The Swithas Band - Portugal

We can't thank the Swithas enough for being a part of our special day. Silvio was absolutely amazing from the start he was so helpful with his recommendations. They are absolutely gifted musicians and they made our day so special. The Swithas will absolutely blow you away! So good at getting the crowd ready to party. Their song choices and vibe is just perfect 🎉💃🕺🏻

Silvio! Thank you and your band so much for making our day 2 so amazing and bringing the energy! You were so nice and easy to deal with, nothing was a hassle.
We never left the dance floor and all of the guests, young and older said the same 🕺Thank you for playing all of my favourites, everyone was blown away by every cover you did 😍 I wish we could do it all again! See you the next time we are in the Cheeky Pup (or at one of my friends weddings as they are wanting to book you guys after our day 2)
All the best,
Rebecca & Barry

This band will completely blow you away! Silvio and the rest of the group are honestly outstanding at what they do! Silvio has the best voice and can adapt seemlessly between many genres depending on how the crowd are feeling!!
Silvio even picked up on small things I asked him to do that he felt weren’t 100% and he was spot on it! So pro-active and genuinely eager with making sure everything runs smoothly!
So responsive, friendly and calming. They are honestly the best in their field!

The floor was full all night and everyone commented on how good they were all day long!! They are really amazing!!!

Do not wait to Book this band
So so happy we had them as our wedding band and will remember the night forever because of them!!

A wedding is only as good as its guests and a band that can read the room and create an electric atmosphere.

The Swithas are unreal and masters of getting the room going playing music that caters for all.

Every guests question the next day was where did you find these guys they were unreal 🙌🙌.

Couldn’t thank them enjoy for creating such a special vibe on an already special day.

The Swithas were exceptional! Loved the light up dance floor, the boys were so organised, talented and fun! The music was incredible and everyone danced all night long! HIGHLY RECCOMEND!!

We can’t speak highly enough of Silvio and the Swithas band! We booked the full day wedding package for our wedding at the end of June and they were incredible from start to finish. The band kept turning out tune after tune which kept our guests on the dance floor all night. We also had so many people saying how fantastic they were. Communication was great and we highly recommend ! Thank you so much

We booked The Swithas Band for our wedding following recommendation from our Planner who told us under no uncertain terms they were the absolute best and by God, she was right! Every single person who attended commented how they were the best band they had ever heard play. The song choices were incredible all carried by Silvio and his unbelievable vocals. The atmosphere was electric: everything was simply flawless! We danced and danced and our feet are still recovering a week later. If you are considering your band do not hesitate if you are lucky enough to get The Swithas!!

Silvio and his band were absolutely fantastic on our wedding day. From the very first time I spoke to Silvio he has been so easy to deal with and extremely accommodating. From providing speakers, mic and music for our ceremony at Lady of the Rock to singing beautifully at our cocktail hour we couldn’t have been happier. They had our guests out on the dance floor all night long and even let a few of our guests sing also which was very much appreciated. They were so much fun all night long and had all our guests raving about them for the days after the wedding. We would highly recommend The Switha’s to anybody who is looking for a wedding band, you’ll not regret getting them! Thanks for everything guys!!

I have used the Switha's band twice for private corporate gigs in Ireland.
They are so professional & entertaining that we got them back a second time.
Silvio and the band are incredible musicians and singers and are so good at reading the crowd keeping everyone entertained. They are charismatic & really got everyone involved.
They also did an acoustic set during dinner. The feedback I received after our event on this band has been phenomenal and having a great band like this really makes our events a huge success. I have no doubt that I will use the Switha's again for future events.

The Swithas were the most amazing band and we couldn't have wished for a better band to play at our wedding. The whole group were so much fun and really got the party going! We loved their energy and all our guests kept saying how great they were! We can't thank them enough for making our day perfect! Thank you!!

The Swithas Band was amazing! They changed their normal schedule for us and played during the wedding meal which was amazing! It created a really fun relaxed atmosphere and all our guests were up dancing which is what we wanted!! So many of our guests commented on how amazing they was from the day right through to the evening I could not recommend this band enough! They made our wedding day so much fun and we danced all day and night!! We can't thank them enough!

