Our Guide To Booking A Wedding Band In London

FAQs and helpful tips

Choosing the right wedding band can feel like a huge decision - especially with so many great options available in London. Our FAQs cover common concerns, and for even more expert advice, check out our Complete Guide to Booking a Wedding Band.

As of 2025, the typical price to hire a London wedding band was £1711. However, the cost of a band may change based on factors such as the number of musicians in the band, travel expenses, and their level of demand.

Our range of wedding bands in London start at £327 for a duo, extending to £25365 for a top-tier luxury wedding band. Additionally, the price of a band may differ depending on the season, with peak summer months commanding higher fees compared to off-peak winter weddings.

Please click here for more detailed information on wedding band pricing.

As well as their performance fee, a professional wedding band will provide all of the equipment necessary to ensure your wedding music goes off without a hitch, including a PA system and stage lighting. Upon receiving your enquiry, we will provide you with a confirmed quote from your selected artists, tailored to your specific needs. This quote encompasses all expenses, including travel, and costs specific to the city of London such as the congestion charge, LEZ and ULEZ.

Our online prices are structured based on a standard arrival time of 6 pm, concluding at midnight, with two 60-minute performances. This arrangement is typical for an evening wedding party. However, many bands also offer extended options such as afternoon acoustic sets and jazz sets, which you can choose to include during your drinks reception or wedding breakfast.

Read our helpful guide with tips for how to save money on your wedding band.

The best bands will get booked 18 months in advance, so to ensure a wide array of options, we recommend securing your booking as early as feasible, particularly if your wedding is scheduled for a popular summer Saturday. If you're looking to hire a live band on a Saturday between May and September, you would do well do book between January and May the year prior.

Wedding bands perform a huge array of songs, from chart-topping hits of the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s through to contemporary party hits from the present day. Every band plays songs that your wedding guests will know and love.

Explore each band's repertoire by visiting their profile page.

For a band with a difference, you might also like to look at our festival-style wedding bands, acoustic bands and Mumford and Sons folk bands, or a Soul Motown band or a jazz band.

A Rock and Pop Wedding Party Band
Frequently chosen as the primary evening entertainment for weddings, rock and pop party bands deliver a vibrant and dynamic performance, ideal for filling your dance floor during the evening reception. These bands typically perform a mix of classic and contemporary rock and pop tunes, spanning from the 1950s to the latest chart hits! View our London Function bands here

Wedding Ceilidh Bands
A traditional ceilidh band, including a 'caller' to help your wedding guests with the dance moves, makes for fun packed live wedding entertainment. If you're throwing a rustic barn wedding, or if you've got Scottish / Irish family members, these are a great choice.
Upbeat Jazz
It's become quite popular to book bands who play modern rock and pop songs with a vintage Jazz twist. These bands are quieter and more sophisticated than regular pop and rock function bands, but they'll still good for dancing. Also see our classic toe-tapping jazz music bands to add a smooth, romantic vibe to your wedding celebrations. Jazz bands can be instrumental or with a singer.
Dixieland
Perfect for a sunny summer outdoor wedding reception, these traditional New Orleans style jazz bands play Charleston music, mixing clarinet, trumpet, trombone, tube and banjo with a drummer. They're often able to wander amongst guests, and the sound of their music is both joyous and infectious.
Rat Pack and Swing Bands
For a retro-cool vintage wedding theme, a solo Rat Pack singer or swing band would make a perfect choice. Covering classic Rat Pack era songs by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Junior, as well as hits by Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, and Glenn Miller - they're ideal for guests of all ages. Why not check out a full big band swing orchestra?

Yes - most bands are happy to learn your first dance or a special request, although they sometimes charge a small fee to cover this. Also check out our "50 First Dance Song Ideas" blog for inspiration.

When you book band for a wedding, they'll typically play two sets lasting one hour each, although many are willing to extend their performance times if needed. Many of our London Wedding bands are adaptable and will work to accommodate the requirements of your drinks reception or wedding party.

The standard pricing assumes a conclusion at midnight, but arrangements for a later finish can be made for an additional fee.

Our bands offer a customisable playlist of background music to play between and after their sets, tailored to your musical preferences. This can serve as a suitable filler during breaks in the band's live performances and will be broadcast through their PA system, complemented by the band's stage lighting illuminating the dancefloor. You may decide this is enough for what you need.

Many bands also provide a DJ service where a band member actively takes requests and mixes tunes, emulating a traditional DJ. This service is generally more cost-effective than hiring a standalone DJ.

If you want a DJ to entertain your guests into the early hours post-band performance, then a separate wedding DJ may be worthwhile.

It typically takes around 90 minutes for a band to set up and sound check. The band would usually arrive at your venue at 6 pm to get their equipment loaded-in, and it then takes approx. 60 minutes to complete a sound check. The sound check is an important step to get the band sounding as good as possible, ensuring the best wedding entertainment for you.

For an approximate space guide please see below:

A trio / 3-piece band would require 3 x 3 metres
A 4-piece band would need 4 x 3 metres
A 5-6 piece band may need approx. 5 x 3 metres
A 7 piece band or bigger would need 6 x 4 metres (or more)

Additionally, they will need:

two double plug sockets close to the performance area.
if possible, a secure dressing room where they can leave their valuables
a hot meal / buffet and refreshments (tea / coffee / soft drinks)

Usually yes - but make sure you provide shelter in case of bad weather.

If you hire a wedding band to play outdoors, please note:

Their equipment must not get wet
When calculating how big cover needs to be, make it at least one meter bigger all the way around, than the space they need to performing in
Please ensure there is cover on the sides to prevent rain from blowing onto their equipment
If they set up without cover then need to move because it rains, this will result in a big delay
