Hiring A Band From Liverpool
How much do Liverpool bands for hire cost?
The cost of a live band 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 bands:
| Type of Artist | Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Rock and Pop bands | £670 - £960 (3-piece) £980 - £1,550 (4-piece) £1,050 - £1,380 (5-piece) £1,570 - £2,160 (4-piece) |

Booking a band who are local to your venue is a great way to reduce cost, as any travel fees will be minimal. 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 live bands of different sizes require:
| Size of 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 the 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 function bands 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 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 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 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.

"Everyone loved them! Made our night."
We are so glad we booked the band for the evening of our wedding. They were all so friendly and professional. They had everyone up dancing, even my father in law who never dances! They played a mixture of different songs to cater to everyone. We would totally recommend them!!
"Checkmate gave us a wonderful night to remember"
The singing together with the band's performance greatly contributed to the success of the evening. So many of our guests complimented the band. The song choices worked perfectly and all age groups joined the dancing and clearly enjoyed the evening. Checkmate gave us a wonderful night to remember. We would highly recommend them.
"Outstanding band that filled the dance floor"
We hired The Royale for our wedding based on their varied track repertoire so we were unsure exactly what to we were going to get. All expectations were exceeded as the band were brilliant. They were professional and completely engaged with our guests. From the moment they started playing Stand By Me, which we had selected for our first dance, the dance floor was full and continued to be so throughout the full night. If there was an option to give 6/5 we would of. Thank you for making an amazing day an even more amazing night
"Do not hesitate to book. They were perfect!"
The band were fantastic. I cannot recommend enough. Communication from the band prior to the wedding was clear and concise. I was asked if there were any particular songs I wanted to be played during the sets, what music type I wanted to be played and that requests could be made on the night. The sets were brilliant and had the whole wedding dancing. Volume was perfect for the size of the venue and the quality of the band could not be faulted. Do not hesitate to book. They will be perfect for your occasion.
"The third time we’ve booked Live Wires.... says it all!"
We totally love Live Wires. This is the third time we’ve booked them for a family event. Think that says it all. Always a great, friendly bunch of lads, perfectly professional and always get the party going. Kept everyone on the dance floor all night long from youngest to oldest!
"Not hiring this band would be the biggest mistake of your li..."
Charming Louise were absolutely outstanding! The ultimate professionals start to finish. Their communication was always prompt in the run up to the event and on the day they were really friendly & warm. Most importantly they did 2 phenomenal sets that had everyone up on their feet dancing; old & young. We have had so many guests commenting on how impressed they were with the music! They are an incredibly talented group and we wouldn't hesitate to book them again for future events. I honestly could not recommend them highly enough!