Silvio and his band were incredible from the first contact. Organising a wedding from the UK to take place in Portugal can be a little stressful, but he set our minds at ease. On the wedding day itself the band were very friendly and played incredible music. All of our guests are still talking about the band and even our wedding planner asked where we had found Silvio for future reference. We cannot thank Silvio and his band enough and we would recommend then again and again. We really hope to see them play again soon. Thank you so much for making our day even more special and memorable. We will never forget it!

The Swithas did our wedding in July 2023 in Malaga!

They were incredible. The dance floor was packed from start to finish! They played the songs that we choose from their set list, interacted so well with the crowd, and had such energy!

So many of our guests were asking who they were as they were ?one of the best wedding bands they ever saw!?

They were also such nice guys and easy to deal with!

Thanks so much Silvio and crew!

Simply incredible?made our special day totally amazing?.the fun vibe they created along with the professionalism made our special day that bit more special and memorable?.If anyone is considering a band?.these are them??

A massive thank you to Silvio & the entire Swithas band for playing at our wedding! From the ceremony at Nossa Senhora da Rocha to the cocktail hour and after-dinner band & DJ at a different venue 40min away, they totally nailed it at our wedding.

Silvio really had a knack for selecting the right songs that got everyone, even the older generation, up on the dance floor all night long - we never saw an empty dance floor. The vibe they created was just so energizing and fun, and closely tailored for us and our guests regardless of their differing nationalities (UK, USA, Australia, Germany)!

Our guests were all praises for the Switha's Band - we had multiple comments the next day saying that they were the best wedding band they've ever come across. They felt like more than just a band - they were a part of our big day, taking photos and videos for us and letting us sing some of our favourite songs as well! They really added that extra spark to our wedding, making it all the?more?memorable for us by making sure all night that the bride & groom were always comfortable and happy with the music.

Thank you!
Britta & Elliott

Thank you so much to you all for the most phenomenal day we could have ever hoped for.
Nothing short of exceptional!

We hired The Swithas to play at our wedding based on the set list that they shared with us, which is very large and caters to a range taste of music styles. As we were marrying abroad with little knowledge of the bands who play in that area, we were just happy to have found a band, but they turned out to be better than any I've seen at any wedding. Silvio's voice is great and the rest of his band are extremely enthusiastic, which really lifts the mood when they play. They also let 2 of us join them on stage to play along with them after finding out we were musicians. Having played in bands before, I appreciate how trusting it was of them to do this, and it made the night even more special for all involved. Highly recommend booking this band!
Silvio was also able to provide background music on the day and carry out all the AV required, which made planning the wedding so much easier.,

Most amazing wedding band ever!! The performance was excellent, we and the guests absolutely loved it - it made the night of the wedding so much fun and had everyone up dancing for hours. You were all such great performers and even allowed the groom to perform as well with you which was really special for us. We would 100% recommend these guys for anyone considering them.

We just want to thank the Swithas Band for everything they did on our wedding day. They were truely exceptional, they were involved in our ceremony, drinks reception, dinner, party and DJ.

Just from the very beginning they made the whole experience no stress for us. All they needed was what kind of atmosphere we were looking for at the different stages of the day, any specific songs we wanted and they took care of the rest.

This experience continued on the wedding day, Silvio himself checked in with the groom to make sure he was feeling ok and all the ceremony music and audio aspects to the ceremony were perfect!

For the reception, Silvio performed for the 90 minute session and it was so so good! The music performed was absolutely ideal and set the relaxed vibe we were looking for as our guests enjoyed the canapés and drinks!

After dinner the band were outstanding, they created the atmosphere and the interaction they had with the guests was just outstanding.

The transition from the band playing to the dj taking over towards the end of the night was also seamless, they were fast and efficient in moving it inside and the interaction again was amazing!

The Swithas band are true professionals, our guests could not get over how good they were.

We know how stressful selecting the band can be for your big day but we cannot recommend The Swithas Band highly enough!

Michelle & Stephen x

I'm so glad we have found the Swithas Band. Those guys are performing so incredibly well and set such a great mood. They made our wedding extra special! This has also been said by our guests. Thank you again!

We could not have asked for a better band to celebrate with us at our wedding. Thank you Silvio and the band for creating such an amazing atmosphere and everything we could have asked for.
Highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for a band!
Thank you again
Xxx

Super band!! They kept the dance floor full all night and were so obliging in playing requests. So much fun too! They made our wedding really special. Silvio also provided the perfect music for our reception drinks! Highly recommend this band for any wedding or event!

