Waterfront

Waterfront is a live band from Ayr in Scotland that performs at weddings, corporate functions and other private events. The band is a family-run business with more than twenty years of experience, and says it has played more than 1,500 events across Scotland, the UK and abroad, from weddings to award ceremonies.

The wedding set is built for the dance floor. It draws on pop, rock, country and rap, with mash-ups and medleys that join songs from different eras. The published set list runs from Queen, Bon Jovi and Oasis to Dua Lipa, Beyonce and The Killers, with Scottish favourites such as Caledonia and a Loch Lomond and Bohemian Rhapsody mash-up. The band says its musicians are experienced in performing for crowds at all kinds of functions.

“We have delivered packed dance floors to over 1500 clients across Scotland, the UK, and beyond.”

Waterfront

Couples deal directly with the band from the first conversation through to the event. Sound and lighting are part of what the band offers: it describes lighting that can be themed to a couple's colours or vision, haze effects and strobes, and it works with a lighting partner for larger events. Its performances may include strobe lighting and flashing effects, which couples and guests with photosensitivity or epilepsy should take into account.

Waterfront is based in Ayr and travels to events across Scotland and the wider UK. Client messages published by the band describe weddings where the dance floor filled from the first song, including one at a Scottish castle estate for a couple who had booked from the United States.

The party never stopped

The party never stopped! You kept the dance floor full all night, song after song, from the very first note to the final encore. Your energy was infectious, your setlist was spot on, and your talent was next level. The way you read the room and kept everyone on their feet was incredible, even guests who never dance were up and loving it! People are still raving about you, and honestly, so are we. You made the night unforgettable, and we couldn't have asked for a better band to soundtrack the best day of our lives. Thank you for absolutely smashing it!

What a start to married life

I don't even know where to begin. You are one of the reasons our wedding was completely amazing. Every person at my wedding either told me in person or text me to say you are hands down the best band they have ever experienced. People were screaming at me it's like a full on amazing gig. Your version of conversations in the dark for our first dance as well was truly beautiful. We will be eternally thankful for the energy, love, enthusiasm and bloody brilliance you brought to our wedding. What a start to married life!

Everyone was grabbing me and saying the band are amazing

I just wanted to send an email to thank you so much for being part of our amazing day ... You guys are absolutely incredible at what you do and you do not understand how many people have been in touch to compliment you. On the night of the wedding, everyone was grabbing me (when I wasn't on the dance floor) and just kept saying 'the band are AMAZING!!' You are all super talented!!! After the first two songs, the dance floor was full ALL NIGHT!!
