WEDDING BAND BOOKING GUIDE

1How much do wedding bands cost?

The average price for local wedding bands is:

- 3 piece: £1,000+
- 4-5 piece: £1,400+
- 6+ piece: £1,600+

The 9 piece band pricing starts at £1,750 (without travel costs) and represents amazing value for the quality of musician, performance and everything included. Of course there is no agency fee booking direct, which is 20% average in the industry.

When booking wedding bands there are a number of factors that go into providing pricing including musician numbers, travel costs, time of year which effects pricing in terms of supply and demand and finally the amount of time needed to get to the venue and back plus waiting times.

2What does your pricing include when booking you?

We come fully self-contained with PA system, lighting (for on stage), music playlists for in-between before and slightly after sets and the below:

- Setup and soundcheck from 6pm
- 2 x 60 minute sets, or 1 x 90 minute set, 3 x 40 minute sets available on request
- DJ playlists before, in-between and after sets
- PA System
- Lighting (on stage)
- Public Liability Insurance
- PAT tested equipment

3What type of music do wedding bands play?
We carefully thread music genres from Pop, Soul/Motown, R&B and Funk to play music from the 50's through to the modern day ensuring there is something for everyone for your wedding. We are constantly adding to our repertoire which can be view here.
4How many musicians are in the wedding band?

Weare a 9 piece group consisting of:

Drums, Bass, Guitar, Keys, 2 x Vocals, Sax, Trombone & Trumpet

5Does the band need us to provide any equipment?

No, we will provide everything.

All we ask for is a sheltered, flat surface to perform on with a space approximately 6m width x 3.5m depth and 2 x standard domestic plug sockets.

If you are having a large event of 200+ guests please get in touch as we may have to use our larger PA system to ensure it is powerful enough.

6Can you play our First Dance Song?
As long as decent time permits and we have enough availability for rehearsal time we'll always gladly look at playing your First Dance. However if for any reason we don't feel we will do the song the justice it requires we will always be able to play it though our PA system.
7What time does the band usually arrive to set up?
Our quotes are based on a usual arrival time of 6pm. If we are setting up in a room separate to the meal and speeches we will be able to setup right away, however if it is in the same room we will have to wait until the space is made and wait until meal and speeches are finished to avoid any interruptions.
8What time do you start playing?
We're happy to work with you on this. The usual protocol is for the group to start no earlier than 8.30pm/9.00pm in order for the band to not peak too early on your big night.
9How long does the wedding band take to setup?
We usually like to have a minimum of 1 and a half hours in order to setup and soundcheck. This gives us plenty of time to make sure everything is right and deal with any potential unforeseen issues.

PACKAGE ADDONS WE OFFER

Every wedding is unique, and so is the music. Alongside our renowned 9-piece band, we offer a roaming brass band to bring the party straight to your guests, singer and guitarist and even our own manned DJ booth to keep the celebrations flowing.
