Overview

Born entertainers who'll keep your dance floor packed all night

The Valentine are a five-piece Scottish wedding and party band, fronted by a powerhouse female vocalist with bass, guitar, keys and drums. They're one of Hireaband's most in-demand bands, known for reading a room and keeping every generation dancing, from ABBA and Whitney Houston through to Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter.

We see a lot of bands in this business, and the majority don't make it on to our roster. But now and again we come across a band so good that we pull out all the stops to get them in front of our lovely clients. The Valentine are one of those bands.

They're a group of incredibly talented, enthusiastic musicians with years of experience in other top bands, who came together through a shared love of great music and a real desire to give people an unforgettable night. They were built from the ground up to shake up the wedding and events scene, and they put on a show you simply won't believe. Don't be surprised if the singer joins your guests on the dance floor.

Total pros on and off stage, they bend over backwards to make sure your celebration runs smoothly. This is a band that will make you look great to your guests and give you memories that last a lifetime.

We honestly couldn’t recommend The Valentine enough! They were absolutely incredible from start to finish and made such a huge difference to our wedding day. The atmosphere they created was amazing and they had everyone up dancing from the very first song right until the end.
They were so professional, friendly and talented, and they completely understood the vibe we wanted for our day. We had so many compliments from our guests about how brilliant they were!
Thank you so much to The Valentine for helping make our wedding day so unforgettable. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band!

What can I say.... the Valentine were out of this world!! From the start to finish, the music choice, the ceildh. Absolutely everything about them was jaw dropping all the band and the amazing lead singer were so passionate about the night that made it more magical for me and my wife! All our guests were blown out of the world with them.
Would highly recommend them for any event!

The Valentine was amazing and kept the party going all night long. So glad they played at our special day!

We were blown away with The Valentine.

We had such an amazing evening and are very glad we chose the Valentine to perform at our wedding. They were very professional and friendly. We had so many guests raving to us about how talented the band were. They had the dancefloor packed and kept us thoroughly entertained all evening, knowing exactly what to play next to keep us all dancing. Guests had such a great time during the ceilidh dancing and the band interacted well with guests, even coming on to the dancefloor to sing with us! We would highly recommend the Valentine to anyone looking to have guests up and moving all night!

The band were excellent again, set up to our times and very helpful. They had folk on the dancefloor all night with great songs. Everyone said what a great night they had.

The Valentine were fantastic and the communication from Hireaband meant we had exactly what we wanted. Will definitely use again!

We had The Valentine for our wedding and it was the most amazing party due to their energy. You were genuinely exactly what we were looking for - talented, fun and knew exactly what songs l would get the party going. You were also great with how flexible you were as we wanted to fit in the ceilidh at a different time slot due to the photographer leaving early. I personally had many people saying how great the band was, and lots have taken down your details. Finally, please keep playing in the next few years - we want you at our anniversary parties!!

The band were incredible, they brought an amazing energy to the day and their performance couldn't have been better!

The Valentine were absolutely outstanding at our wedding. The dance floor was packed all night! They really knew how to keep everyone dancing all night long - everyone we’ve spoken to has raved about how fantastic they were! Thanks once again for the best night ever!!

We had a ball honestly thank yous for such a good night!

What can I say this band made our wedding night! Fantastic music really supportive every step of the way and just brilliant lovely folk! Highly recommend for all ages of guests they did something for everyone, the ceilidh part was a hoot and our first dance ‘a million dreams’ was so perfect and really special thank you so much for performing that song for us! and thank you so much for much for an amazing party for our Big Day!

We booked the Valentine for my birthday party after seeing them live in Cold Town House. They were fantastic and really brought the party. Highly recommend!

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting The Valentine at our Hogmanay Bash at The Barrelman this year, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience from start to finish. From the outset, communication was top-notch – we worked with Grant throughout the lead-up to the event, and he was a total pleasure: professional, responsive, and easy to work with.

The band went above and beyond, even collaborating with our social media team to help promote the night and reach new audiences – a hugely appreciated touch that contributed to a great turnout.

On the night, they arrived promptly, set up quickly, and delivered a smooth soundcheck – true professionals. Once they hit the stage, the energy was electric! They had the dance floor buzzing all night with a brilliant mix of tunes from all eras – every one a crowd-pleasing, party-starting hit. Their connection with the audience was outstanding, and the vibe they created throughout the venue was exactly what we’d hoped for and more.

The feedback from our guests has been nothing short of glowing – everyone raved about how amazing the band were. We would absolutely love to welcome them back in the future and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend them to other venues or couples looking for a top-tier wedding band to bring the party to life.

Thank you again for an unforgettable night!

Such a fantastic, polished band complimented perfectly with great musicianship and great vocals. The perfect fit for any corporate event or wedding. Set-list was spot on and fit the vibe of the event perfectly.

We booked the Valentine for our annual party, and we were so glad we did! They had the dance floor jumping from the first song and were totally professional to deal with. Thank you to the Valentine!

Top marks for The Valentine for our Long Service event

5 Stars all round for The Valentine and Hireaband.

Please pass on our thanks to the band who everyone thought was fantastic! We couldn’t get my dad off the dance floor and he rarely dances (the wine may have helped a bit too!). They were so lovely to deal with and kept us informed and were friendly the whole time, even when the kids took over the dance floor early on!

What a brilliant night from The Valentine. Many of our guests said they were the best band they’d ever seen at a wedding. We’re still getting messages asking us where we found them.

The Valentine simply made our day. We had a few issues earlier in the day caused by the weather, but they were all forgotten when the band took to the stage. They’re all we’ve talked about since and we can’t thank them enough for saving the day and putting a smile on everyone’s faces.

A massive thank you to the band for making our party go with a bang!! The dance floor was never empty they even took requests which totally made our night.Thanks again guys.
