the Oaklands
Hailing from the idyllic landscapes of Suffolk, The Oaklands is an enchanting musical ensemble that has been weaving soulful melodies for five remarkable years. With their heartwarming performances, distinctive acoustic sound, and a genuine passion for music, The Oaklands have become cherished wedding entertainers. Curtis's soulful singing and rhythm guitar playing is backed beautifully by his band mates Joe, Billy & Michael who add harmonies, lead guitar, double bass and cajon playing to create this acoustic ensemble. The Oaklands take pride in playing music to enchant local gatherings, weddings, and community events, and their roots now reach far beyond Suffolk's borders. With every performance, they nurture the roots of their sound while allowing their melodies to branch out, embracing new horizons and hearts. The Oaklands' music, like the ancient oak tree that symbolizes strength and longevity, stands tall and proud, leaving an enduring legacy of love, unity, and the power of harmonious melodies.

Reviews
“The Oaklands played at our wedding last night and were amazing! As well as all being really lovely people, they were so talented and made sure the dance floor was full and that everyone had a fantastic time. We were so impressed and will be recommending them to anyone looking for a band. Thank you so much!"

“We had The Oaklands at our wedding last month, and since then, everyone has been complimenting us on the choice! They were happy to take requests to add to their sets (made my mom extremely happy with that) and learned our first dance song just a few weeks before and played it so well! We're so happy to have them and hope to catch some of their performances in the future! <3 Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great band that'll get people up, dancing, and singing along."

“You guys really brought a different atmosphere to the wedding last night and it was so beautiful! Really enjoyed that you sang unusual songs that aren’t usually performed either! Would totally recommend you guys!”

"We had a great experience from start to finish.
Tracy was super helpful and handled all our questions and requests with ease.
We went ahead with a trio from The Oaklands and they were great! After the party, many of our guests kept mentioning how amazing the band was so we were all super impressed!
Curtis, the band leader was a great guy and not only learned our first dance song but also allowed my husband to sing his favourite song with them so that was truly appreciated.
Could not have asked for anyone better- thank you!"
