Wedding Band Reliability
Doctor Chocolate are an awesome 9-piece live wedding, party and function band based in the South West Region of England.
We are one of THE most reliable bands on the circuit and, having performed at thousands of weddings and events all over the UK and abroad over the past 25 years, we are delighted to say that we have never once let a client down.
Sadly, we have received calls from couples, charities and events where the band they have booked have either; put their fees up at the last minute, cancelled the gig altogether or just not bothered to turn up on the night! This is disgraceful behaviour but it can happen with bands who haven’t been on the circuit for long, are inexperienced and/or are unreliable. Sometimes we’ve been available to step in and cover the event – hurrrahhhh – but if not, managed to find another band or DJ for the event so that they have some entertainment for guests attending. Whatever the problem we will always try to help.
In over 25 years we’ve ALWAYS arrived at a function on time and we’ve never let any event down. EVER!
- We’ve had the van break down on the motorway whilst on the way to London for a charity fundraising event, found another van to hire, unload and reload and STILL get to the venue on time.
- Been door-deep in snow with the van stuck in the middle of nowhere – but we found a tractor to tow the van to the venue and still managed to be at the venue and set up in time.
- Had our bass player lose his finger in a door whilst setting up AT the venue, and our talented Front Man picking up the bass and doubling up on the night.
So no matter what’s been thrown our way – Doctor Chocolate have ensured that our one and only priority; to make YOUR event the BEST event and ensure everyone has an amazing time – is always carried out!
So don’t take the chance with any other band! This may be the only time you have to book a live band and you want it to be the best night possible! Book Doctor Chocolate for your event and be guaranteed a full-on party that will have all your guests talking about your event for months after – and for all the right reasons!
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!
