    Your Fictitious DJ Name:
    DJ Tom Tom

    Favourite Entertainment Nation Act and Why:
    The In Thing - The In Thing blow me away with their choice of songs, musicality and the sheer spectacle of their live show.

    Lyde Court in Hereford. It's where I got married, and it was perfect.

    Before I started EN, I was a drummer in a folk/pop band and we were lucky enough to be invited to play on the Graham Norton show. It was the most incredible experience and definitely something I ticked off my bucket list!

    Steven
    Operations Director

    I'm Steven, and I'm the Operations Director here at Entertainment Nation. I spread the word about the top talent available through Entertainment Nation and the amazing work done by our advisers, who make booking bands such a painless process.

    Outside of work? This is like the bit on your CV where you say you like "reading, exercise and socialising with friends". I like reading, exercise and socialising with friends. Also, I attempt to play the guitar and spend far too much time shepherding cats out of the kitchen when they know they're not supposed to go in the kitchen.

    Your Fictitious DJ Name:
    DJ Spatchcock
    Your Favourite Music Genre:

    Your Most Memorable Live Music Experience:
    After fastidiously learning all the words to the song as a teenager, finally seeing Rapper's Delight performed live by the Sugarhill Gang (minus Hank - R.I.P. Big Bank). The show was at 2pm on a very rainy afternoon, in front of a sparse and soggy Solihull crowd - not exactly how I imagined the moment - but the energy the guys put into the performance meant it was a life's ambition fulfilled.

Outside of work I'm a keen crime drama and psychological thrillers watcher, I love crafts and I'm always scrolling on Instagram or watching vloggers on YouTube.

    In my spare time I'm mainly found 'mumming' my two sassy little girls, or out walking my biggest baby: my gorgeous German Shepherd, Buddy. I find any excuse to book a spa day with the girls or a city break with the hubs. I like running, and my happy place is a cosy gin bar with a pink G&T.

    We booked the band SMOOTHIE through EN for our wedding reception, and the whole process was made really easy from start to finish! The agency took care of all the contracts quickly, and SMOOTHIE got in touch with us personally about a month before the big day to make sure everything was on track. They learned out first dance song in record time (and not one of the usual songs that everyone knows either!), and on the day they were super professional and friendly. They loaded in and setup quickly and quietly, and then got everyone inside and on the dancefloor despite the incredibly hot evening. They had a great setlist, played superbly and made sure we all had a great night dancing! Thank you SMOOTHIE, highly recommended!
    Robert - Wedding - Cambridgeshire
    From our first inquiry with Entertainment Nation they were professional and so helpful. The process for booking a band was so easy. Any questions we had were answered quickly. As for Hatchland, they are absolutely brilliant. All the guys in the band are lovely, friendly and they gave an amazing performance that we and our wedding guests loved. The singers voice is so good! Their setlist was perfect! It's an easy 5 out of 5, would recommend to everyone! We loved them!
    David - Wedding - Gloucestershire
    5 Star performance all round! From day one it was very easy to search through the options on the website and see who we liked and who was available and the booking process was quick and very easy to run through. As for the band themselves, what can I say other than Foxland where amazing! They were everything we hoped they would be and more. They delivered a truly amazing couple of sets for us and made the first dance feel so special. On top of that they were genuinely a lovely group of very friendly guys who were more than happy to have a chat with you and join in the fun of the evening and helped make the day so special for us all. So many of our guests commented on how good they were and how much fun they made the evening! I would happily recommend them to anyone!!
    Daniel - Wedding - Nottinghamshire
    Entertainment Nation have great support with booking and organising our wedding band. They were so responsive through the way, which really put us at ease. The booking process was also really simple. In terms of Wildcard, they were fantastic on the day. They played a great mix of classics and modern floorfillers, which got everyone at our wedding dancing all night long. They sound even better live than they do on the videos, and all our guests were so complimentary of the band. They were also really flexible around timings and set up, in line with the rest of our wedding schedule. We would recommend both Wildcard and Entertainment Nation
    Carson - Wedding - South Scotland
    Entertainment Nation make the process of sourcing and booking entertainment for your event extremely easy. We booked an amazing band (called California Waiting) through their site for our wedding just gone, and all our guests were highly complimentary about the band and how good the evening had been. If I hadn't seen Entertainment Nation advertised through social media, I wouldn't have been able to find this band and throw such a great party. Thanks guys for delivering such an awesome service.
    Ryan - Wedding - South Yorkshire
    We booked the Bowermen for our wedding. Entertainment Nation were amazing to work with and always responded in a timely manner with all the info the band required and the requests/time frame we had proposed. It could not have been easier to book and organise the band for the day. The band were simply incredible, I have never been to a party where everyone has got up to dance, but these guys managed to get everyone dancing! Even our older relatives! They are an extremely talented group and absolutely made the evening for us. They also controlled a playlist for us in between sets and played our first dance song via Spotify too so we didn't have to worry about getting it all set up. The style of music they play was perfect for us and our guests. I knew they would be good when we booked them, but they completed exceeded expectations. To the Bowermen - you have our greatest thanks for a wonderful evening to end our perfect day. I would highly recommend booking them, they do not disappoint. Thanks again from J&A
