Wedding Bands for Hire in Londonderry

Q: How much do wedding bands cost in Londonderry?

The average cost of hiring wedding bands is £800, with prices from £180 to £2,550+. 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.

Q: How many hours does a wedding reception band typically perform?

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.

Q: Can wedding bands learn a specific song for our event?

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.

Q: What size line-ups are available for wedding bands?

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.

Many bands offer flexible line-up options to suit different event sizes and budgets.

Q: Will wedding bands bring their own sound equipment?

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.

"Route 66 " "Great gig at the Magnet bar , friendly staff and punters , thanks for the support and keep dancing.???" Based in Londonderry, Northern Ireland Magnet bar Derry - Pub function

Pure Blarney "Just a note from myself though, we knew the band was great and would go down amazingly with our guests - but we were not prepared for how well they were received!! So many compliments about you guys! Review for you to use: We had pure blarney play at our wedding and what an experience!! They were absolutely outstanding. The dance floor was full the entire time - you literally couldn’t stop for a break because every song they played was phenomenal. They were so interactive with the guests and created the most amazing atmosphere. They genuinely have such a talent for what then do - their instruments, their singing and their ability to sustain such high energy. Absolutely faultless!" Based in Ballymena, Northern Ireland (42 miles from Londonderry) Barry Taggart - Wedding

Steven Knight Music (Ireland) "Steven was great. Total professional and really enjoyable." Based in Kilcock, Leinster, Ireland (113 miles from Londonderry) 13th September 2026 Orla Treacy - Donabate Golf Club

The BeerMats Irish Folk & Ballads "Hiring the BeerMats was probably the best decision we made in planning our wedding. Our guests were thoroughly entertained, the music was perfect, and the lads were an absolute pleasure to work with. I would give them an 11/10 rating if I could." Based in Dublin, Leinster, Ireland (123 miles from Londonderry) 1st June 2026 Andrew O'Keefe - Private Wedding

M50 The Band "Saw them in Dolans. Limerick , on May 1st 2026. They are excellent and interactive! They created a great atmosphere!" Based in Dublin, Leinster, Ireland (123 miles from Londonderry) 2nd May 2026 Paul O'Connor

Shindig Wedding Band "Simply the best. As I said many times, we were not looking for a wedding band in Ireland, we wanted an Irish Band that does weddings. Well we found them. In March of 2024 my wife and I were in Ireland to preview my daughter's wedding venue in Co. Monaghan at Castle Leslie. We did not have a band yet and happened into Temple Bar and fortunately for us Sparky was playing with an awesome fiddle player and we were hooked. Quick conversation and some planning with Gav and they were booked. They were incredibly accommodating and helped coordinate all of the music for the day including ceremony, Cocktail 2 Hours(!), Shindig for the evening and even a DJ inserted in the middle. They also worked with me and my band to do some of the first dances etc. for my daughter and our families. As a musician myself, I know good when I see it and these guys were awesome! I can't wait to play with them again!" Based in Dublin, Leinster, Ireland (123 miles from Londonderry) 7th February 2026 Tim Pitney - Wedding
