Can I see the Band before I book?
Doctor Chocolate have had a very busy summer bursting with some amazing weddings, parties, celebrations, proms, officers mess events and festivals! Visit our Main Website here!
Doctor Chocolate receive requests from clients who are asking about booking the band for their wedding, party or corporate event as booking a band for such an important occasion can be a minefield. There are lots of bands on the circuit and not all of them are great! As we are always out working some fantastic private events it means we don’t have the chance to play for many open events where people can just pop along and see/hear the band.
If you are booking a band for your event you should really go and see them live first – to get a feel of whether they suit your event and theme. You need to be sure they are experienced, reliable, professional, adaptable and most of all – they know how to interact with the guests you have attending for your event! Thankfully Doctor Chocolate are all these things!
Websites can look great! Recordings can sound amazing! But you need to know that the band you are booking are just as good live. Doctor Chocolate have uploaded 22 videos to our website – they were not recorded in a studio, they were not filmed under studio conditions! Any band can walk into a studio and record their performance. They often sound great as the sound engineer who works in the studio can work miracles! Hear them live – that’s a different story altogether!
Doctor Chocolate’s videos on our website were recorded whilst we were playing for 200 people at a charity event in November 2013. If you look you’ll see some guests on the dance floor busting out some moves! The videos and recording are 100% live – we don’t need to go into a studio to look or sound good – we ARE good! See for yourself by watching our videos on the website!
As Doctor Chocolate are out most weekends performing for weddings, celebrations, parties, corporate events and everything inbetween, we don’t get the opportunity to play at open events very often. When we do we publish the information on our Facebook page – join us on Facebook and find out all the latest news and information first! Check out the events page on Facebook and come along to see the band – we do about 4-5 open events a year. Sadly it’s not possible to come along to a wedding to see us – but at least you’ll be assured we won’t bring anyone along to your private event!
Live Band for any event
Military functions, school proms, parties, celebrations, balls, functions, charity events.
If you are planning a party you need an awesome party band!
Doctor Chocolate are a 9-piece live band who are experienced, professional, reliable and most of all fun! We know how to party! We also know how to get your guests to party and we can fill that dance-floor all night long!
We have two fantastic sets bursting with hit songs from the 1960’s to present day chart hits. There’s something for everyone in our sets and we work really hard to keep them up to date, fresh and lively! Doctor Chocolate are the ultimate wedding, party and function band and the majority of our work comes through recommendation from people who have seen/heard us before.
If you are planning a celebration or party of any kind then you need a band that know how to work your crowd to get the best out of them. You need an assured, confident, professional and interactive band. So look no further! Doctor Chocolate have been on the scene for over 25 years and have an excellent reputation.
We have a confident and enthusiastic front man so you can be assured that your guests will be involved from the moment we start to play and a sassy female vocalist that can belt out any tune! Our brass section is made up from some of the best players in the Bristol/South West area so we can choose those big, brassy, full-on numbers that other smaller bands, or those playing along to backing tracks, can’t do so well. Our musicians are also wire free so they can certainly bust a few moves on stage!
We’ve played for charity fundraisers where you need the crowd to really get into the evening and have a great night. If your guests have a fantastic night then that means they will remember the event, the charity and be more prepared to come along again and donate in the future! Don’t leave the entertainment to chance! Book a fully-confident and professional band to really work that crowd.
We’ve played for military events all over the UK – these events normally continue until the early hours of the next morning and Doctor Chocolate can certainly keep up and have stayed up until 4/5am and joined in with the bacon butties before driving home! We’ve kept the dance-floor jammed packed!

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

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!
