Bride Jodie’s Review

5 star review – Punch the air performed at my wedding this Saturday just gone and I honestly could not recommend them highly enough. From the initial booking inquiry to the actual day the communication and smooth process was absolutely amazing. They turned up lovely and early and were set up ready to go at the time we had arranged. They were also exceptionally fast in responding to any questions I had leading up to the day I’m we’re exceptionally accommodating with any songs that we especially wanted to be played. On the day we and the guests absolutely loved them and they really brought the dance floor to life. They have an excellent repertoire and brought a really fun and engaging atmosphere. You honestly won’t regret booking them and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them for an event again and hopefully we’ll be able to attend an event where they are playing thanks again so much for making our day so special ! Jodie & Dean

Wedding Reception Time-Lapse

Check availability and price ASAP to avoid disappointment as we’re a very busy wedding function band on the scene.

Wedding Reception Time-Lapse video

Andy Starkey from Staffordshire indie rock wedding band ‘Punch The Air’ is crazy mad into videography. He loves to try out new ideas that no other live wedding entertainment band has thought of before. Sometimes he’ll be watching a TV show or film and think to himself “How did they achieve this effect?” and then attempt to recreate it when you hire an indie rock wedding band. The audio featured in this video is our wedding cover band studio recording (Its not live for a change) of ‘I Love Rock & Roll’ by Joan Jett. Don’t you think it looks completely different?

Andy is one of the hardest working wedding musicians in the industry. Most other bands just chill out before and in-between live wedding performances. Not Andy, he’s running around, setting up video cameras, more microphones and lighting. He has a massive array of cameras and lenses. Therefore his is able to capture the wedding reception band and guests in all it full glory. Rebecca & Matts Wedding Reception Time-Lapse video was recorded over two entire sets. It then took Andy a further 5 hours to edit the wedding video into what you see above. Make sure you watch it from start to finish to appreciate the hard effort in all its glory.

In non timelapse mode here is a full live video of what hiring a professional wedding band can do to your big day.

Wedding Entertainment

For some bizarre reason wedding entertainment seems to be one of the last things brides & grooms tend to think about. Sure, they have a lot to think about understandably. They book the venue, the ceremony and the photographer then what do most people do? They start to think about the fun, personalised small things (that if you think about it, don’t really matter in the grand scheme of things). Dress hangers with names on, flip-flops for the dance-floor, table decorations etc. But what they really should be doing in our options is looking at booking live wedding entertainment as the third, or even fourth big thing to sort out. Contact Andy Starkey to hire Punch The Air wedding entertainment.

What guests remember most about a wedding is as follows:

What you looked like.
Then what the venue was like.
What the food was like.
And what the wedding entertainment was like.

and not even in that order (apart from the first point) Believe us, we know this from previous experience speaking to clients at many hundreds of weddings.

Was everyone up dancing all night long really letting their hair down? Was everyone singing and shouting along to the bands amazing repertoire? Were the band a high energy wedding band able to engage with the audience and have them eating out of the palms of their hands? This is the exact type of wedding entertainment band that ‘Punch The Air‘ are.

Booking live wedding entertainment.

You may have had your eye on a specific band for a long time, but not got in touch with them yet. The problem is that although your date is one specific day to you, it’s a date that many other brides and grooms will also want to book your wedding entertainment band for. Your wedding band can only perform at one wedding each day, so they may already be booked out at another wedding clients reception party….Argh nightmare scenario!!!!

Advice on hiring a wedding band

So our advice (Coming from having been an established wedding band since 2013). Is to start to look to book wedding entertainment as soon as you can. If you really-REALLY like a wedding reception band then check if they are available on your date before you even book your ceremony and venue. You could work along side your party band while working out your potential dates to make sure they are 100% available to you. Otherwise definitely check to book a wedding function band as soon as you’ve confirmed your wedding date and venue. Otherwise you may find yourself unhappy at having to choose the band who weren’t your first (Or possibly even second) option.

It’s so very easy to book ‘Punch The Air‘ professional wedding entertainment. A quality band with a lot of history in entertaining wedding guests since 2013. ‘Punch The Air‘ are available to hire as your wedding entertainment throughout the whole of the UK and beyond. Trust in a band that provide you with professionally shot live videos capturing bride, grooms and guests open and honest reactions to their high energy performances. Contact to book right now.
