Looking for a brass band in London for a wedding, corporate reception, brand activation, parade, or street party? You’re in the right place. We’ve helped thousands of events find their perfect soundtrack, and in the capital there’s nothing quite like the blast of trumpets and thump of sousaphone to get people moving. In this guide, we walk through styles, venues, budgets, planning tips, and how to brief your band so the whole thing runs like clockwork.
London events often need energy without fuss. Brass bands deliver exactly that. They’re mobile, quick to set up, and as happy in a town hall as they are weaving through a plaza. With the right line-up, you’ll cover ceremony music, roaming reception entertainment, and a full dance set without changing a single bit of kit. For brand activations and parades, they’re a walking billboard for joy. For summer parties or Christmas markets, they cut through crowd noise and create a shared moment that feels spontaneous and premium at the same time.
Most London brass bands arrive as a 5 to 8 piece. Common line-ups include trumpet, trombone, sax, sousaphone or bass, and percussion. Some add a vocalist or extra horns for thicker harmonies. You’ll typically get:
If you need ceremony music, ask for a stripped-back duo or trio from the same band to keep the sound world consistent through the day.
For most London events, expect £900 to £1,800 for a professional brass band. The range depends on:
We display instant, all-inclusive pricing so you can compare options quickly. You’ll see what’s included at a glance, with clear upgrades if you want more oomph.
Many brass sets in London run acoustic or with minimal amplification. That means quick changeovers, fewer cables, and a cleaner look in photos. For larger rooms or dance sets, the band may bring a compact PA for a kick drum mic or vocals. We’ll confirm power points, stage size, and any cable runs, then shape the plan to suit your venue.
Noise management matters in the city. We’ll liaise on any venue or local requirements, advise on set length to reduce fatigue in reverberant rooms, and help you choose the right corners of a space for natural warmth without boom.
If there are must-play tunes, we’ll share them early with the band. Many groups can arrange a special song for a first dance or brand motif with reasonable notice.
Give context, not just titles. Share your event goal, guest profile, and the moment you need to nail. Tell us if you want high-energy roaming at the start or a grand entrance later. Mention any restrictions in the space, like limited lift access or no drums in a certain gallery. Add a simple running order and point of contact for the band on arrival. Those small details mean the horns hit first note, on time, exactly where you want them.
London weather doesn’t always read the plan. For outdoors, have a simple cover option and a warm inside corner as a fallback. Brass can play in chilly conditions, but valves and fingers like breaks, so we’ll structure shorter sets with warming gaps if needed. For Christmas markets and winter terraces, hot drinks backstage are small heroes. We’ll make sure the running order keeps players and guests comfortable.
Roaming brass thrives on interaction. Consider a short call-and-response moment, a parade loop around the venue, or a dance-off during the final tune. For corporate and brand events, build in a three-minute burst aligned with a speech or reveal. For weddings, plan a horn-led entrance to the wedding breakfast or a mini parade to the dance floor to start the evening set with a bang.
Tell us your date, guest count, postcode, and the vibe you’re aiming for. We’ll show you available brass bands in London with instant, all-inclusive prices from around £900 to £1,800, plus clear options if you want extra horns, a vocalist, or a parade lead. We’ll help you shape the route, tune the setlist, and plan the logistics so you can focus on enjoying the moment.
