Wedding Music to Get Everyone Dancing

When deciding on your band, your soundtrack can be as broad as your guest list. Most bands cover a broad mix of rock and indie anthems, modern pop, soul, Motown, funk and dance-floor classics, with familiar songs helping different generations meet in the middle. Share your favourites beforehand and the band can shape the set around you, while keeping enough freedom to respond to requests on the night.

What to Expect From Your Wedding Band

PA and lighting are typically part of the package, and your first dance can often be performed live. Expect around two hours of live performance across the evening, with most bands splitting this into two hour-long sets. The average price of a wedding band in Kent is approx. £1,806, with a four piece line-up being the most popular choice. A DJ service, extra live sets or additional musicians / brass sections are available from many bands, giving you more ways to shape your night.

A typical evening sees the band take over once dinner and speeches are finished and your evening guests are settled in. Time the buffet for their first break and there won’t be any competition between the two. If you’d like live music earlier, many bands can also provide something acoustic or jazzy for the ceremony or drinks reception before switching to the full party setup.
