Hiring A Wedding Band In Powys

Expert advice from our team

In 2025, the average cost to book a wedding band based in Powys was £1798, but the price will vary based on things like the number of members in the band, the cost of travel and how in demand they are. We have bands throughout the area costing from £327 for a trio, up to £25365 for the best luxury wedding bands. The cost of a band will also vary by the time of year, with peak summer months costing more than an off-peak winter wedding.

Wedding bands usually provide all the equipment they'll require to perform on your big day, including a PA system and stage lighting. Once you've submitted an enquiry to us, we will get you a confirmed quote from your chosen artists, based on your exact requirements, and this will include all costs including travel.

Our online prices are based around a typical arrival time of 6pm, a finish time of midnight, with 2 x 60 minute performances. This is typical for an evening wedding party, but many bands also offer afternoon acoustic sets and jazz sets, which you can chose to add for your drinks reception or wedding breakfast.

The best bands will often get booked 18 months in advance, so to be sure of having the largest choice, we suggest hiring as far in advance as possible, especially if your wedding is taking place on a peak summer Saturday.

A set list of live wedding music will include a huge range of songs, including chart music, contemporary music, and classic party hits from the 1950s through to the present day. A wedding party band is all about dancing and getting your guests on the dance floor, so bands will perform a high energy mix of songs that guests of all ages will love.

Bands typically play songs by artists such as The Killers, The Beatles, Taylor Swift, Elton John, Dua Lipa, Oasis, Ed Sheeran, Stevie Wonder, The Rolling Stones to name but a few.

You can review each band's repertoire on their profile page.

If you're looking for something a bit different, you could also consider a Motown band, jazz band or our acoustic bands and Mumford style folk bands.

Rock and Pop Wedding Party Bands
Often the main evening entertainment for weddings in Powys, our party bands will perform a lively and dynamic set, perfect to fill the dancefloor at your evening reception. Most bands will offer a range of classic and modern rock and pop music, from the 1950s to current chart hits – tracks that the majority of your wedding guests will know and want to party to! Visit our Rock and Pop bands page
Soul Motown Wedding Bands
With origins in RnB (rhythm and blues), jazz, and gospel music, the music that soul bands perform combine tantalising tempos and strong, heart-felt vocals. A soul band will perform songs from artists such as James Brown, Little Richard, Jackie Wilson, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, and Otis Redding. Most will also perform a soulful twist on modern classics, and tunes by artists like Amy Winehouse, Bruno Mars, Beyoncé and Rihanna. View Soul & Motown Bands here
Acoustic Bands & Roaming Bands
Whatever atmosphere you’d like to create, roaming and acoustic bands can offer a variety of engaging unplugged musical vibes, ranging from chilled-out to lively and high-tempo, and everywhere in between! These bands can be an exciting, quirky, and interactive option for your wedding. Always warm and intimate, they’re perfect for a relaxed wedding ceremony, a laidback, playful drinks reception, and a fun evening wedding reception. Unbound by cables, some bands wander among your guests as they perform. Some offer the option of ‘jukebox’-style song requests off the cuff, and exciting musical mash-ups, getting everyone involved!
Wedding Ceilidh Bands & Folk Bands
Whether it's a traditional ceilidh band complete with a caller to direct (and explain) the dance steps, or a modern folk wedding band, if you're throwing a rustic barn wedding or a festival-style wedding, these are the perfect choice to get those dancing feet stomping.
Upbeat Jazz
Performing classic toe-tapping jazz music for a happy, sophisticated and romantic mood at your wedding celebrations. Sometimes featuring a singer and sometimes instrumental, these bands can range in styles from Gypsy Jazz, Latin Jazz, and modern pop songs with a vintage Jazz twist.
Dixieland Jazz
Incorporating traditional jazz, Charleston music and the sounds of New Orleans, Dixieland bands traditionally play over a 2-beat rhythm, blending trumpets, trombones, and clarinets with a rhythm section. Usually, one instrument will play a melody and the other instruments improvise around that, giving a really loose and fun performance style, perfect for a summer drinks reception.
Rat Pack and Swing Bands
If you’re looking for a cool, modern vintage wedding theme, Rat Pack singers and swing bands are ideal. Equally smooth and glitzy, these bands will cover Rat Pack classics by Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Junior and Dean Martin, and – with one foot in the jazz camp – they will also perform a range of timeless hits spanning the last 70 years, including music by Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, and Glenn Miller - which you and your guests will love! You can choose to have the full, big band experience to raise the roof, or opt for a toned-down version, according to the vibe you’d like to create at your wedding.

Depending on the band you choose, yes - in most cases professional wedding bands offer this service, although they sometimes charge for it. For fantastic first dance song ideas, please see our "50 First Dance Songs" blog.

You can expect 2 x 1 hour sets of incredible wedding entertainment, though many bands can perform longer if required. The best musicians will be flexible and fit in with your drinks reception or wedding party. They will also provide a playlist of music through their PA system in between their sets.

Standard prices are based on a midnight finish, but a later finish can be arranged for an extra cost.

Most bands will provide a playlist of background music between and after their sets, and this can be adapted to suit your tastes. You may find this is enough to fill the gaps between the band's performances. It will be played through their PA system, and you'll already have the band's stage lighting to light the dancefloor.

Some bands offer a manned DJ service where a band member will proactively take requests and mix tunes, just like a regular DJ. This service typically costs much less than hiring a separate DJ, but keep in mind that most bands don't have a professional DJ in their line up, and they're unlikely to have as much lighting as a professional DJ.

If you want the music between the band's sets to be as important as their live show, or if you want a DJ to perform into the early hours after the band finishes performing, then it's worth considering hiring a separate wedding DJ to look after that for you.

Set up and sound check usually takes around 90 minutes. The band would typically arrive around 6pm to load-in, then taking 60-90 minutes to set-up and sound check.

As a guide

A 3-piece band requires 3 x 3 metres
A 4-piece band will require 4 x 3 metres
5 and 6-piece Powys bands will need around 5 x 3 metres
7-piece bands and bigger will require 6 x 4 metres or more

The band will also require a minimum of 2 x double plug sockets (13 amp) near to where their equipment is set up.

A secure dressing room would be greatly appreciated.

A hot meal and refreshments are also something to consider. You could put soft drinks in their changing rooms or set up a bar tab, and then arrange a hot meal early evening or part of your evening buffet.

Also take a look at "Hiring A Wedding Band: How You Can Ensure Everything Runs Smoothly"

In most cases yes - but be aware it's vital they have robust shelter in case of inclement weather.

You should take the following points into account if you want your band to perform outdoors:

The band's equipment mustn't get wet
Any cover should be at least one meter wider than the space they're performing in
You need to be able to cover them from the sides so rain can't blow onto their equipment
If they have to move after they've already set up, this will cause a big delay
