Good to know
Wedding band FAQs
How much does it cost to hire a wedding band?
Prices vary by artist, location, performance length and event requirements. Check each profile and request a quote for your wedding.
How long do wedding bands usually perform?
Performance lengths and set formats vary. Check the artist profile and confirm the schedule directly with the band.
When should I book a wedding band?
Popular dates can book early, so it is sensible to enquire once your date and venue are known.
Can I request specific songs?
Many bands accept requests, but repertoire and any extra charges vary. Review the set list and confirm requests with the artist.
Do you need Public Liability Insurance and PAT-tested equipment?
Most professional acts carry Public Liability Insurance and PAT-tested equipment. If your venue asks for proof, request a copy from the artist directly.
What power supply do you need if the venue has no mains electricity?
Requirements vary by act and equipment. If your venue doesn't have mains power nearby, confirm generator or extension needs with the artist before booking.
Do you need a rider or should we provide food during breaks?
Some acts appreciate a meal or refreshments during breaks, especially for longer events. Check the artist's profile or ask directly what they'd expect.
Is travel included in the quoted price?
This varies by artist and distance. Many quote a fixed travel radius before charging extra, so confirm this as part of your enquiry.
How much deposit is required, and when is the balance due?
Deposit amounts and payment timelines vary by artist. Check the specific terms on each profile or confirm directly before booking.
Do you provide your own staging, lighting and sound, or does the venue need to supply anything?
This varies by act and event size. Confirm exactly what's included and what your venue needs to provide.
Can the band learn our first dance song?
Many bands will learn a first dance on request, though availability and any arrangement time or fee vary by artist. Ask early, ideally a few months before the wedding, so there's time to prepare it.
What happens if it rains and we're planning an outdoor ceremony or reception?
Most bands can move indoors or under cover, but check the artist's equipment and space needs for a wet-weather setup, and confirm your venue has a suitable backup space.
