'The RockPins performed at our wedding in July at Cooling Castle Barn. They performed brilliantly, were wonderfully enthusiastic and cooperative on the day and the run up to it.
Their song selection is varied and they really did play something for everyone. They performed our first dance song, our father daughter dance and were our main evening entertainment. It suited our day down to the ground and really had our guests moving by the end of the night. They were exactly what we wanted for our evening and were a complete dream to work with. A real change from your typical 'wedding music'! Thank you RockPins! :)'

9th December 2022 - Private Function - Gallagher Stadium, Maidstone - 'Having heard The RockPins at a friend's wedding and seeing the atmosphere they created we knew that as soon as we were looking for a band for our work party The RockPins were the band for us. All communication from Matt was so friendly and professional and gave us all the information we needed. On the night of the party, they set up and sound checked, bringing everything they needed with them. We had a brief discussion about the playlist for the night, number of sets but I was more than happy to leave it to their professional judgement. The dance floor was never empty and everyone was singing along. Having The RockPins at our party made the night and the whole team send their compliments. Thank you Matt and the Band!'

23rd July 2022 - Wikum & Sam - Hyde Estate, Sussex - Wedding -
'We were after a great live band for our wedding, and boy did these guys deliver! We received many comments afterwards on how fantastic the music was with some saying it was the best music they'd heard at a wedding (and we'd agree!). Their sound is very polished from the guitar playing (incredible solos), to the vocals, drumming and harmonies. They have a comprehensive and large setlist (available on their website) playing everything through from rock classics, indie gems and modern pop, from 60s to present day. Matt is very responsive to the audience's mood and requests, so the dance floor was packed all night. Really easy communication with Matt beforehand, we made a few particular requests which were incorporated but left the bulk of the song selection to them as we were confident in their setlist, and also made requests for the DJ setlist. They can be booked as either a 3 piece or 4 piece, we went for the latter. Matt was really helpful on the general sound set up throughout the day, and was flexible to timing changes. Lighting was also impressive. Thanks to the Rockpins for making our day so memorable!'

2019 - Knockholt, Kent - Wedding
'Matt & the band played our wedding at the end of August (4-piece band & DJ set). They are multi award winning for a good reason; Matt & the boys were absolutely fantastic. From getting the set list spot on (no easy task ensuring multiple generations hit the dance floor!) to their pitch perfect interaction with the crowd (these boys know how to work a room), they were one of the main reasons why everyone was commenting on how much of a great time they had. It was a truly fantastic party. Matt is a true professional; he called in at the venue the day before the wedding to ensure the set up on the day would run smoothly (which it did without a hiccup) and to ensure they got the volume/atmosphere just right (an important consideration as the venue was a marquee in a garden in a small rural village). On the night itself, the band arrived right on time, set the entire stage up without any interference to the wedding happening all around them, played a blinding set that got everyone, young & old, up on the dance floor for the whole night. I cannot recommend The RockPins highly enough. Get them booked, you won't regret it!'
