Live wedding bands bring an energy to evening receptions that playlists cannot match. Professional groups are experienced at working with venues, managing sound levels for different room sizes, and keeping guests of all ages dancing. Most acts perform two or three sets of around 45 minutes, with DJ music filling the breaks, and offer extras like acoustic ceremony performances or learning your first dance song.
Start by matching band size to your venue. Duos and trios suit smaller or more intimate spaces, while four to six-piece lineups fill larger reception rooms with a fuller sound. Check demo videos to make sure the band's energy and style match the atmosphere you want. It is also worth asking about the full package: most professional acts include PA equipment, lighting, and MC services as standard, but ceremony music, extended sets, and additional musicians may be priced separately. Bands based near your venue often offer more competitive rates due to lower travel costs.
For wedding bands in the United Kingdom, fees run from £170 to £2,100+, with an average cost of £700. Band size is the biggest factor in pricing, followed by performance duration and time of year. Peak season dates from late spring through early autumn tend to carry higher rates, while midweek or off-season bookings can stretch your budget further. Ask about package deals if you want ceremony music or a late-night DJ set alongside the main performance.
The average price is £700 (GBP), with most priced from £170 to £2,100+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

The Skankings
"Fantastic. 👌
Great tunes, played by truly great musicians who really enjoy what they’re doing.
Got everybody dancing and kept them on the dance floor. Played a mixture of ska and reggae as requested, and they didn’t disappoint. They really made it a memorable night. Truly professional, they weren’t long setting up and they didn’t miss a beat. Would definitely hire them again and will wholeheartedly recommend them to anybody who wants their night to run smoothly and be one for everyone to remember.
Thank you all so much. You made my night, and everyone else’s !
Much appreciated. ❤️"
New Colours
"We had New Colours play at The Queens Head and they were absolutely incredible. The range of music they played was phenomenal and they kept everyone entertained all night. They had everyone in the pub dancing and singing. Every song they did was amazing. Absolute little gem of a band. So much so, I am having them play in my other pub. Would highly recommend hiring them for the evening. An absolute pleasure to have them. Thank you so much for making the night so successful."
Felix Mendel
"Felix was incredible. From the moment we saw his video on the site we knew he was exactly what we were looking for at our event. Felix arrived early and was professional throughout, his performance was even more fantastic than we had hoped for, it fit the mood of the evening and our guests loved every minute."
