"Dear The Honey,
I'm not sure you realise what you did for us.
We had postponed our wedding twice, changed venues, lost suppliers and spent nearly three years trying to get to the day. By the time the evening came around, we were exhausted.
Then you started playing and suddenly everyone we loved was in one room, dancing.
Yellow was the moment I completely lost it. I looked across the dance floor and saw my mum, my best friend, my brother and my husband all singing together. It was one of the most beautiful moments of the entire day.
And then, naturally, you followed it with absolute chaos.
Kyanna was incredible - effortlessly good at singing - and the boys were completely locked in. Owen in particular seemed physically incapable of stopping.
We booked a wedding band. What we got was a proper live show, and it was so cool to make friends with you all after.
Thank you for giving us the ending our wedding deserved. We will genuinely never forget it."

"We booked The Honey for a 250-person company celebration in the French Alps and they were exceptional from start to finish.
What impressed us most was how quickly they understood the brief. This wasn't a traditional corporate event, we wanted something stylish, energetic and a little bit unexpected - and they completely got it.
They looked fantastic on stage, interacted brilliantly with the room and adjusted their energy perfectly as the evening progressed.
There was a particularly brilliant moment halfway through the second set when Kyanna brought the room together for Firework Katy Perry, as a firework display started up on the terrace outside. A couple of hundred people singing along in the mountains was genuinely one of those moments you remember.
Then they completely flipped the mood and had everyone dancing again within minutes.
They felt like a contemporary live band rather than a corporate function act - which is exactly what we were looking for and seems hard to find.
We would have no hesitation recommending The Honey for high-end events where the entertainment needs to feel memorable, modern and genuinely exciting."

"We spent ages looking for a band because I was adamant I didn't want the standard wedding-band experience like cheesy outfits, predictable medleys and someone shouting 'COME ON EVERYBODY!' every 30 seconds.
The Honey were the complete opposite.
They looked incredibly cool, sounded huge and had the confidence of a proper touring band. You could tell they were actually musicians rather than people who just happen to play weddings.
The set was perfect. Our friends were hooked from the first song, and by the time White Wedding came on, the dance floor was completely rammed. Rob's guitar work was ridiculous. We had guests asking us afterwards whether they were a signed band.
Honestly, that says it all.
If you're getting married and want a band that feels like a real gig rather than wedding entertainment, book The Honey."

Here’s some of our most frequently asked questions. For more specific enquiries, please just give us a shout, we want to hear from you!
How far in advance should we book?
As soon as you know your date, really. Popular dates (weekends, especially in summer) can book up 12+ months ahead, but we've also pulled off cracking gigs with just a few weeks' notice if we're free. The earlier you lock it in, the more choice you'll have.
How much do you charge?
You can use the instant quote button on this page to get a price straight away — your fee will appear on screen, and you'll also get a follow-up email confirming it. If we're available and you're happy with the price, get back in touch with the Hireaband team to secure the date. It's very much first come, first served, so if we're available, don't hesitate.
What's your payment and cancellation policy?
Hireaband will ask for a reservation fee to secure your date, with the remaining balance due before the event (your booking confirmation will have exact dates and amounts). If you need to cancel or postpone, get in touch as early as possible — the closer to the date, the harder it is for Hireaband to fill the slot, so the cancellation terms reflect that. Full details are in your booking agreement, but the Hireaband team are always happy to talk through the specifics.
What if any timings change after booking you?
No problem at all. We know that timings and details aren't always set in stone at the booking stage, and plans have a habit of evolving as your big day gets closer. We're happy to be flexible around changes to your schedule, and if you decide further down the line that you'd like to add on any extra services, just get in touch with the Hireaband team and they'll sort it out for you.
What should we expect if we've never booked a live band before?
Totally understandable if this all feels a bit new! Booking a band is a big part of your day, so we're here to make it as straightforward as possible. We've performed at countless weddings and events, and the Hireaband team will guide you through every step, from your initial enquiry right through to the big day itself. If you're ever unsure about anything, just ask — that's what we're here for.
If you’re looking for a great wedding and function band that offers something a little different, we might be just what you’re after.
The Honey are a five-piece wedding and party band who sound and look like a band you'd genuinely go and see on a Friday night, not a stereotypical wedding band.
Fronted by the effortlessly soulful Kyanna Hayes on lead vocals and acoustic guitar, alongside Rob Wicks (lead guitar & vocals), Toby Starks (keys & vocals), Mike Bingham (bass) and Owen Coulson (drums), The Honey bring together five accomplished musicians with the polish and confidence of a proper touring act.
Their set moves fluidly from soul and Motown classics through 90s and 00s indie and pop, right up to the biggest songs of today, building a night that keeps every generation on the dance floor, grandparents included.
Guests regularly describe The Honey as one of the best bands they've seen at a wedding, with couples booking them off the back of blistering live performances at private weddings, milestone parties and high-end corporate events across the UK and abroad, including a 250-person company celebration in the French Alps.
Whether it's an acapella moment during the cocktail hour, a spine-tingling first dance, or a full-throttle finish that has the whole room singing along, The Honey are built to make an event feel like a genuine gig rather than background entertainment.
