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

Me and my daughter and all of my 110 guests had a fantastic evening with a great band and genuine, calm, approachable and respectful group. The music is perfect as expected for the nature of my occasion. Highly recommended to the Lakes District for Kendal Music Festival, Kendal Calling Festival and in the lakeside. Over all it was a great success of my 60th birthday. Villamie

Cherry Valentine and the Bees Knees are absolutely amazingly talented. We absolutely loved them at our wedding reception. Our guests say it was the best wedding they have ever been to. I am sooo glad that we couldn't have a dj and dance floor. We had the best time ever and I couldn't thank them enough. Book now!! You won't be disappointed. They will have you on your feet even if you don't dance! Thank you so much ❤️

The Ultimate Guide to Your UK Wedding's Soundtrack

Let’s get one thing straight. A wedding reception with a live band is just better. It’s a fact. It’s the difference between your guests politely tapping their feet and your guests creating a full-on, hands-in-the-air, tie-around-the-head dance floor. A great band creates a focal point, an atmosphere, and a set of memories that will stick with you and your guests forever.

Across the UK, from village halls to stately homes, a live band is the universal ingredient for a brilliant party. They can read the room, interact with your loved ones, and create a unique energy that a playlist simply can’t replicate. It’s the best investment you’ll make in the ‘fun’ part of your wedding day.

The Great British Wedding Venue: A Guide to Rural Celebrations

Many couples in the UK dream of a wedding away from the hustle and bustle, in a beautiful countryside setting. These venues are stunning but come with their own unique considerations when it comes to hiring a band.

The Charm of the Rural Barn

Barn weddings have become incredibly popular, and it’s easy to see why. They’re the perfect setting for a rustic, nature-inspired, or DIY wedding theme, offering a relaxed atmosphere and a beautiful, textured backdrop.

  • The Vibe: The rustic charm of a barn is the perfect match for a folk or acoustic-style band. Think Mumford & Sons festival vibes, with upright bass, banjo, and soaring harmonies. An indie-rock band or a fun rockabilly act also works brilliantly, adding a cool edge to the countryside setting.
  • The Acoustics: Barns can have tricky acoustics with their high ceilings and wooden beams. An experienced professional band will know how to do a proper soundcheck to make sure their music sounds fantastic and not just a loud echo.
  • The Practicalities: Barns, especially older ones, weren’t built for rock concerts. You need to check where the power sockets are and how many there are. A band needs multiple outlets for their PA system, amps, and lighting, so this is a crucial detail.

The Magic of a Marquee Setup

A marquee wedding is the ultimate blank canvas. You can put it anywhere, from your parents' back garden to a field with a stunning view, and decorate it exactly how you want. It’s the pinnacle of a DIY wedding.

  • The Logistics: This is the big one. With a marquee, you are often responsible for providing everything. This includes a stable, level power supply, which usually means hiring a generator. You absolutely must hire a generator that is suitable for sensitive audio equipment. Your band can advise on the power rating they need.

Frequently asked questions

What is a wedding music band?
A wedding music band is a band (composed of a singer/singers and instrumentalists) which you can hire to provide live musical entertainment on your wedding day! Hiring a wedding music band will add a memorable and melodic element to your day, allowing your guests to relax and soak up some ambience between the wedding ceremony and wedding meal, or as part of the evening dancing and revelry. Explore all the different genres of bands available on Poptop’s function band page.
How much does a wedding band cost in the UK?
Depending on the location and duration of the performance, the cost of hiring a wedding band in the UK ranges between £99 and £675, with an average cost of approximately £324.

  • The Stage: A band cannot set up on grass. It’s unsafe and their equipment could get damaged. You will need to hire a proper, solid, and level stage for them to perform on. You’ll also need a designated dance floor for your guests.
  • The Self-Containment: When booking a band for a marquee wedding, you need a group that is fully self-contained. This means they bring their own high-quality PA system and lighting rig, as there won’t be any in-house equipment to use.
  • The Splendour of a Countryside Estate

    For a more traditional wedding, a beautiful countryside estate or stately home is a timeless choice. These venues offer elegance, grandeur, and impeccable service.

    • The Vibe: The sophistication of a country estate calls for a band to match. A classic pop and soul band is a perfect choice, able to provide smooth dinner music and then ramp it up with dance-floor fillers. A stylish jazz or swing band also works beautifully in these grand settings.
    • The Rules: Stately homes are often listed buildings with neighbours to consider, which means they usually have sound limiters. This is a device that monitors volume and can cut the power if it gets too loud. Don't see this as a problem! Professional wedding bands are experts at working with them and can deliver a fantastic performance while staying within the limits.
    • The Coordinator: Most estates will have a dedicated wedding coordinator. They are your best friend. Introduce your band (via email) to the coordinator early on so they can sort out all the logistical details like arrival times, parking, and setup locations directly.

    How Much Does a UK Wedding Band Cost?

    Let’s talk numbers. The cost of a wedding band can vary quite a bit across the UK, but a good benchmark for a professional act is between £800 and £2,000+.

    A Nationwide Price Guide

    • Band Size and Lineup: The price is mostly dictated by the number of musicians. A solo or duo act will be at the lower end of the scale, perfect for a drinks reception or a smaller, more intimate wedding. A 4 or 5-piece band is the most common lineup for an evening reception and will sit in the mid-to-high end of the benchmark.
    • Location: Prices can vary depending on where you are in the country. A band based in London or the South East might have higher prices than a band in the North of England or Wales, simply due to different living and travel costs.
    • Travel: Most bands will include travel within a certain radius (e.g., 50 miles) in their standard fee. If you’re hiring a band from further afield, expect to pay an additional fee for their travel time and fuel. If they are travelling a very long way, you may also need to provide simple accommodation for them.
