Chris Stocks & The Guardians

What another brilliant night. Chris and his band played at our works party in a old barn. Easy to communicate, very confident that he will show up and a lovely set of people. Music played are the classics that will get everyone up and dancing. Cannot recommend more highly.

Chris recently played at my wedding and it was an amazing experience. He was so helpful, kind and fun to be around. His live sets during our reception got every one on the dance floor (even a few people who never dance! ) and he kept the party going all night with his DJ set later on. He played the walk out song after our ceremony, as well as our first dance song and it was really special to have these played live. We planned our wedding from Colorado, and he was so helpful and responsive to my many questions over email. If you have the chance to work with him for your wedding, I highly suggest you take it!

We would 100% recommend Chris. He was the perfect start to our wedding reception playing amazing music choices to our guests straight after we said I Do. The song choices were great and the guests loved them all especially the football songs as England had just got through to the semi finals the night before our wedding. His acoustic music suited our venue and wedding so much. Amazing voice. Thank you so much Chris!

Chris made our wedding arrival drinks time so much more special with his singing and playing. It was so magical. Chris is also so friendly and helpful and was so, so kind to us. We cannot recommend him enough.

Chris and 2 members of the band played for us during our wedding evening reception a week ago. They were amazing! Communication from day 1 was easy and Chris was alway quick to respond. We made some last minute changes, adding in the band members with very little notice and they were extremely accommodating. We had the best night and you guys contributed to that hugely! We’ve had lots of our guests asking “where did you find the band! ? ” and everyone has commented on how brilliant you were. Thank you for being part of the best night of our lives!

Absolutely amazing! Nothing too much trouble and the dance floor filled constantly all night. Lovely people and would highly recommend. Thank you so much for making our wedding amazing.

Absolutely amazing singer everyone has commented on how good you was. You made our night thank you so much highly recommended.

Cannot overstate just how pleased we were with Chris Stocks and The Guardians! They performed at another event we attended in 2022 and they were absolutely brilliant so my wife and I knew we had to have them at our wedding. They did not dissapoint one bit, they were absolutely incredible. Their performance was so excellent they had the whole room up dancing the entire night. Not only that they had excellent communication with us leading up to the event, were in constant contact when necessary. Their rendition of the songs most important to my wife and I also blew everyone away and I could not have been happier, to say they did justice to the songs would be an understatement. I'd give six stars if I could, very strongly recommended.

We hired Chris and the band for our wedding, he’s becoming a regular at family weddings now so after hearing him before we knew we wanted the same for our wedding. You guys did not disappoint, from start to finish you were incredible. Our first dance song was spot on and exactly what we wanted. Chris replied to all my million questions quickly via email and helped arrange little extras for my dance with my Dad too. Nothing was too much trouble for him. The loveliest guy.

Chris Stocks and The Guardians are absolutely brilliant! We hired the band for our hospital department summer party. We haven't had one since before COVID and wanted to create a brilliant atmosphere for all age ranges as everyone's families were there too. It was important to create a party atmosphere and get everyone on the dance floor and Chris and his band were fantastic and the music was perfect, great live band and everyone said how great they were. Chris was great beforehand, he wanted to get a good understanding of where the venue was, what kind of music we wanted, and was so accommodating with regards to time frames and DJ'ing between sets etc. Chris and the band had a great sound system and brought all their own lights and the live music sounded great, there was something for everyone and we would definitely recommend them.

Chris played at our drinks reception yesterday and he was fantastic. A great set list of songs which went well with all ages and styles. Amazing voice and a lovely guy. It was the perfect day! Thanks so much Chris.

Chris provided the music throughout our wedding, including our first dance. His voice was amazing and his tunes kept the dance floor busy throughout the night! We've had many guests compliment him and his music and would highly recommend! .

Chris and the guardians were amazing! Thank you so so so much for being part of our day! We would 1000% recommend Chris and the band! Mr and Mrs Playforth 29. 7. 23!

Chris played at our wedding do, and we cannot thank you enough, everyone had an amazing time and danced the night away, we have received some lovely comments about how good he was, would definitely recommend thank you again.

Chris played for our wedding, he was so easy to get in touch with beforehand to discuss what we wanted and he worked with us pj our special requests so we were happy with it all. On the day he got on with what he needed to do and we didn’t have to do anything he had it all under control like a true professional. We have has so many compliments from our guests to pass on and people are already asking for his details. Can’t recommend Chris enough. He’s a true professional with a personable character and with such talent. Thank you Chris.

We booked Chris for our wedding. He was fabulous. Great acoustic guitar and voice sessions and Dj sets in between. All our guests loved him. Everyone danced non-stop. Highly recommend. Thanks Chris.

We booked Chris to play acoustic music for our wedding ceremony and reception drinks. Chris was so easy to deal with. We really liked his professional but relaxed approach. On the day Chris was great! He played a specific song for our aisle walk which was perfect and then a variety of acoustic songs for the reception drinks. We would highly recommend Chris to others!

Chris and two of his band members provided the entertainment for our 25th wedding anniversary and vow renewal marquee event. Communication with Chris prior to the event was excellent and he was helpful, professional and supportive of what we were trying to achieve. On the day, and despite a torrential downpour and thunderstorm, they arrived on time and set up efficiently and competently working effectively with our AV team. Then the actual performance - two sets and our 70 guests were absolutely blown away by the quality of the playing and Chris's voice. Brilliantly judged range of songs had most of our guests up and dancing and Chris interacted brilliantly with the crowd - even at the end of the second set when some were a little merry! Several of our friends have events upcoming and all asked us for Chris's contact and many commented that this was the best 'wedding' band they'd heard. Unhesitatingly recommend and we will be back in touch for any future events. Many thanks Chris!

Chris sang at my daughters wedding. Amazing voice, fit in so well. Perfect song choices, loved it! Highly recommended.

We booked Chris for our wedding at the Crab n Lobster, Thirsk. Chris performed, pre and post wedding (during the drinks reception) ceremony including singing the Bridal Party Entrance Song - he had the place in tears of joy. He then performed for the evening function and had everyone dancing and singing throughout the night. Not just a great entertainer but a truly lovely man. A pleasure to deal with at all times - and a calming influence as the wedding approached. I would highly recommend Chris. Excellent.
