Hiring Wedding Bands in Yorkshire
How much does it cost to hire a wedding band in Yorkshire?
The cost of wedding bands varies, depending on the line-up, and the options each band offers. In the last 12 months, the average price of a 5-piece band is around £1,600.
The table below shows the range of fees for different types of wedding bands:
| Type of Artist | Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Rock and Pop wedding party bands | £670 - £960 (3-piece) £980 - £1,550 (4-piece) £1,050 - £1,380 (5-piece) £1,570 - £2,160 (4-piece) |

The home town of all Alive Network wedding bands are included on their profile pages, and your Entertainment Coordinator can recommend the best bands near to your venue. However, you don’t need to limit your search to just local bands – your perfect band maybe willing to travel at nominal cost!
How much space will they need?
The table below shows approximately how much space wedding bands of different sizes require:
| Size of Wedding Band | Performance Space Required |
|---|---|
| 3-piece band | 3 x 3 metres |
| 4-piece band | 4 x 3 metres |
| 5 and 6-piece band | 5 x 3 metres |
| 7-piece band and bigger | 5/6 x 4 metres |
How long will they take to set up & soundcheck?
Depending how close to the performance space a wedding band can park, unloading, setting up and performing their sound-check will take around 60 – 90 minutes.
Some busy city hotels require bands to load in via a supplier’s entrance, using a shared staff elevator, which can increase set up times.
Following their performance, it takes around 45 – 60 minutes to pack down and load out.
How long is a typical wedding band set list?
Our bands usually offer two 60-minute performances, though many can perform for longer if needed. You could spread out a two-hour performance by splitting it into three 40-minute sets. Most bands are flexible to fit in with your evening, and will usually take a break of around 15 minutes between sets, during which time they will provide background music from an MP3 player or laptop.
If providing the evening entertainment, a wedding band would typically arrive at 6pm, get set up and perform that all-important sound check by 7.30pm to 8pm, get changed and ready to start the first performance by around 9pm. The second performance would then start around 10.30pm, until a normal curfew of midnight. Many wedding bands offer longer performances or DJ sets at an additional cost, including finishing times of 1am and 2am. You can find the booking options on each wedding band’s profile page. These times serve as an example – the band will always liaise with you and will tailor what they are doing on the night to your particular needs.

"Absolutely fantastic band, can’t recommend enough"
Tuxedo played at our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with how it went. They were absolutely brilliant from the first song to the last and as well as being great musicians they were a great group of people who were really friendly from the moment they arrived! All our guests have not stopped mentioning how good Tuxedo were and we’re already trying to find a reason for another party so we can book them again. Thanks very much to you all for making our evening very special and great fun
"Amazing wedding band - got everyone dancing"
Swamp cats were fantastic, arrived when they said they would, were easy to talk to. Their sets had amazing energy and were well paced. Everyone commented on how good they were and at the end of the night I think almost everyone was on the dance floor. Would definitely recommend!
"Absolutely incredible - highlight of the day for all our gue..."
These guys are superb. We had 2 x 1 hour sets and the dance floor was packed for all of it. Every song was a banger. Excellent set list covering a range of decades and genres. The guys delivered on each one. Naomi is a superstar. So much positive feedback from our guests after the wedding all highlighting how incredible the band were. Thank you so much for such a memorable evening.
"Amazing wedding band! Highly recommend!"
We absolutely loved having Minnie and the Moochers at our wedding. They played a great selection of funk and soul hits, which kept the night high energy throughout. They have a professional and highly honed skill at engaging and entertaining a wedding crowd, and as a result the dance floor was nothing but full the entire night. They play the perfect music for a wedding, and you should book them now!
"Absolutely bloody incredible!!"
We first came across Happy Hour at another wedding, we immediately had to have them! They were just as incredible, they absolutely made the wedding! Our venue had a complex sound system which could easily make it difficult for a band to get the crowd going, absolutely no issue for happy hour, everyone was on their feet and dancing the night away!
"The Duplicators are much more than duplicators!"
The band more than lived up to the recommendation that we had been given by friends who had hired them last year for their wedding. Seriously talented musicians, who excel in filling the dance floor. They went down a storm!
