Manchester Wedding Bands for Hire

Hire the Best Wedding Music Bands in Manchester.

When the lights go down, it’s time to party with our incredible Manchester wedding bands. We’ve done the searching before you start yours, hand-picking experienced bands and musicians with the sound and style to make your wedding party shine. From funky disco and soul to indie-inspired rock and pop, and music from every decade in between, you’ll find brilliant live bands that bring everyone together. Read more

Live Wedding Music Your Guests Will Love

Getting married in a city that gave us Oasis, The Stone Roses and The Smiths? You could say a great guitar band comes with the territory. For big choruses, indie anthems and a packed dance floor, put 4-piece bands like Drive, Front Runners and Hipster high on your shortlist. Expect guitar-driven rock and pop hits from across the decades - ideal for guests of all ages.

For a funkier dance orientated sound, bands like The Silks, The Vibe Sound and Prime Party are a great option, especially if you want something with more groove and visual impact than a traditional guitar band. With keys, sax and additional singers, they mix indie and pop favourites with funk and dance-floor classics for a sound that’s made for a party. Or follow the city’s Northern Soul heritage with our soul and Motown bands like Academy of Soul - think powerhouse vocals, irresistible grooves and classics made for dancing.

Big industrial spaces like Victoria Warehouse give you the scope to go bigger with the band, so this is where we’d look at showbands and 6-10 piece acts like BrassWerk Orchestra and Dynamo and the Horns.

Find the right bands for weddings in Manchester

Since 1999, we’ve booked bands for over 1500 weddings across the Greater Manchester area, including Manchester, Altrincham and Stockport. Our experienced team works regularly with local venues like The Midland Hotel, Victoria Warehouse and Manchester Hall - and so we’re happy to suggest trusted bands to best suit your space.

Many bands can cover more than the evening too, with acoustic or jazz sets for your ceremony or drinks reception before the full line-up takes over later. Most evening packages include around two hours of live music, PA and lighting, plus playlists between sets, while DJ services and additional musicians give you plenty of scope to build a bigger package around your day.

Our Manchester couples currently book their wedding bands around 7 months ahead on average. However, if you’re planning a summer Saturday we’d recommend starting 12–18 months ahead to ensure you have the best choice. The average price of wedding bands in Manchester is currently £1,764, but we will work with your budget to help you find a brilliant band. Book through us and you’ll have everything confirmed by secure contract, with personal support from our team throughout the journey.

Your next step is simple: search your wedding date to find available bands, and once you’ve got a few favourites, send us an enquiry and we’ll confirm availability, pricing and the booking details for you.
