Recommended bands for venues with sound restrictions

If you've booked a wedding venue with a sound restrictions like Kew Gardens or the Sheraton Grand, it doesn't mean giving up on live music. Some of our London wedding bands offer a ‘silent backline’ featuring electric drums to tightly control their volume, whilst acoustic or easy listening acts naturally produce less volume. Here are four bands we recommend for London venues where sound restrictions need to be carefully managed.

5 stars - The Arcadias are Highly Recommended

"Would 10/10 recommend, they had the whole crowd dancing from start to finish! We're into indie and rock, as well as 80's/90's and a bit of modern pop - and their set is curated perfectly for this. The guys in the band were super friendly, really cool - and they also learned our first dance song. On the fence? Book them - you won't regret it!"

5 stars - Seven are Highly Recommended

"The guys were absolutely brilliant and the level of talent was clear to see. Their rendition of our first dance song was beautiful, and it helped create a moment that we will never forget. From this point on, they absolutely blew the roof off the place. Everyone agreed that they have never heard such a polished and impressive wedding band before."
