Taylormade Live Band For Wedding - Gemma and Mark Kaluza, Dodmoor House, Northamptonshire


On 12th June The Taylormade Live Band For Weddings performed at possibly their most local Wedding ever!

Being only 6.2 miles away from our new home, we just about managed the drive to the beautiful Dodmoor House for our second visit here this year.

Gemma and Mark booked us after seeing us performing live at the MK Wedding Show last October, and we had a brilliant time performing for them and their guests on their Big Day.

We learnt 'I Will Always Love You' By Whitney Houston for their First Dance song and performed this as the Acoustic Duo as they came down from the balcony and onto the dance floor! They had a choreographed routine but they had both confided in us earlier in the day that they were very nervous! Well Gemma and Mark you did a beautiful job and it was such a pleasure to perform for you as you took to the floor for the first time as Husband and Wife!

The Live Band then kicked off the evening and we finished with our DJ until midnight.

We would like to wish Gemma and Mark all the best for their Wedding and thank you for choosing us to be a part of your special day!

Hope you had a brilliant Honeymoon!

Taylormade Live Band For Weddings - Jo and Tim Merry, The Bush Hotel, Farnham, June 2010


After a well earned rest and more importantly taking a month off to get married and go on our Honeymoon, Matt and I from The Taylormade Live Band were back on the road!

On 5th June we travelled to Farnham in Surrey to perform at Jo and Tim Merry's Wedding at The Bush Hotel in Farnham. This lovely venue was an oasis in the middle of Farnham and it was a beautifully sunny day.

We performed an acoustic duo set in the gardens whilst Jo and Tim had their photographs taken in the sunshine. We used our brilliant little battery powered amp as there was no power available outside, and watched smiling as the Wedding party sipped Pimms and Lemonade!

For the evening reception The Taylormade Live Band performed 2 sets and the dancefloor was packed all night!

We would like to say a huge congratulations to Mr and Mrs Merry and wish them all the best for the future!

I'll keep you posted!

Take care

Taylormade Acoustic Duo have their own Wedding!


I'm really delighted to let you all know that on 14th May 2010, Matt and I from Taylormade tied the knot in the most amazing location in Cuba in the Caribbean.

All of our closest friends and family were there to celebrate with us and we had an absolutely incredible time!

We had an Acoustic Trio who were just brilliant and it made the day so much more personal. It;s made me realise what a personal touch we bring to the Brides we perform for. It's was really great to see things from the other side!

We then sent them packing back to the UK and Matt and I enjoyed an incredible Honeymoon in one of the most breathtaking places I have EVER been to.

If you're undecided on a Honeymoon destination, give Cuba a thought! It's unbelievable value for money and packed with history, culture, passion and soul! Matt and I fell in love with Cuba and cannot recommend it enough!

I keep getting asked for tips by the Brides who have booked us and if there is one piece of advice I can give it would be:

JUST ENJOY IT!

It doesn't matter if it rains, if your hair isn't perfect, if the venue are running late - you get the idea! None of this matters, all that matters is you are surrounded by the people who love you most and you are about to become Husband and Wife! Sounds obvious I know but from experience it's the advice I wish I had be given before hand! Just take every single moment in, relax, and as above - ENJOY IT!

That's enough from me otherwise my Husband will tell me to stop being soppy! ;-)

If you want any more tips - just ask!

Take Care

Taylormade Live Band For Weddings - Kirsty and Sotirios, The Crooked Barn, Lowestoft April 2010

On 17th April 2010 we had the pleasure of performing at the Wedding of Kirsty and Sotirios at the beautiful Crooked Barn in Lowestoft, Suffolk. This was our second trip to this lovely venue and the sun shined on us all day long!

We started the day with myself and Matt performing 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' and 'Songbird' By Eva Cassidy as the guests were taking their seats and awaiting the arrival of the Bride. We then performed 'The Rose' By Amanda McBroom as Kirsty walked up the aisle with her Dad and it was a beautifully touching moment.

After the Ceremony we moved into the courtyard and performed a few more acoustic songs whilst the photographer took some pictures in the lovely April sunshine, some of which can be found on our Taylormade Acoustic Duo website.

The Taylormade Live Band got the evening off to a brilliant start as we performed Kirsty and Sotirios's First Dance to 'Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You' By Andy Williams. Then everyone hit the dance floor with favourites like 'Sex On Fire' and 'Sunny Afternoon'! We then finished the evening with our brilliant DJ service and it seems everyone had a really great time!

We would like to thank Kirsty and Sotirios for choosing us to perform for them on their special day and wish them all the best for their future together!

I'll keep you updated on all things Taylormade!

Take Care
