The Swithas Band - Portugal

The Swithas are an incredible wedding band. Even though they are based in Portugal, Silvio and the band travelled to Spain for our wedding. We booked the full wedding day package and they were incredible. Our friends and family are still talking about them. The dancefloor was never empty the whole night long. We could not have chosen a better band! Thank you ❤️

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!!

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 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!!

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 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!

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!

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!

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.,

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!

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

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

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!

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!

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 :-)

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 ;)

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

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

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

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!

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.
