the band, we had such a great evening reception and we will 100% recommend them to anyone we can. Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding reception so special and such a memorable evening.”
Tom & Elke - Wedding, The Farmhouse at Redcoats, Hertfordshire
“Just to say the band were epic, everyone was dancing all night. Learning our First Dance song was super cute! So many compliments off everyone about them! They defo know how to follow the vibe of the guests. Thanks again. Send my love and thanks :D”
Megan & Lewis - Wedding, The Shack Revolution, Hereford
“Freshman Year provided an amazing soundtrack to our wedding and everyone present had an absolutely fantastic time rocking out to their show. The guys sounded brilliant and played with real energy that got every one up on their feet. I would also like to say a huge thanks to the band for letting me play a song with them, it made the whole experience even more memorable for us and our guests. Thanks again, we loved every minute of it!”
