Photo of CranberryFlick CranberryFlick "Superb band, who entertained all the attendees at our event last weekend. Knew just exactly what to do to get everyone up dancing and enjoying themselves with a variety of music that everyone thoroughly enjoyed. lots of requests to get them back in at another event later in the year. Highly recommend!" Based in Derby, England Organiser - Private function Photo of House of Harmony House of Harmony "Great singers, entertainers and a lovely atmosphere!" Based in Derby, England Michelle Grant - Private Wedding Photo of Matthew Turner Matthew Turner "If I could give Matt an 11 I would. Couldn't have asked for a better performer for our wedding reception. Matt thought of everything and even brought his indoor speakers incase it rained (thankfully it didnt!) Music was perfect and created a great atmosphere with thoughtful song choices, thanks again, cannot recommend enough! X (10 / 10)" Based in Wirksworth, England (12 miles from Derby) Lauren - Wedding Photo of Samson 65 - Live Act Samson 65 - Live Act "I booked Samson 65 for my brothers 40th surprise party. Professionalism and communication shone through from the initial booking till the actual party. Very fairly priced, playing songs from the 50's up to the present day, Samson 65 had the place rocking and guests up dancing all night. The atmosphere was brilliant. I would definitely recommend this duo and guarantee that you will not be disappointed." Based in Alfreton, England (13 miles from Derby) Amy Brooks - 40th Birthday Party Photo of Deep Down Brass Deep Down Brass "What a great band to have at my 50th party. From the initial booking, through finalising set lists to the performance was easy. As a customer, I felt listened to. The performance itself was brilliant and well admired by all the guests and the staff at the location! If you have a special event then get in touch with the band as they will elevate anything from the ordinary to the extraordinary!" Based in Nottingham, England (14 miles from Derby) 6th May 2026 Charlotte - 50th Birthday Party Photo of The Ramrods The Ramrods "I was given the responsibility of finding a band for my Nan and Grandad’s Diamond Wedding Anniversary party. I booked The Ramrods for this event and they were fantastic! My Nan and Grandad reminisce their dancing days, listening to songs they used to dance and jive to. Everyone enjoyed listening and dancing to the songs they brilliantly performed all night. Would highly recommend this rockabilly band for any special occasion."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring wedding bands is £750, with prices from £170 to £2,250+. 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.
