"We used Better Band for our wedding and thought they were amazing to deal with through the whole planning process and on the day we had such a great performance.
Jan was really great to deal with for the set up to the wedding and made it so easy for us to plan the band.
We used Marika and David and they were so good on the day, with so many of the guests saying it was the highlight of the wedding. Such talented artists and made the event so special for us.
Highly, highly recommend"

"We used Better Band Co for our wedding in Northland and honestly, they were amazing to deal with through the whole planning process, even up until the week of our wedding. We had booked Artist duo - Lana & Tony to sing for our ceremony and also cocktail hour, and this was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning journey.
Lana is such a lovely person and super easy to get along with, which made me excited to hear her sing me down the aisle on our wedding day. Lana & Tony were great at reading the room during our cocktail hour and picked songs that engaged our guests, to the point that we had multiple family members approach us at the end of the night requesting for their contact details and to book them for future events."

"Better Band were fantastic to deal with for our wedding. The electronic forms were a seamless way to manage a lot of information, and made planning a wedding from another country very easy. Jan answered all of my many queries, and gave his professional opinion when I needed guidance - and he was right about everything! We used Sam and James and we honestly could not recommend them highly enough. Our guests are RAVING about them and we had the dancefloor of our dreams. Sam and James had never played at our venue before (Mudbrick on Waiheke) but you would never ever know. They were timely, set up efficiently and in perfect locations and worked with our other vendors like they had done so before. Both Sam and James interacted with our guests / the crowd so well and they played without a break - switching between the two of them to change things up every now and then. We have minimal guidance on the song choices, they just read the crowd
and sang what they thought would work best - they ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT. I have to confess we got slightly cold feet in the lead up to the wedding because Sam and James’ demo clips show that they are quite country focussed and we also weren’t sure whether it would be better to go with a DJ so people could dance to the original versions of the songs. HOWEVER thank god we didn’t change - those demos do not do them any justice at all. They sang a huge variety of songs, not just country, and their voices are incredible. They can do it all - they played during our ceremony while we signed the paperwork, after our ceremony during a cocktail hour and then for hours with a cranking dancefloor. They looked like they had lots of fun and wanted to be there, which made everyone feel really good. If you can’t tell already… do not hesitate to book these guys!! Thanks Jan, Sam and James for giving us the night of our lives!"
