Booking A Wedding Band in Newcastle

What You Need To Know

For an occasion as important as your wedding day, we know that choosing the right band might feel overwhelming. Our guide to booking a wedding band answers all of the common questions you might have - and if you require further advice, we’re more than happy to help.

Newcastle is home to a wide range of musicians, including folk-rockers Lindisfarne, Dire Straits founders David Knopfler and Mark Knopfler OBE and Lighthouse Family – the aficionados of easy-listening. Music producer Riton hails from here, along with award winning saxophonist John Harle, alternative pop and indie bands Sharks Took the Rest and Lanterns On The Lake, plus Cheryl of Girls Aloud fame.

Newcastle hosts musicians and bands across the city in a range of venues, large and small. These include former picture house the O2 Academy, live music bar The Cluny, and the Theatre Royal & City Hall. It also holds a wide range of festivals every year – from the This is Tomorrow Festival, to SummerTyne American roots music festival, and Northern Chords across the region.

The cost of wedding bands varies, depending on the line-up, and the options each band offers. In the last 12 months, the average price of a wedding band in Newcastle was £1,800 including travel costs.

The table below shows the range of fees for different types of wedding bands:

Type of Artist	Cost Range
Rock and Pop wedding party bands	£750 - £3000 (3-piece) £800 - £4000 (4-piece) £1100 - £5000 (5-piece) £1400 - £27000 (6-piece or bigger)

However, you don’t need to limit your search to just local bands – your perfect band maybe willing to travel at nominal cost!