Just wanted to thank the very talented Swithas Band who played for our wedding in august 2022. One of the best decisions we made!! As we couldn't travel during covid to see them, it was only videos we had seen of them playing and I have to say they did not disappoint. They were amazing!! Their interaction was fantastic, everyone was on there feet all night.
Guests are still talking about how brilliant they were
Would highly recommend.
Thank you for an amazing night
Sharon & Damien

We enjoyed every minute of the Swithas Band at our wedding! Every guest both young and old came to us to say how amazing they were :) Nearly one year later and guests are still talking about them! I would fully recommend booking them for your wedding!! Thanks again Silvio and gang for making our day so special ??

Best band around!!

I couldn't recommend this band enough! Silvio agreed to play at our wedding when a different band cancelled at short notice and we couldn't be more grateful. The Switha's band were excellent - all our guests have raved about how good they were and are still talking about them now we are back home! We couldn't be happier that we got to have them on our wedding day, and they truly are the friendliest gents around! The songs they played got everyone up and dancing the whole night and created the best atmosphere! A massive thank you to the Switha's band!

Best band you can book for your wedding!

My husband and I was lucky enough to to book The Switha's band for our wedding in north Portugal and we can not recommend them enough! Silvio was fantastic with communication leading up to the big day and no ask was too big. The band learned a new song for our first dance and even let my mum borrow a guitar for a few songs during the ceremony and dinner. The whole band traveled up to the Douro valley and everyone was super friendly and incredibly talented. We would definitely recommend to book to full wedding package with microphones and speakers for ceremony and dinner speeches as well as live band and DJ. Silvio was such a support on the day making sure everything was running smoothly and have no doubts about their equipment, it is of the highest quality! The party had all our guests up dancing nonstop! A band like the Switha's band will make your wedding one to remember for all of your guests and we can't recommend them enough! Switha's band thank you again, wish you could be at every party I every organise! , Mr & Mrs Chapman

THE BEST!!

We can't recommend these guys enough!!
We booked the swithas band for our whole wedding the ceremony, cocktail reception and our evening reception. They were absolutely amazing and had everyone up dancing!

Outstanding!

Silvio and his band provided the perfect musical accompaniment for our wedding day. From ceremony PA, to drinks/dining playlists, incredible live music and finishing with a DJ set for the ages, Silvio and the team smashed it! We couldn't be more pleased with everything - he was great from enquiry, through booking and preparation for the day; giving us plenty of options, plenty of flexibility and, most importantly, superb communication and giving us absolute confidence in how it would go. On the day they delivered everything promised? and more. I'm aware that I'm repeating myself here, but WHAT.A.BAND! So grateful and couldn't recommend highly enough. Thank you Silvio and the guys for helping to make our special day so perfect!

Amazing Service !!

We had the amazing Silvio Switha play at a recent Surprise birthday event in Albufeira. He played acoustic guitar music at a welcome drink, arranged the music throughout dinner and then DJ'd at the evening party. Silvio was great from initial contact and was always very responsive, answering any queries I had which was very helpful when trying to organize a party in Portugal from the UK! The acoustic music was great with a great playlist to choose from and he also helped with finding Portuguese music to play. He was great at reading the room and changing the music to suit the guests! Overall, we were very pleased with Silvio and would highly recommend for parties/weddings :-)

Wedding

Swithas band were truly sensational. We couldn't recommend the more!! Thank you Silvio and co for everything!

Silvio's talents are endless. We all know how much the music is important at a wedding and these guys rocked it. Silvio has so much experience and it really shows... himself and the band had everybody up dancing. 2 weeks later guests are still talking about them. I would highly recommend them.... and might some day twist their arm to come to a party in Ireland too ;)

My husband and I were lucky enough to have Swithas band play at our wedding; they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish.

We recently went to another wedding and thought the band was incredible, little did we know that Swithas band would completely blow them out of the water. Their song choices were fantastic and suited each stage of our day. Switha sang some beautiful songs at our ceremony, set the mood at the drinks reception and had everyone up and dancing from the first song. I have never seen people hit the dance floor like that but no one could help themselves. Every time I went to get a drink I was disappointed I was missing another great song. All our guests are still talking about how excellent the band were. In addition, they were all incredibly lovely, were willing to learn our first dance song and were wonderfully accommodating. I would recommend them for any event, you won't regret it.

