Amazing voice, and hreat selection of music. Thanks again Diana" Based in Bristol, England Diana - Wedding reception Photo of Groove Jacks Groove Jacks "We booked Groove Jacks for the Wrington Beer Festival and they were very professional from start to finish. Arrived on time, were very friendly and helpful and played a great set that had the audience up and dancing, highly recommended." Based in Bristol, England Neil Phillips - Wrington Beer Festival Photo of The Flamenco Folks The Flamenco Folks "Flamenco Folks put on an excellent show. Gonzalo sings in an intense and powerful way that held our attention throughout even ifcwe didn't understand the lyrics. Ben followed his inflections on guitar sensitively with great technical skill. Faridah the dancer is a compelling sight, beguiling all in read with story-telling expressive hand movements improvising in response to the voice. Their rhythmic seasonal numbers had us all dancing with the cahon in play. Definitely an act to book." Based in Bristol, England David Mowat - Cotham Club performance 15th December 2023 Photo of Twilight Twilight "We saw the Tom Harvey Trio at the Penny Royal for an intimate jazz night. Some of the best live jazz music I've seen in Cardiff! Can't wait to see them perform again" Based in Bristol, England Adam M - Venue event Photo of Dance Monkeys Dance Monkeys "The Dance Monkeys came to my home for a 50th birthday bash.

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring wedding bands is £750, with prices from £180 to £2,300+. The main pricing factor is the number of musicians in the band, as wedding bands range from compact three-piece acts to large ensembles with brass sections and backing vocalists. Performance duration, whether the band provides music for multiple parts of the day and any extras such as DJ sets or lighting also affect cost.

Most wedding bands perform for two to three hours of evening entertainment, usually split into sets with short breaks. The first set often begins after the meal and speeches, starting with the first dance. Longer or shorter performance times can usually be arranged, and many bands also offer background music or DJ services for earlier parts of the day.

Many wedding bands are happy to learn a specific song, such as a first dance or a song with personal significance. For the best experience, discuss this with the band as early as possible, as some songs may require additional rehearsal time. Most bands will learn at least one special request at no extra charge.

The wedding bands listed on Gig Heaven range from small three or four-piece groups to larger line-ups with brass sections, backing singers and additional musicians. Smaller bands suit intimate venues and lower budgets, while larger ensembles create a bigger sound for grand receptions. Many bands offer flexible line-up options to suit different event sizes and budgets.

Most wedding bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, microphones and any necessary amplification for standard event venues. For larger spaces or events with over 300 guests, additional sound reinforcement may be needed. It is a good idea to confirm equipment details with the band before booking, especially if the venue has specific noise restrictions or technical requirements.

Most wedding bands cover a wide range of genres, from pop and rock to soul, Motown, indie and current chart hits. Some also offer jazz, swing or acoustic sets for cocktail hours and dinner. Browsing band profiles on Gig Heaven is the best way to check repertoire, and many bands will tailor their setlist to suit the style of your event.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
