Bond Themed Weddings

The Bond Tribute Band The Name is Band have performed at some amazing James Bond Themed Weddings over the years!

The Bond films are always a big hit worldwide and there have been so many made over the years.  The gadgets.  The Bond girls.  The Bond cars. The baddies.  The action.  The music.  The many faces of Bond.

There are so many films to choose from and everyone always has their favourite!  Many couples now choose to have something a little different for their wedding and a Bond Tribute Band for your special day is always a hit.

The Bond Tribute Band The Name is Band perform the Bond Themes early in the evening, either through the drinks reception, the wedding breakfast, or towards the end of the meal to add impact, pizzazz and atmosphere.  Later in the evening we play a party set with floor-fillers from the 1960’s to present day chart hits to really get the party started!

Of course, we can also play a more laid-back and chilled set for a drinks reception with a few jazz/easy listening classics.  Having a James Bond theme for your wedding also means that your guests can really go to town with their outfits with the ladies in elegant evening dresses and gentlemen in DJs. We’ve even played weddings where the guests have turned up in their favourite character: Blofeld, Jaws, Pussy Galore, OddJob and even one guest who dressed as Daniel Craig but just wearing blue swimming trunks and a mask!  You can really let your imagination run wild.

If you are thinking about a James Bond Themed Wedding then please get in touch!  We’d love to hear from you!

How do I dress like a bond girl?

It’s your opportunity to be a Bond girl for a night – and there are lots of Bond girls to model yourself on!  Pussy Galore, Plenty O’Toole, Holly Goodhead and Honey Ryder!  Lots of names with double entendres! Of course, it may get a bit chilly if you turned up at a party dressed like Ursula Andress in a bikini or with gold body paint all over but you’d certainly grab more than your fair share of attention!   There’s also the black bodysuit/catsuits although be warned these outfits are fairly unforgiving – you may be a little bit more Pussy Galore than you intended to be!

You don’t have to go that far though!  There are stunning dresses available and every bond girl had the opportunity to wear a sexy and stunning dress either in the film or walking down the red carpet afterwards so there are lots of options available.  Look at your own figures – what style dress works well on you – backless, plunging necklines, halter neck, bodycon, floaty and flirty – there will be a bond style dress to fit!

Whatever your bodyshape remember the emphasis should be on top to toe glamour.  To be honest, the more glamorous the better and this may be one of the occasions when you can actually get away with wearing top to toe in sequins without looking like you are a Shirley Bassey tribute singer!  That’s the job of the female singer in the The Name is Band the Bond Tribute Band – now she LIVES in head to toe sequins – all day, everyday!

Bond Themed Party

There are lots of themes for parties nowadays but a Bond Themed Party is still one of the best themes around! It’s certainly an iconic theme and works for both males and females.  Ladies can be Bond girls for an evening and let’s face it, there are lots of Bond girls over the decades to base the look on – from the haughty Pussy Galore to the voluptuous Plenty O’Toole! Men can be Bond for the night and look suave and sophisticated with the single raised eyebrow and the strong chiseled Bond jaw clench.

If you really want to get the party started then Bond music is totally essential.  If you are planning an informal and laid back relaxed event with a few people attending, then buy one of the many 007 Bond Theme CDs with all the original performers – maybe even buy a Bond themed Karaoke CD and get everyone singing along to them.  To encourage people to get involved offer a prize for the best performance of the night such as a bottle of Martini – The Name is Band of course!

However, if you are planning something spectacular and really want to give your guests the WOW factor then you HAVE to get a live band that can really perform the bond music and, just like Bond, do not make any compromise on our sound or quality.  Of course, not just ANY band will do – you need THE best James Bond themed band in the UK – you need…… the Bond Tribute Band The Name is Band!  There is no other band like it and the Bond Tribute Band perform everything totally live with no backing tracks in sight.  Don’t accept any substitute!  Book the best!
