Our Shropshire Couples' Lovely Feedback

Hear kind words from our past clients

The Pedal Tones played our wedding in August 2023 and were brilliant. They learnt our first dance song and played it in the particular style that we requested. We overheard them saying how busy they had been that weekend (no surprise they are popular!) but this didn’t show in their performance at all, their energy and talent was at 100% all night. They really gave the night the energy and atmosphere we wanted and the dance floor was full all night.

The Pedal Tones performed at our wedding on 25th March 2023. We had the acoustic duo for our drinks reception and the the 3 piece band in the evening. Can’t thank them enough, they really set the tone to the whole day and the band in the evening did an amazing job of getting the party going and getting everyone dancing. We had a lot of compliments on the band and have even had guests asking for their details as they want to book them for their own future events! Thank you Pedal Tones! Definitely recommend!

Customer testimonials

The band made our wedding unforgettable!

"The friendiest band ever! Smooth process from start to the finish in terms of booking, follow up & actually evening. Professional in terms of how they request information & track conversations/requests etc. And the quality of gig set! Outstanding! HIGHLY RECOMMEND"

"I booked The Pedal Tones after seeing them at a friend’s wedding where everyone was up and dancing the minute they came on until they played the last song. I wanted the same energy and packed dance floor at my own wedding and they did not disappoint. Everyone commented at how good the band were and we had a packed dance floor all night! My point of contact from the band was Tom and he was great throughout the whole process. I was quite particular about the songs I wanted between the sets so he asked me to send him a playlist before hand and they played all the songs I wanted. We had a brilliant night and didn’t get off the dance floor until 1am so I can’t thank the band enough for this!"

The Pedal Tones brought nothing but joy and professionalism to our wedding. From the very first meeting with Tom to discuss our music tastes to the last song of the night these lads were everything we could have asked for. We could go on but all you really need to know is don't hesitate booking this band. Thanks again lads.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for an amazing night & an incredible performance- our guests danced from the first song at 7pm right through to the end of the evening! The dance floor was never empty & the tunes were just perfect! High quality vocals, amazing performances by each band member and a vibe that screamed party! So many people asked how we had found you - and commented on how brilliant you were. I think the DJ got a bit jealous 😂 Professional & perfect in every way - value for money and hugely memorable. Thank you so much! 💙

One word: brilliant! We loved having the Pedal Tones play at our wedding. From the start, they were in regular communication. We had a Teams meeting before the wedding where Tom asked us about timings, what kind of music we loved and how quickly to get everyone on the dancefloor after our first dance! All the band are really nice guys and they took the time to introduce themselves on the day.We had loads of compliments from our guests about the band, and they brought the energy to keep the dancefloor going until the end. The song choices were brilliant too! We would definitely recommend Pedal Tones.
