A Surrey band to amp up your wedding reception
When it comes to planning a wedding, the ‘to-do’ list can feel like its never going to end. From venues and flowers to dresses and seating plans, choosing a reliable favourite can be a frustrating process.
Well, fortunately, after literally hundreds of performances at weddings in Surrey and beyond, Rockit are the ready-made fit for your evening entertainment.
From getting Granny on the dancefloor with her 50s favourites to inviting friends and family to sing along to timeless 90s classics, Rockit can offer it all.
Young, fresh and with their finger on the pulse for what gets an audience on their feet, Rockit have as broad ranging a repertoire as any band you’ll find in the UK. Whether you and your guests all have a shared love of 80s anthems, have an un-ironic appreciation of cheesy pop tunes or want to swing through the 60s all the way to the latest indie bangers, Rockit are seasoned in catering to all tastes and requests.
Rockit have worked with countless couples and venues to coordinate bespoke experiences across in Surrey, London and further afield. Every bride and groom have individual ideas for how the timings will work on their wedding day and the tone of the music that they would like at different points of the celebration. With an acoustic duo available to book for drinks receptions and a DJ service also on offer to carry the party into the night, Rockit are able to provide music in a range of styles for any stage of the day.
Even if the venue you are hoping to celebrate your wedding at has a sound limiter or noise restrictions, Rockit are also able to offer an electric drum kit to keep the party going within the limits in place.
From live sets for couples and their guests at Cribbs Barn, Cooling Castle, Coombe Lodge, Gosfield Hall, Lingfield Park, Orchardleigh Park and Chenies Manor, Rockit are one of the most experienced acts in the area – and may well be familiar with the quirks and perks of your chosen venue already!
As well as being one of the most in-demand wedding bands in Surrey, Rockit’s individual members also boast unrivalled industry experience having performed alongside artists and acts such as Beverley Knight, Pete Doherty, Paul Weller, Blur and Europe’s most popular Bon Jovi tribute band, The Bon Jovi Experience.
However you want your wedding day to look, you can rest easy that, with Rockit, it will sound exactly how imagine. With the band being as busy as they are, make sure you get in touch today to confirm their availability for your special day!
