What they're saying

Soph & Mat were our live wedding entertainment in September and were absolutely fantastic! Not only did they include songs we had requested but they knew how to play perfectly for the crowd. Everyone loved them, from our 5 year old cousins and friends in their twenties to my 80 year old nan. The dance floor was never empty - I can testify that all dancers never stopped moving. We want to thank Soph & Mat for making our wedding reception, it was truly amazing and guests are still talking about them nearly 9 months on!!

THE best wedding band I have ever seen! And as a professional wedding photographer I have seen a lot! During the day the acoustic harmonies created a gorgeous and romantic back drop for our ceremony and wedding breakfast and then in the evening they had the whole place rocking! (don't know how they do it but the sound they create seems to come from a big band!) The Distance were absolutely perfect! The biggest compliment is when so many of our guests have raved about our amazing band!

The Distance played at our wedding at the end of July and were absolutely amazing! They went above and beyond of what we were expecting, absolute troopers playing for so long. They learnt our first dance live, and we also paid for them to record it for us - both versions were amazing, we couldn't have been happier, and now we have a perfect momento of our first dance! Soph and Mat are absolutely lovely too, there they were at midnight thanking us when it is us who cannot say thank you enough for making our wedding day so amazing!

The Distance played during our day at the beginning of August and were absolutely amazing. They played they're beautiful acoustic music during our ceremony and drinks reception and a full band looper set in the evening, it was exactly what we wanted for our day! From initial enquiry, Soph and Mat were brilliant, answering all our questions and responding quickly. The day was absolutely perfect and we have The Distance to thank as entertainment/music was a huge part of that. Our dance floor was never empty.

Hi All, if any of you out there are looking for a phenomenal live acoustic wedding band, get Soph and Mat booked. The Distance performed at our wedding in staffordshire last week at Pendrell Hall. Amazing!! Sound fantastic, great voices and do all sorts of crazy stuff with instruments, looping pedals and what not, super talented. Our guests absolutely loved them! Set lists were spot on too and played perfectly to our mix of guests, keeping the dance floor filled all night. Fabulous. Thanks so much again, Reena & Sam xx
