Live Music for Weddings Across the South East

With our talented bands, your evening can move from rock, pop and indie to soul, Motown, funk and dance-floor classics, with familiar songs that give friends, parents and grandparents plenty of reasons to get involved. Tell the band what you love, flag any must-haves and they can shape the set around your tastes while using their experience to bring out the right songs at the right time. Line-ups are flexible too: keep things compact with a trio, go for our most popular 4-piece format, or add sax, brass and extra vocals when you want something bigger.

And the live music doesn’t have to wait until the evening. Many bands can add an acoustic or jazz set for your ceremony, drinks reception or wedding breakfast before plugging in for the party. For the main celebration, allow around 60–90 minutes for arrival, setup and soundcheck, followed by two hours of live music. The band will provide professional PA and lighting, plus a playlist of music between sets. As a guide, the average wedding band booked through us in the South East costs £1,809, with line-up, travel and extras affecting the final quotation. Many bands can also perform your first dance, with extra sets or additional musicians available when you want to extend the package.

Couples have trusted us with over 45,000 wedding bookings across the South East, backed by experience stretching back 27 years. Wherever you’re celebrating, from Sussex to Oxfordshire, you’ll have plenty of local experience behind you, with Kent, Surrey and Hampshire amongst the places we regularly work. From Blenheim Palace to Gosfield Hall and Leeds Castle, the local wedding scene is very familiar territory.
