HOW WE DO WEDDINGS

We under­stand that with so many options avail­able, choos­ing the right live enter­tain­ment for your wed­ding can be a lit­tle daunt­ing. After all, there are so many options to choose from. But don’t wor­ry, we’re here to help. 

At Gecko Live, you’ll find that no request is too big — or too small! We’ll work with you to under­stand your vision and rec­om­mend the best live music for your wed­ding. This means under­stand­ing you both as a cou­ple and what you love, as well as your venue style and guests. There are no hid­den costs; this is all part of the excel­lent ser­vice and care we give each of our couples.

CHOOS­ING THE BEST WED­DING ENTER­TAIN­MENT AND LIVE BAND

We make rec­om­men­da­tions of acts based on what we think you’ll love. We can help you find live musi­cians for just your wed­ding cer­e­mo­ny or cre­ate an all-singing and all-danc­ing enter­tain­ment pack­age that cre­ates the entire sound­track for your wed­ding celebration.

This could be a live acoustic act for the wed­ding cer­e­mo­ny, a magi­cian to mix and min­gle dur­ing your drink’s recep­tion, and a live show band for the evening.

HOW DO YOU BOOK WED­DING MUSIC?

Unlike many oth­er agen­cies who leave you to organ­ise the fin­er details of your live wed­ding enter­tain­ment, you’ll talk direct­ly to us through­out the book­ing process and lead up to the day. Once you’ve decid­ed on your live enter­tain­ment, we’ll send you a book­ing agree­ment, which is our ver­sion of a con­tract via our online client por­tal. This will have all the infor­ma­tion you will need about the acts you have booked and your sched­ule. We’ll also intro­duce you to your own ded­i­cat­ed mem­ber of our in-house Gecko team.

We col­lab­o­rate with you right up to the day to ensure every­thing is in place and can include the music choic­es for your pro­ces­sion­al and reces­sion­al, your first dance, and even entrance to the wed­ding break­fast. We’ll also liaise direct­ly with your venue, and we’ll coor­di­nate your acts, so every­thing runs like clock­work. We even go as far as to make sure we know the best routes for our per­form­ers to take to load in and out of your venue, so it is quick, sim­ple, and discrete.

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT...

  • "We used Gecko for our wedding at The Beacon in September and cannot recommend them enough - Matt was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish, took it upon himself to contact the venue directly about logistics, shared his tips and knowledge and made us feel entirely confident that everything was in hand, meaning we were very relaxed!"
    — Amelie & Ben - Wedding at The Beacon
  • "...the perfect end to the most special of days..."
    — Matt & Harriet - Pylewell Park
  • "We had gecko entertainment at our wedding with AKA the band! WOW!! If you are looking for a wedding band or a band to get everyone up and going you have found the one!! I have worked in weddings and have never known a crowd to get so involved due to the amazing energy the band gave us!"
    — Pippa & Ed - Kent Wedding
  • "I couldn't recommend Gecko Entertainment enough! Matt is amazing, he is very responsive and actually cares about his clients. We had Ross as our wedding singer from start to finish he was brilliant. We are very happy and would 100% use Ross again."
    — Emma & Jonny - Silchester Farm Wedding
  • "Horizon played at our wedding at Pangdean Barn on the 6th July. They are fantastic musicians, total pros and the whole experience was amazing. They really seemed to enjoy themselves and so did the guests. Matt the manager was super responsive and helpful. Highly recommend these guys for your wedding."
    — Vicky & Simon - Pangdean Old Barn Wedding
  • "They were professional, responsive, and genuinely enthusiastic about making our special day perfect."
    — Peter & Andrew - Stanlake Park Wedding
  • "Matt was fantastic to deal with. Made life easy for us ahead of our wedding at Silchester farm. Amber acoustic duo and Tangfastic duo performed and were fantastic. Live music at its best. Highly recommend. Thanks so much"
    — Andy & Kimberley - Silchester Farm Wedding
  • "Gecko worked with us to ensure the best value for money, with the same performers (Stud) providing acoustic music for the ceremony, a roaming band for the drinks reception and our evening band. They were incredible and all of our guests were asking for their name and where to book them. They really understood the crowd and the dancefloor was full until the very last song - and even then people were crying out for more."
    — Amelie & Ben - Wedding at The Beacon
  • "Matt from Gecko was amazing from the get-go.. so helpful from the beginning with suggestions, right the way through to performing as part of the Guitar Duo for the day. Our guests loved their energy and we have a wonderful memory of everyone slowly realising they were playing Jurassic Park when we were signing our papers :)"
    — Renais & Dan - Silchester Farm Wedding
  • "They were amazing with the set up and getting everything sorted without us even noticing. Also the communication was brilliant any questions was answered in a phone call and the google form they send 6 weeks before is so useful and makes sure that you have the most perfect day!"
    — Pippa & Ed - Kent Wedding
  • "We had DJ Ross for our wedding at Owlpen Manor, and he was amazing! He had the dance floor going every minute of the evening with all of our favourite music (note: we didn’t make it easy with such a huge mix of genres from cheesy pop classics, dancehall, club, RnB, afrobeats, and of course a bit of ABBA - the list goes on!). He was fantastic and so many guests highlighted how amazing it was and they couldn’t stop dancing."
    — Ayeley & Harry - Owlpen Manor Wedding
  • "The music was absolutely beautiful, creating the perfect atmosphere for both our ceremony and reception. Our guests were equally impressed and commented on how the live music elevated the entire experience. Alan seamlessly blended a mix of our requested songs chosen from his big repertoire, appealing to everyone present."
    — Peter & Andrew - Stanlake Park Wedding
