We got married on Saturday 7th January and wow where to even begin!

Northern state had our guests up on the dance floor from the start of the first song to the end of the very last song.

We had the most amazing night thanks to you!

The cost was reasonable, the band were set up on time and arrived on time. Perfect genre of music as they played timeless classics!

So friendly and I would love to see you perform again very soon!

I would rate this band ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars and we are so grateful.

Thank you for making our wedding day so amazing!

Brilliant band. The music is spot on and the band members are a bunch of great lads.

They played at our wedding and they went down a storm wouldn’t of wanted any other band to play.

Would highly recommend them you won’t be disappointed.

Saw this band for the first time 2 weeks ago at a local live music bar. They were awesome!

Talented, great catalogue of songs in their repertoire, full of energy and swagger – they had the whole audience on their feet, singing and dancing along.

Met them after the gig, really friendly and down to earth. If they’re ever playing in your area, go see them if you have the chance.

Guaranteed to put on a top show!

Yewstock asked Northern State to headline their main stage on their Saturday night and these guys more than delivered.

Banging tunes delivered perfectly and great banter between tracks. Had the place bouncing.

Thanks so much guys, we’d love to have you back.

We had a great party, and as always, it is the music that sets the stage. I would highly recommend Ace for the connection to Chris and his band members. All that attended loved the change from the typical.
