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.

"Took our celebration up several notches!"
Professional, punctual, polite and absolutely fantastic! These guys had our whole mixed crew of Indians and English folk rocking out on the dance floor! They’re a talented bunch who know how to work the energy of a crowd and their instincts for which songs to play at what point were absolutely fantastic! They honestly brought so much life to our wedding and were an amazing addition to the night.
"Amazing performance from a great friendly band"
The guys were incredible for our wedding. They learnt our first dance and performed it amazingly. They were so friendly and made the whole evening painless and were taking on the spot requests from guests. I Would highly recommend them and would use them for any future events for sure.
"These guys rocked our wedding and everybody loved them"
Whatever your reason for needing a band these guys will reach expectations and beyond. If you do not have a reason to hire this band well then find one they absolutely rocked out our wedding and everybody loved them. The dance floor was never empty and even had non dancers dancing. Thank you so much Fraudio
"They played like there were thousands!"
They came and set up, started and carried out their set list and DJing on time, well presented and very professionally! We had a small wedding as planned and they played like the room was packed with people on the dance floor or when it was empty and everyone was sitting or outside! We were getting told how amazing the band had been by everyone and I really enjoyed their music! Chatted to the 3 of them in between sets and they engaged so well with everyone! Everyone wanted the name of them after and they were honestly fantastic. They learnt our first dance song specially and made it their own which sounded great. Please hire them! You won't regret it!
"The Mightys were FABULOUS, highly recommended"
We had guests aged from 8 to 80 and everyone enjoyed the Mighty’s. The dance floor stayed full all evening. They even learned a favourite song of the bride, such lovely guy’s we could not recommend them enough.
"Brilliant music on our wedding night"
Would like to give a massive thank you to The Low Down for entertaining us and our guests at our wedding reception. Communication, efficiency, and quality of their performance was excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend to friends and family for future events. Thanks guys.
