    California Waiting
    Biography:

    California Waiting are an exhilarating 4-piece rock and pop band who play a huge array of crowd-pleasing rock and indie floor-fillers and pop and soul classics to ensure your guests have an incredible time all night long.

    Delivering a fun-packed repertoire of everything from Queen to Maroon 5 and The Beatles to The Arctic Monkeys, California Waiting's sets are so enticing - no-one will be able to resist the urge to get on the dance floor!

    No strangers to the stage, the band members have performed at Y Not Festival, Dot 2 Dot and at various O2 Academies around the country. They've had airplay on Channel 4 as well as on the radio. The front man has experience of headlining sold-out gigs at Rough Trade and The Chameleon, and once supported 'Dead Mans Shoes' and 'Hot Fuzz' actor Paddy Considine's band Riding The Low.

    If you fancy some daytime entertainment, California Waiting offer a lounge-style acoustic trio to create a laid-back vibe at your drinks reception. If you can't get enough of the band, they offer an early arrival and a late finish of 1am so you can rock out for longer if your venue allows it!

    A DJ playlist is provided as standard and you can upgrade to a manned DJ if you'd like to be able to make requests on the night. California Waiting will learn a song request for free, meaning you can have a personalised performance of your dream song for your first dance. Lighting and a professional PA system are included in your quote.

    Bookings are filling up fast so snap up this phenomenal band while you still can!

    "California Waiting were an amazing addition to our wedding. The band arrived on time, and were very easy to deal with. They worked our song choices into their set, and really helped get everyone dancing. We did wonder whether our guests would actually prefer a DJ service to a live band; but it was an excellent addition to our wedding, which our guests loved. 5/5"

    "California Waiting absolutely brought the vibe we wanted to our wedding evening. Both myself and my partner had an amazing evening, with multiple guests mentioning how amazing the band are, getting everyone up dancing and having fun and singing along. They were exceptionally accommodating, playing the songs that we requested from their set list. We would absolutely recommend anyone to have California Waiting at their event. Thank you for helping make our day so special!"
    Luke - Wedding - Norfolk
    "We booked California Waiting through Entertainment Nation for our September wedding in Essex. Not only were they very easy to deal with in the lead up, they were phenomenal on the day including a relatively niche first dance! The band did an acoustic set during our cocktail reception before three live sets throughout the evening and managed to keep the dance floor packed all night long! Nearly every single guest commented to us on how exceptional the band were! On top of this, it was clear that..." Read More

    "If we could give California Waiting 6 stars out of 5, we would. The band were incredible from start to finish and the dance floor was completely packed all night. The guys allowed guests to request songs and brought the energy all evening. California Waiting made our wedding day truly special and one to remember for all of our guests. Everyone who attended commented on how good the band was and if we ever need a band again we will definitely be using California Waiting as we could not recommend..." Read More

    "For our 25th wedding anniversary we hired California Waiting - they were absolutely superb, in the lead up to the event keeping in touch as well as on the night - thank you so very much for helping make a memorable evening for us."

    "Only rating we can give the guys is 5 out of 5. They were unbelievable and everyone loved them. They seemed to set everything up with minimal fuss and then the performance and vocals were top notch. Better than the promo vids or anything I had expected above the music, which was superb, they are 3 genuine guys and very accommodating. Would recommend to absolutely everyone considering getting a band for a wedding or any other event for that matter. Unreal."
    Matthew - Wedding - Derbyshire
    "Entertainment Nation make the process of sourcing and booking entertainment for your event extremely easy. We booked an amazing band (called California Waiting) through their site for our wedding just gone, and all our guests were highly complimentary about the band and how good the evening had been. If I hadn't seen Entertainment Nation advertised through social media, I wouldn't have been able to find this band and throw such a great party. Thanks guys for delivering such an awesome..."

    "We booked California Waiting through Entertainment Nation were absolutely amazing! They got the party started and kept it going all night long, our guests are still talking about how good they were even now, weeks later! We wouldnÕt hesitate to recommend them to other couples looking for a band to play at their wedding or for anyone looking to hire a band!"
    Madeleine - Wedding - North Yorkshire
    "We booked California Waiting for our wedding and they were absolutely wonderful - they really made our night! The dance floor was constantly full with everyone dancing as they pulled out awesome tune after awesome tune. There was huge demand for 'ONE MORE SONG' from the entire dance floor at the end of the night, which I've never seen at a wedding before. We really cannot thank them enough! It's worth mentioning that booking our wedding band through Entertainment Nation was..." Read More
