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) |

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.

"Best decision we made for our wedding!"
Radioactive were a brilliant addition to our wedding! Communication was fab and nothing was too much trouble for the guys. They played a great selection of songs from start to finish and had everyone dancing and singing along. Everyone commented on how great the band were. Thank you for a brilliant evening!
Just want to say the biggest thank you in the world to Max and The Mustangs!!! They played at my wedding in November and they were incredible!! Everyone has been constantly messaging me about how good they were and I can't thank them enough. They put on an amazing show, so professional and on top of that they are just really nice guys!! So lucky to have been recommended them as they made our night magical! The biggest thank you once again!!
"What a amazing night!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Out Of Control is a must book for anybody having a party of any sort!! Everything from smashing out hit after hit from coming in to the crowd to dance along with us all. Really nice guys and also willing to learn obscure songs such as Racey!! Will defo recommend to others. Thank you for a great night.
"Thanks for the amazing performance!"
Thanks for the amazing performance at the weekend. Everybody loved it. Great choice with the setlist, you really helped make our evening wonderful.
"Could not have been happier with our band"
We had The Good Habits for our wedding in August and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From the minute the guys arrived till the minute they left they were total pros - introducing themselves, making sure we were happy in between sets and saying goodbye when they left. The live sets were amazing and had our dance floor full all night. Would not think twice about booking these guys again.
"Simply Brilliant - Everyone at our wedding said so!"
The Swamp Cats were our wedding band and DJ at our August Bank Holiday wedding and they were brilliant. We spent a long time looking for band as we wanted something that represented us musically and played all the music we love dancing to at parties, Swamp Cats are that. They are all so lovely and friendly and played every song we sent. If you’re looking for a band for your wedding, party etc then do get in touch with the guys. I’ve already said to my now husband that I want a five year anniversary party with the swamp cats in attendance!! Thanks guys, you were brill!!
