There are times in ones’ life when you look back and wish you could have done things differently. Some bride and grooms look back on their wedding and wish they’d have spent more time planning their entertainment. Luckily, when you hire HARD TO HANDLE as your Cambridge wedding band you’ll only have good feelings for years to come. Your guests will remind you how good the band you hired were and how much time they spent on the dance floor (not that you’ll need them to remind you as you’ll have memories of waking up with sore feet and a hoarse voice from dancing and singing so much).
But even if you didn’t get entirely the dream wedding you’d hoped for, you can do the party thing again properly. Sometimes it can be several years down the road – like Tracey and Crispin, who got married in Las Vegas and then decided to plan a post-wedding party ten years afterwards at The Lodge Hotel, Cambridge! And when you spend ten years planning the perfect party you didn’t have first time around, you’ll have had ten years of attending the wedding receptions of your friends, saying “that bit was good but I’d prefer something else for my party”, spending working out exactly the best way to celebrate ten amazing years with your partner.
With this level of experience, you’re only going to choose the very best in live Cambridge wedding entertainment to entertain the guests you couldn’t invite the first time. And so it was that after an exhaustive search, Tracey and Crispin and chose HARD TO HANDLE as their perfect post-wedding anniversary Cambridgeshire party band. It was clear to them that beyond our vast multi-genre playlist, band + DJ in one service for a surprisingly reasonable fee, we are a hugely entertaining, fun professional band with a proven track record in creating full dance floors.
Of course, you don’t have to take our word for any of this – you will find our playlist, videos and client testimonials here:

Our playlist is now touching 400 songs and there are over 200 videos from brides and grooms who are happy to extol our virtues. We treat each one of the weddings we perform at as unique, and to this end we don’t have a standard setlist. In 2 hours of live band music we can play up to 36 songs, and one wedding setlist can be entirely different from the next. Why? Because we personalise what we based on your song requests. This also applies to our DJ who mixes music live and takes song requests on the night. HARD TO HANDLE BAND to ensure that we reflect your tastes (and those of your guests) as much as possible, which is why both band and DJ sets are fully customisable.
Just like Tracey and Crispin, you are welcome to select your favourite songs for us to play, either from our playlist or you can get creative and ask us to learn and play other songs. Unlike some Cambridgeshire wedding bands, we don’t charge extra for learning new songs – please do watch out for hidden costs when getting quotes – so when you hire us as your Cambridgeshire wedding band you can feel confident that you are getting a fully comprehensive service – live band, live DJ playing the songs you want to hear.

Oh, before we forget, a quick word on hiring live Cambridgeshire wedding entertainment through an entertainment agency. After finding our website direct, Tracey and Crispin also noticed that we were featured on another website; that of an entertainment agency. HARD TO HANDLE are the go-to band for several of the UKs’ largest entertainment agencies, and though you are welcome to hire us though an agency, it will always be more cost effective to hire us direct through our website: www.hardtohandleband.co.uk . This is because entertainment agencies add their commission onto the fee you would normally pay, making it more expensive.
Tracey and Crispin appreciated this, but they also loved our mix of music and onstage energy we brought to their party – “10 out of 10” seems like a pretty strong endorsement to us! So get in touch:
