Will they accommodate my first dance & other song requests?

Certainly! Most wedding bands in Cheshire are willing to learn your chosen first dance or special song upon request, although there may be an additional fee for this service. If, for any reason, they're unable to accommodate your specific request, they can provide a laptop or playlist for you to play the original recording of your first dance through their PA system. Check their profile for a comprehensive list of their repertoire.

How long will their performance last?

Expect 2 x 60-minute sets as standard, although many bands are capable of playing for longer if needed. Additionally, they often offer to keep the music going between sets by providing a playlist through their PA system, ensuring uninterrupted music throughout your event. Standard pricing is based on a midnight conclusion, but arrangements can be made for a later finish at an additional cost.

Many wedding bands also provide supplementary acoustic sets and background music options, perfect for your drinks reception and wedding breakfast.