Thank you so much Switha's band!

Top class!!

Hey Silvio and guys,
Just a quick note to thank you again for playing our wedding, we feel so happy/lucky that you could be there with us, nothing was a problem and the music, songs and set up was great, everyone danced the night away, looking forward to catching up next time we are over,
Would highly recommend
Rob&Lisa Wedding, Albufeira

Best wedding band ever!

The Swithas played at our wedding in June and were simply amazing! All throughout the day the music was awesome and everything ran so smoothly - Silvio and the guys put so much work into ensuring that everything is just perfect. Silvio's relaxed acoustic set worked great during welcome drinks and in the evening the band were INCREDIBLE - they are fantastic musicians and sound so tight - we have many photos and videos of guests going crazy on the dance floor! We really wanted a band that were the real deal (and not a gimmicky wedding band) - and the Swithas were certainly that. Thanks SO SO much guys - it was the best decision ever to book you. All the best and hopefully see you at a gig in the future! Chris & Faye x

An amazing wedding band!

Paul and I had our wedding last week and we are still buzzing over the amazing music provided by Silvio and the band. We cannot recommend Silvio and The Switha band highly enough. Our family members provided music at the ceremony and each one have remarked on how kind and helpful Silvio was helping them setup. The acoustic set before dinner was perfect but the best was yet to come. The music during the reception was absolutely brilliant, at one point it looked as though every single guest was on the floor dancing! Silvio's song choices during the live performance and DJ set were nothing short of perfect, so thank you so much Silvio & team, you were the best! Paul & Lisa x

Dear Silvio & band - thank you so much !!! ????????
we've had our wedding last week and the music was great! Silvio touches everyone with his sensitive voice while the ceremony , brought ?the soul? on the cocktail reception and rocked the house @ the disco with the band and as dj while the party after dinner! It's was the best choice to pick the swithas band - you've done a perfect job ???? !
beside of this silvio and the band are very nice and kind -and try to make every wish for special songs come true!

if you want to get married in portugal - you really do best choice with THE SWITHAS BAND !

Myself and my now wife Gemma chose Silvio & the band to play our wedding in Portugal on 9th October 2017 - and they were truly awesome.
Silvio has a beautiful voice and did some stunning acoustic covers for our welcome drinks.
The full evening band were incredible, playing through songs we had requested. The wedding party got a bit rowdy (as you do), and Silvio obliged in playing some proper rock n roll covers for the guests to get out the air guitars, including a head banging rendition of Rage against the machine.
We loved it, the guests loved it, and I can't recommend them highly enough!
Cheers guys :) xxx

Myself and my new husband Jay had the pleasure of having Silvio and his band preforming at our wedding, from the ceremony to the final song he had creatated an atmosphere of pure love and happiness to upbeat,lively, not able to sit down because every song was so brilliant, you could not resist getting up to dance.
Silvio was very professional to make a booking with and replied promptly to every email and query, he met all our special requests for on the day,
Silvio thanks so much for playing such a huge part in our special day and making it one we will never forget.

Silvio and the The Swithas band did our wedding in June 2017, and were absolutely amazing! Silvio sang at our reception and ceremony and also DJ?d until the small hours! Would recommend Silvio to anybody as he is the best in the business down in Vilamoura or on the Algarve. Totally cool dude, super relatable and so talented! Obrigado Silvio!
Alex & Laura

I challenge anyone who is unsure if they should hire the Switha's to try find a reason NOT to, after they have heard or seen them! They are an amazing band and true entertainers (not just talented musicians). Two years on from my wedding and the guests are still talking about how good Silvio and crew were.

Silvio and his band did an amazing job not only singing for the ceremony but for cocktails and then upping the tempo for a great evenings entertainment. Everyone at the wedding loved them and when we come back to Portugal we have to go and see them as they are always such good entertainment and so much fun.

The best decision we made to have the pleasure of Silvio and his band from the very start at the chapel right up to early hours of the morning.
Amazing photos and videos and really made our wedding magical and memorable .Guests still talk about our amazing wedding band whenever our wedding gets mentioned. Faultless entertainers amazing talent and all so lovely .will come see you all again at a gig next year I'm sure ! Lots love xx
