Booking a live wedding band for the first time can raise a number of questions. From setup details to the First Dance, and from line-up to set times, here’s all you need to know to start planning your Leicestershire wedding.
What time will the band arrive, and how long does setup take?
Typically, our bands arrive between 5:30 pm and 6:00 pm. Setup generally takes around an hour, although may be slightly longer for larger bands with more equipment. You’ll find exact set-up times on the band’s profile page.
Can the wedding band play our First Dance song?
Absolutely. Our bands are often able to learn and perform your chosen song for the first dance. Please let us know your selection at least 6-8 weeks before the wedding to ensure sufficient rehearsal time.
Are we able to select songs for the setlist?
Definitely! You’re welcome to choose a handful of your favourite tunes from the band’s online repertoire. The band will then build the rest of their set around your preferences.
Do your Leicestershire wedding bands offer daytime music?

Do your bands offer a manned DJ service between and after sets?
All of our bands provide complimentary party playlists between their sets until midnight. For a more customised experience, many bands also offer a manned DJ service for a small additional charge.

Our bands usually play 2 x 60-minute sets or 3 x 40-minute sets, depending on your event’s schedule. If you need advice on timings, our team is on hand to advise on the best approach.
How much does it cost to hire a wedding band in Leicestershire?
There are a number of factors that affect the price of a wedding band, including travel distance, the number of musicians in the band and performance duration. As a guide, you can expect to pay around £1100-£1500 for a Leicestershire band with 3-4 members.
You’ll find the guide prices on our website are a good starting point, but if you’d like a tailored quote for your event date and wedding venue, drop us an enquiry through the band’s profile page and we’ll come back to you within 24 hours.
What’s included in the band’s fee?

What do we need to provide for the band on the day?
On the day, the band will need access to 2 x 13amp electrical outlets for their equipment. A performance space of about 4 x 3 meters is ideal for a 4-piece band. Also, providing some soft drinks and meals will keep the band refreshed and ready to deliver their best performance.
How far in advance should we book the wedding band?
To secure your preferred party band, we recommend booking 12-18 months in advance. However, we always have bands available for those last-minute bookings.
What happens if a band member is ill?
In the rare case that a band member is unable to perform, our bands have a network of professional deputy musicians (‘deps’) ready to step in. This ensures that your event will proceed smoothly without disruption.
