Hiring A Leeds Wedding Band
How much does it cost to hire a wedding band in Leeds?
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) |

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.

"Awesome band for a rocking wedding party"
Big shout out to resident heroes who played our do last night. They are great guys with a strong set list that definitely suited our tastes. Playing 3 sets, including starting with an acoustic set, they got people dancing and kept the evening rocking (playing mp3 requests of slayer bemused some of my family but was hilarious). All our guests commented on how good they were Really, I feel like I couldn't have picked a better band.
"50th Birthday Banditos were Fantastic"
Turned up on time, really nice and easy to deal with guys. Had a couple of requests they were all to pleased to do such as sing happy birthday and put some ABBA songs into the mix. But it’s all about the quality of their music and they are fantastic, simply everyone sang along and danced to their tunes. Even the venue wanted their contact details so you might just get a booking or two. Would highly highly recommend, we got what we paid for
"Surpassed All Our Expectations!"
Superb professional musicianship, combined with lively performance created a memorable atmosphere & our guests danced enthralled! Thank you for adding so much to our wedding evening. Also for being flexible about the set & with the timings on the night. Lovely people too. Fantastic!
"They made the night!! Amazing!"
We booked the Good Habits one year ahead of our wedding and spent that time dreaming of how amazing the night time party would be. And it was! We were put in direct contact around 6 weeks before and James put us at ease immediately and we knew they had it all in hand. On the day they arrived and set up without anyone even noticing they were so professional. Their own sets were amazing and filled the floor the entire night. We had chosen a lot of the music for in between which they played whilst also taking requests. Every guest we've seen since then has raved about them. Can't recommend you guys highly enough. Thank you for making our evening so special! James and Sharon
