With years of experience performing at a wide range of weddings across Manchester and the North, Agent Smith offer a flexible, fun and bespoke service to each couple that includes them in their big day.

Having performed at locations such as Rookery Hall, Thornton Manor, Clitheroe Castle, Heaton House, Sandhole Oak Barn, Meols Hall and Mottram Hall, Agent Smith have a track record of raising the roof at wedding venues across the region.

Seamlessly mixing together rock’n’roll, Merseybeat, 80s anthems, Britpop, pop-punk, R&B and modern chart favourites, the band have a well-deserved reputation for providing entertainment for all ages and tastes.

Impress your new in-laws with the best songs from their dance hall days and rally your friends around for some belting classics; Agent Smith pride themselves in curating made-to-measure shows that meet the specific requirements of your wedding day.

If you’re keen for music to play a big part in your wedding celebrations, Agent Smith are the safest pair of hands to trust.

With band members also able to provide an acoustic duo earlier in the day and a DJ service to take the party into the early hours, the band are the perfect one-stop shop to fix premium entertainment for your big day – and take the stress out of the planning!

Agent Smith only use top-of-the-range equipment and have set-ups to accommodate any location you choose to celebrate in, whether large or small. As a band, they are also willing to travel to make your celebrations possible so do get in touch about any venue that you have in mind.

Agent Smith are a Manchester based wedding band, but they regularly perform in Liverpool, Leeds, Lancashire, Cumbria, Staffordshire, Shropshire, Yorkshire, and Cheshire.

How to book

So you’ve made up your mind and it’s time to book Agent Smith. To make this as official and easy as possible, Agent Smith have their contracts handled by their agents at Function Central. They’ll be able to draw that up for you and send over. Once that’s signed and your deposit has been paid (the rest of the agreed fee can always wait until later if you would prefer), then the booking is officially in the bag!

Our agents will also be really happy to hear from you about any special requests for your music on the day – particular songs you would like to hear or styles of music that you can prefer. For a 90-minute performance, you can expect to hear around 20 songs and most bands are happy to include requests, such as a first dance, in that line up.

Make sure that you keep us updated with the latest timings of your day too so that can be sure to arrive, set up and soundcheck all at times that work for you.
