What’s Included When You Hire a Wedding Band?

PA and lighting are included, and many bands can perform your first dance live or add a DJ service if you want the party to carry on later. Most evening packages give you around two hours of live performance, commonly split into two hour-long sets, with music continuing between performances so the atmosphere never has to disappear. Set lists include rock, pop, indie, soul, Motown and funk, with familiar favourites giving different generations something to recognise while your own preferences help shape the night. Many bands can also offer acoustic or jazz sets for your ceremony or afternoon drinks reception, so look out for all-day wedding packages on artist profiles.

Wokefield Park, Ufton Court and Stanlake Park Wine Estate are just a few of the local wedding venues we’ve worked with over the years, and behind the brilliant live music is the reassurance of a secure contract and a team that’s been arranging wedding entertainment since 1999.

Hear something you love? Add your wedding date and location, shortlist your favourite bands and let us know who’s caught your attention. We’ll check everything with the band and come back to you with a confirmed quotation and the details you need to book. The sooner you start looking, the more choice you’re likely to have; for popular summer Saturdays, we recommend booking around 12–18 months ahead.
