Waking Ugly is such a fantastic duo, Lydia was very prompt and easy to talk to which made organising all the details much more easier. Lydia and Darren played at our ceremony and even learn a new song to sing that we request. Having live music when walking down the aisle made it all the more special and I highly recommend considering this. We had people from all ages and the music list catered for all everyone. They are very talented and bought such a relaxed, lovely vibe that was perfect for our wedding. Lydia and Darren were so accommodating and even helped with some equipment issues we had on the night. I really cannot thank them both enough.

Waking ugly made our reception extremely fun. Their sound was beautiful and energy was exciting. Waking ugly learnt a new song at our request for a first dance and continued to play with an uncore after the final song as the fun was continuing. Thank you very much guys!!

We had a great experience with Lydia and Darren. They put a lot of effort in meeting us before the wedding and also organised the set up of a projector and helped connecting our laptop to their sound system for our wedding presentation. We love their music, they provided great entertainment during the evening. They let us choose our song selection from a huge list with lots of variety and they were even learning to play certain songs that we wished for without any extra charges. Their efforts definitely exceeded our expectations. Thanks a lot guys, you were great!
