When May rolls across the Somerset hills, it brings golden light, green fields, and—if the stars align—a celebration that lets a Wedding band Bristol outfit like Agent Funk do what they do best. Ellie and Mike chose the breathtaking Folly Farm Centre for their wedding, giving us the perfect backdrop to unleash a night of soul, funk, and dance-floor delight. As one of the best wedding bands in Bristol, we knew we were in for a treat the moment we pulled up to the venue’s picture-perfect grounds.

We arrived at 7pm, greeted by Matt—Folly Farm’s chief organiser, calm-bringer, and general hero of logistics. As Ellie and Mike wrapped up their cake-cutting moment, we tuned up for their first dance: the beautifully tender Heaven to Meby Theo Lawrence & The Hearts. They asked for a shortened intro (a wise choice), and we tailored it to perfection. For anyone curious, here’s the track: Heaven to Me – Theo Lawrence & The Hearts.

For a couple looking at wedding music bands in Bristol during their planning, they clearly had excellent taste—not that we’re biased.

At 8pm we kicked off the first set, blasting out the kind of grooves that make even reluctant dancers reconsider. During the break, Ellie and Mike chose our curated playlist to keep the energy buzzing—always a smooth option for those who want a seamless night.

By 10pm, the room was fully warmed up and ready for round two. Basslines rolled, horns soared, vocals lit up the room, and the crowd went all-in. Ellie and Mike barely left the dance floor, leading spontaneous sing-alongs and joining in dance circles with gusto. For anyone searching for Wedding bands Bristol or trying to decide which Bristol function band brings the party—this night was proof that Agent Funk does not do things halfway.

Folly Farm’s in-house catering team earned instant legend status thanks to a mac-and-cheese bar so comforting it could solve most of life’s problems. Ellie and Mike also made sure vegan options were available for the two members of our band who needed them—always appreciated when we’re on site for several hours.

The day ran seamlessly thanks to the talented supporting suppliers: photographer Josette Crispin https://www.josettecrispinphotography.co.uk/ who captured both the quiet glances and the full-tilt funk moments, and videographer Jake Bufton (info@jakebufton.co.uk), https://www.jakebufton.co.uk whose cinematic instincts ensured every groove was preserved for posterity.

With a crowd ready to celebrate, a venue straight out of a countryside daydream, and a couple as warm as Ellie and Mike, May delivered everything a Bristol bands for hire experience should be—and more. It’s the kind of night that reminds us why wedding band hire Bristol searches often land couples right at our doorstep.

If you’re planning your own celebration and want Agent Funk—one of the most joy-fuelled Wedding bands Bristol has to offer—to bring the rhythm, the soul, and the serious grooves, we’re ready when you are. Let’s make your wedding the next story worth telling.
