James and his band made my60th party complete - i love live music and really wanted a live band to dance to.
He has a great choice of songs and also learnt an additional Marillion song for me as I'm a big fan and my friends and i really enjoyed singing along to it.
He also communicated well during the booking period.
I had lots of people comment after that they really enjoyed it.
Thanks again for a fab night

Why a Live Band is a Game Changer for Your London Wedding
First things first, let's talk about why you’re making such a brilliant decision. You could just stick on a playlist, right? Sure. You could also serve your guests crisps and call it catering. But you’re not going to do that, because you want your wedding to be special.
A live wedding band brings an energy that a playlist simply can't replicate. It’s about the connection. The way a great lead singer catches your aunt’s eye and gets her on the dance floor, the thumping bass you feel in your chest, the shared moment when the band launches into a classic and the entire room sings along. That’s the magic.
In a city as vibrant and diverse as London, your entertainment needs to match. Whether you're celebrating in a historic venue in Greenwich, a chic luxury hotel in Kensington, or on a stunning rooftop terrace overlooking the Thames, a live band provides a focal point and a pulsating heart for your reception. It turns a beautiful space into a living, breathing celebration. It’s pure, unadulterated fun, and your guests will be talking about it for years.
Nailing Down the Basics: What to Figure Out First
Before you dive headfirst into watching showreels (the fun part!), let's get a few ducks in a row. A little bit of prep now will make the whole process of finding the perfect wedding band in London an absolute breeze.
Your Venue, Your Vibe
London is blessed with some of the world's most incredible wedding venues. Are you going for modern chic in a minimalist gallery space? Tying the knot in a grand, historic ballroom with ceilings that go on for days? Or maybe it’s a more multicultural affair in a vibrant, contemporary setting.
Your venue has a huge say in the type of band you can hire. Here’s what to consider:
Space: A 10 piece soul band with a brass section is going to sound phenomenal, but they’ll need a bit of elbow room. If you’re in a more intimate space, a stylish 3 or 4 piece pop and rock band might be a better fit. Be realistic about the stage area you have.
Sound Limiters: Ah, the dreaded sound limiter. Many London venues, especially historic ones or those in residential areas, have these little boxes installed. They monitor the volume and can cut the power if things get too loud. It's not a dealbreaker! Experienced professional bands know exactly how to work with them, often using electronic drum kits and managing their sound levels perfectly. Just make sure you ask your venue about it and let any potential bands know from the start.
Logistics: Think about access. Can a van pull up easily to unload heavy equipment? Are there stairs? Lifts? These are the less glamorous questions, but ones your band will need answers to.

