Our Guide to the best
Wedding Bands Nottingham has to offer
Read the booking guide...
After reading Nott’s mag LeftLion’s History of Nottingham Music, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Nottingham has minimal musical legacy. However, the early 80’s saw the opening of Rock City and The Royal Concert Hall, who between them have hosted a whole range of artists – from The Hallé, John Rutter and The Nottingham Philharmonic Orchestra to The Undertones, The Smiths, Nirvana and Rage Against The Machine.
In 2005, the Dot to Dot Festival was launched in Nottingham, showcasing the best new talent across three venues in the city. Today, it’s firmly on the music-lovers map, alongside Manchester and Bristol, as the Dot to Dot lineup perform one day in each city over the late May bank holiday weekend.
Notable Notts musicians include Deep Purple founding member Ian Paice, who is still playing and touring with the band; Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson; Andy Fletcher, who founded Depeche Mode with Vince Clarke in 1980, and Brit-nominee Jake Bugg, who’s taken Nottingham’s name world-wide!

Hiring Nottingham Wedding Bands
How much does it cost to hire a wedding band in Nottingham?
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) |

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 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.

"Amazing, incredible sound and wide variety of songs"
Brilliant band, would recommend them to everybody. Very good in communicating before the wedding and quick to respond to requests On the night they were incredible, brilliant band they had everyone up and dancing, couldn’t have asked for more, very wide variety of music as well
"Best band ever - would 100% recommend"
I booked Dirty Weekend to play at my wedding in October 2018. We picked the acoustic tent set for during the drinks reception, and then IOW, Glastonbury and Live aid for the evening. Unfortunately the lads got stuck in traffic on the way and missed the drinks reception, where they were supposed to play a specific song for us. However, they managed to add this into one of the other sets during the night, and none of guests knew about the missing acoustic set. Once they got started in the evening, they absolutely more than made up for the missed time. People were up dancing from the very start, and the dance floor was packed for most of the night. All of our guests were really impressed with the high quality performance and great selection of songs. They exceeded all of our expectations, and I genuinely couldn't be more pleased. With how well thy did. All the lads were really nice - I'd spoken to David on the phone in the 2 weeks leading up to the event, and we had a really good chat about bands and songs. Without a doubt I would recommend these guys to play at any event you are organising.
"Amazing band which really made our wedding!"
Fantastic band, really got the crowd going and their music was just great. We also had an acoustic set which was fab, and communication before the event was really easy. We would 100% recommend The Royale!
"SO impressed and desperate to do it all again!!!"
Wow, these guys were insane. Everything we could have wished for and more. And they all have full time jobs as well!!! Absolutely everyone was impressed and I handed out many contact details. I’m already racking my brain for when I can book them again! Such lovely guys as well which just made it even more perfect. The set lists were just awesome and everyone was up on the dance floor. Absolutely brilliant and highly highly recommended. Suits all ages, created an amazing atmosphere and the comments I received were all fantastic. We would rate them so much more than a 5/5 if we could. Thank you so so so much. Jen and Holly x
"Amazing! They made our wedding day very special!"
The radiophonics were fantastic on our wedding day. They played to our audience which was a mix of old and new and always got people up and dancing. They were very clear that they would not play anything they didn’t was us to, which was great, although we had picked them as we loved all their songs in their repotoire. Thank you so much, you made our day even more special!
The set list was fantastic. Every song had people up and dancing. They listened to songs we wanted on the dj set list too. Three sets of 45minutes were brilliant too. Everyone commented how amazing they were. We’re planning another event and will be booking them!!
