Bristol Wedding Band
Weddings are the best! Weddings are also one of Doctor Chocolate’s specialities! We are always asked to perform at weddings and we love them! Based in and around the South West, members of the band will travel all over the UK and arrive in good time to set up and sound check prior to any wedding.
From the moment you contact us we will be with you every step of the way. Doctor Chocolate can help you with your timings for the day so that we can fit in with your evening but also advise you on the length of time that we perform and the best times for the sets! Doctor Chocolate play for two x one hour sets and can work alongside any other entertainment that you have arranged.
We have our own stage and dance floor lighting and have the BEST sound equipment so that we always sound amazing! With our own sound engineer on hand we can also work within the constraints of the size of the venue too.
With over 25 years experience of performing at weddings – and we’ve done more than a few in that time! – we know how unique and special your event is! Evening entertainment is a big part of your wedding and we can certainly show your guests how to work that dance floor!
Check our our 100% LIVE videos on the website – these were all recorded at a charity event – there’s no studio trickery/miming here – watch and listen to the band – if you can’t come and see us performing live this is the next best thing!
Romance is in the Air
Heard of Jennifer Lawrence? Star of the Hunger Games, American Hustle and X-Men? Rumours are swirling that Jennifer Lawrence is now engaged to Nicholas Hoult who she met whilst filming X-Men!
Having teenage children, and having several members of the band go and watch American Hustle (note that not one single bra is worn in the whole of the film!), then we are all very aware of this young and rather beautiful Hollywood actress.
Christmas, New Year and Valentines Day are all close together and are considered to be the times of year when most marriage proposals are made!
Doctor Chocolate are currently receiving a high volume of enquiries from couples who have recently got engaged and are looking to book a fantastic, experienced and lively 9-piece wedding band.
Wedding Thank You
Doctor Chocolate love playing weddings! It is so rewarding to be part of such a special event. We are always really pleased to be asked to play at a wedding as it’s possibly the biggest event that could happen in a lifetime and it’s so important to get it right. Don’t take our word for it – here’s a testimonial from a very happy couple this year. For more testimonials on the band please visit our website.
Thank you so much for last night. It was amazing – and so many people commented on the fun an interactive nature of the set, thank you, thank you. A couple of people mentioned that they had tried to book you but you had been busy etc so we felt very lucky. Many thanks again, I was planning a low key day but you made it all the more amazing and many people stayed just to hear/see you!
I know Caroline has already replied but I want to reiterate what fun we had yesterday. Your band is fantastic and we all enjoyed ourselves muchly! Many thanks again, and please pass our thanks on to all the band.
Wedding Band
A fab picture of the bride and bridesmaids on stage with Doctor Chocolate at a wedding.
This was a woodland wedding followed by a party on a hill. A marquee was the site for the evening’s shenanigans and the village hall was used to prepare/serve food for the wedding reception as well as keep one of the bridesmaids under control and inside the room so she didn’t wander off! Don’t be alarmed though – the extra bridesmaid on this occasion was the family dog who was determined to be involved in absolutely everything!
If you have a wedding, celebration, fundraiser, prom, birthday, festival or anything that needs to be celebrated and you need a lively, fun and interactive live band then contact Doctor Chocolate!
Woodland Weddings
Doctor Chocolate have performed for weddings of all kinds – from the most formal down to the most relaxed. Woodland weddings are a popular choice for couples wanting a more relaxed, festival feel to their day and Doctor Chocolate love the laid-back feel to this type of wedding.
Although the weddings take place in a woodland setting the evening celebrations are often held elsewhere in venues of all kinds – from Tipis, Marquees, Village Halls, Outdoor Centres, Hotels and private homes. No matter what the location you can be assured that Doctor Chocolate have performed and set up in a similar situation somewhere else in the UK!
A wedding in the woodlands, with vintage-style dresses, suits and Wedding Wellies or Wedding Ugg boots are the order of the day – especially in the Autumn or Winter! Bridesmaids and ring-bearers are often the family pets invited along to join in with the day. Bunting, candles and tea lights in jam jars, fairy lights, rustic benches, vintage cloths all add to the festival and Olde English feel of the day.
Doctor Chocolate are a 9-piece band and are available to finish the day off and get all the guests dancing with our party sets. There’s something for everyone in the sets from the 1960’s right up to the 00’s! We can even offer a laid back swing style set earlier in the afternoon with a duo or 3 to 5 piece band playing easy listening standards during the drinks reception or meal if required. Just ask! Contact Doctor Chocolate for more information
Book a Wedding Band
Doctor Chocolate are the ultimate in wedding bands. The band has an excellent reputation in the South West as a reliable, fun, professional band and the majority of our bookings come from recommendations by previous clients!

It’s always a pleasure to be asked to be part of someone’s big day and we know that a lot of work has gone into each and every detail for weddings to make it a truly memorable occasion. The evening’s entertainment is an essential part of the day and is a time for the bridal couple and guests to really have a great time and dance the night away. Our sets are designed to keep everyone on the dance floor from the age of 2 up to 92! So if you are looking for a live band for your event then please get in contact for more information and a quote for the evening. Doctor Chocolate are a fantastic wedding band and will give your guests a night to remember!
Don’t take our word for it though – see our Facebook page to view pictures that our clients have sent through of their weddings, parties, celebrations, charity nights or visit our website for testimonials.
The picture is of a wedding “dance-off” between the ladies and the gentlemen! One of the guests thought Sarah’s hair could do with a bit of restyling – we think she looks like one of those dish-washing utensils! Needless to say the girls won the dance-off!
One Direction Shred
Doctor Chocolate are a fully live 9-piece wedding, party and function band based in the South West.
We always perform fully live – there are no backing tracks involved – what you see is what you get. We have 25 videos on our website that were recorded at a live charity event – this shows the band as we would perform for any event that we are booked for! Have a look at them here
However, we have recently been sent this link to see a “shred” of the very famous One Direction performing. This shred is so funny! This is actually not One Direction performing – it is the work of a very funny individual who has over-dubbed the lads in the band and this was the result.
Enjoy!