Budgeting for Your Band: What's the Going Rate in London?
Right, let's talk money. It’s not the most romantic topic, but it’s essential. For a professional, high quality wedding band in London, you should be looking at a benchmark of around £1,500 to £3,000, and often more for larger or highly in demand groups.
So, what affects the price?
Number of Musicians: This is the biggest factor. A solo artist or duo will naturally cost less than a 7 piece funk band. More people means more talent to pay.
The Date: A Saturday wedding in August is peak season, so prices will reflect that. If you’re getting married on a Tuesday in November, you might find bands have more flexibility.
Experience and Demand: A band that’s been playing top tier London events for a decade and has a packed schedule will command a higher fee than a newer group. You're paying for their expertise, reliability, and polished performance.
Travel: While you're searching for a wedding band in London, some might be based just outside the M25. Most professional bands include travel within a certain radius, but it's always something to clarify.
With Poptop, you don't have to guess. One of the best things is that we provide instant, all inclusive pricing. You put in your details, and boom, you see the actual cost right there. It means you can plan your party in minutes, not days, without the tedious back and forth of waiting for quotes. It’s a real game changer for keeping your planning on track and stress free.
What's Your Flavour? Defining Your Musical Taste
This is where your personality comes in. Your wedding music should be a reflection of you as a couple. Don't just pick what you think you should have. Think about the songs that define your relationship. The music you put on when you’re getting ready for a night out, the tunes that make you both turn up the car radio.
Modern & Chic: A slick pop and rock band playing current chart hits alongside 90s and 00s classics is always a winner. They have a broad appeal that gets everyone from your mates to your grandparents tapping their feet.
Luxury & Timeless: Perhaps a sophisticated jazz or swing band is more your style, perfect for a black tie affair in a grand hotel. They can provide cool, laid back dinner music and then ramp it up for dancing later on.
Multicultural & Vibrant: London’s amazing diversity means you can find incredible bands that specialise in specific genres. Looking for a high energy Afrobeats band? A stylish Bollywood group? A Latin band that will have everyone attempting to salsa? They’re all out there.
The All Rounders: Many of the best wedding bands are masters of versatility. They can play a bit of Motown, followed by an indie rock anthem, and finish with a pop banger. This is a great option if you have a wide mix of ages and musical tastes among your guests.
The Hunt Begins: Finding the Perfect Wedding Band in London
Okay, you know your budget, you’ve considered your venue, and you have an idea of the vibe you’re after. Now for the exciting bit, finding 'the one'.
Where to Look (The Smart Way)
You could spend hours falling down an internet search rabbit hole, clicking through endless individual websites, and sending off enquiry forms into the void. Or, you could do it the easy way.
Honestly, this is why a platform like Poptop exists. We’ve done the hard work for you. You don’t need to be an event planning guru to use it. All it takes is your event date, your guest count, and a postcode to instantly see a whole range of perfectly matched bands ready for your London wedding. It's about finding what you need effortlessly.
We bring all your event needs together in a single marketplace. So while you’re booking that amazing band, you might also spot the perfect photo booth or a brilliant mobile cocktail bar. It saves you so much time and effort, letting you discover everything in one convenient place.
Diving into Band Profiles: What to Look For
Once you have a shortlist, it's time to do a little detective work. A band’s profile is their shop window, and a good one will tell you everything you need to know.
Song Lists: Check out their repertoire. Does it align with your tastes? A good list will show variety and give you a feel for their style. Don’t worry if your favourite song isn’t on there; we’ll get to that later.
Promo Videos: This is non negotiable. You must watch videos of the band performing. Photos are great, but video shows you their energy, their stage presence, and how they sound live. Look for high quality videos, preferably from a real wedding or event, not just a posed studio session. This is the closest you'll get to seeing them live before you book.
Audio Clips: If they have professional audio recordings, have a listen. Close your eyes and imagine them playing at your wedding. Does it give you goosebumps? That’s a good sign.
Real Reviews: Don’t just rely on the glowing testimonials they’ve put on their own site. On Poptop, we have verified reviews from real couples. See what other people who were in your exact position have to say. Their feedback is invaluable.
Let's Talk Logistics: The Nitty Gritty Questions
You've found a band that looks and sounds amazing. You're ready to reach out. Now is the time to get into the details. A professional band will have clear answers to all of these questions. This part of the process is all about making sure you can relax and plan without the anxiety. Clear communication is everything, and knowing exactly what's happening and when means you can feel confident and just look forward to the day.
The Setlist: Your Night, Your Music
While you’ve chosen a band for their style, you still want the music to feel personal. Ask them how flexible they are with the setlist. Most bands are happy to work with you. You could perhaps pick a few 'must plays' and a few 'please don't plays' from their repertoire. This is a prime example of getting an event that is uniquely yours. Our suppliers are brilliant at tailoring their services, building a playlist around your favourite songs to ensure the final result is a personal experience that perfectly matches your vision.
All the Gear and a Good Idea: What's Included?
You need to know exactly what you’re paying for. Does the quote include a full PA system (speakers) and stage lighting? For almost all professional bands, the answer is yes, but it’s crucial to confirm. A good lighting setup can transform a dance floor.
The Timeline: From Setup to Last Song
Talk through the schedule for the day. A typical wedding booking might include 2 hours of live music, split into two 60 minute or three 40 minute sets.
When will they arrive to set up and soundcheck? (Usually 60 to 90 minutes before they are due to start).
What time will they start their first set?
How long are the breaks in between sets?
What time is the finish? (Often midnight, but can be extended for a fee).
What About the Breaks? Keeping the Party Going
The band will need breaks. What happens then? You don't want the energy to die. Most bands offer a playlist service (often called a 'DJ service') as part of their package, playing music through their PA system before, between, and after their live sets to keep the atmosphere buzzing. Some will let you provide your own playlist on a phone or laptop to plug in.
First Dance Fever: Can They Learn Your Song?
This is a big one. Having your first dance performed live by your band is an incredibly special moment. The vast majority of bands are more than happy to learn one special request, like your first dance song, provided you give them enough notice. Make sure you ask about this. It’s one of those personal touches that makes the day uniquely yours.
Making it Official: The Poptop Way to Book Your Band
So, you’ve asked the questions, you’re happy with the answers, and you’re ready to book. This should be the easiest part of all. At Poptop, we’ve designed the process to be completely secure and straightforward.

How long is the performance?
The lengths of performance vary between bands. By clicking on the service information for individual bands, you will be able to see specific performance time options and lengths. Usually, sets can be 1 hour long, 90 minutes long or 2 hours long. There are also options to break sets into chunks; for example, two 45-minute segments with a 15-minute break. You will be able to check and select the duration of the performance when you click on your chosen band’s service description. Via the Poptop messaging tab, you will be able to contact your band to discuss any special requests and requirements you may have with regards to the performance length; they will want your wedding day music to be perfect too.
Can I see a setlist before hiring a wedding music band?
In short: of course you can! Each band’s service description contains a sample setlist, which you will be able to discuss directly with them. Some bands offer the wedding dance song for free. You will be able to make requests for certain special songs, and discuss the creation of a more individualised, bespoke playlist, when you contact your preferred band through Poptop’s messaging function. Enjoy exploring what setlist you can create with your band.
