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

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 band got our wedding day groove on.."
We were the last minute bride and groom having planned a destination wedding in Birmingham. One of the things that made us extremely nervous was the availability and quality of the band. But, we were in luck. Atomic Hi-Fi was available for our special day and they really exceeded our expectations. From the beginning, our experience was top notch. They communicated all their needs in advance,asked for our input on song sets, and on the day they checked in constantly, and then in the end after they had finished their sets. Music is very important to us and after sending some guidance as to what to expect age wise and the overall crowd at the wedding, the guys delivered and even took requests throughout the evening. They were talented, charming and engaged with the folks on the dance floor. I plan to only get married once, but would definitely book these guys again... if the occasion ever arose.
"The perfect entertainment for anyone's Wedding!"
All of our Guests were dancing from start to finish. The band played all of our favourite song and even learned our first dance song! Perfect evening, perfect act and I would book you guys if I was to do it all over again!
"Best wedding band I've ever seen!"
Lots of people at our wedding raved about the band, they made the evening absolutely fantastic! Worth every penny, really helpful & friendly guys who got our guests up on the dance floor all night! We were delighted with our choice!
"Amazing - everyone loved them!"
I was so picky when it came to picking a band. I literally became the Simon Cowell of wedding bands but these guys where amazing! Everyone commented on how good they where. We were both a little nervous as we hadn’t heard the band live however as soon as they started to warm up the nerves fell away. Honestly worth every penny.
