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.

"The Irish Ceilidh Band played at our wedding and were a huge..."
The Irish Ceilidh Band played at the evening reception for our wedding on the 25th August 2018 and were a huge success. Even though few of our guests were knowledgeable about Irish Folk music we had numerous people telling us how fantastic they were. If you’re interested in booking them you can do the same as us and listen to samples and watch videos on Youtube etc but actually that doesn’t do much to show the atmosphere that they create. Patrick is a real character and has obviously been in the business for a long time and is very good at tweaking his playlist based on audience reaction. Whilst our guests were really enjoying the outstanding musicianship and music for the first half hour or so we did see a reluctance for people to fill the dance floor. That all changed though and Patrick probably regretted our guests losing their inhibitions as our Irish dancing was truly appalling – all our guests had a great time though so that’s all that counts!
"Nothing but positive comments!"
We had Bandit for our wedding at West Street Vineyard in Coggeshall at the weekend. What fun! We’ve had nothing but positive comments from all our guests. The dance floor was definitely rocking for all 2hrs. Plus the acoustic set was prefect for our first dance on the terrace and backdrop for after dinner drinks.
"Stop looking - book this band!"
I truly cannot recommend this band enough, they were everything we wanted and more. I was a little nervous about booking a band we hadn't seen perform but as soon as they arrived, my nerves eased as they were super friendly and professional. Then I heard the sound check, just a few chords from the band and a few lines sung and my nerves totally disappeared as they sounded brilliant. They learnt our chosen first dance song and it was everything we could have hoped for and more. They created a great atmosphere, got everyone on the dance floor and such a great sound. Nearly every guest commented to say how much they loved them (including my Dad whose pretty old school!) They really are a great band and made the wedding party a huge success. Nothing but positive things to say... book this band!!!
"Amazing group of guys - Incredible band"
Perfect wedding band! The guys arrived early to set up and were very quiet and considerate. They got the party started as soon as they started playing and had a great mix of current pop/indie hits and classics which was a great delight to all our guests from young to old- they even gave an encore! Great energy throughout- amazing musicians and great vocals. Great communication from before the day and they took the time to speak with us on the day. Couldn't have wished for a better band.
"Best wedding band, every song was perfect!"
Resident Heroes were absolutely amazing. They learned our first dance song for us. Their acoustic set was so good, they had the entire wedding up and dancing all night long. We could not have asked for anything better!! Everyone is still raving about them.
"They were fab. Very accommodating!"
The band were very approachable and every request myself or guests had they were more than happy to accommodate! Very friendly and their music was amazing! The Dj sets they played had great music that everyone danced to. They learnt 3 of my wedding songs and the artists of these songs had very different vocals and they performed them perfectly! They had fun as well as performed and that added a bit more to my wedding. I would definitely recommend and definitely book them again. They didn’t mind being interrupted and would speak on the microphone on our behalf if we asked them to. Very happy and glad I booked them.
