If you need any help, please feel free to drop us an email and we'll answer any queries you may have.

How much do Cheshire wedding bands cost to hire?

We represent a wide range of local wedding bands to suit events of every scale. From duos and trios ranging from £500-£1000, right through to large soul bands that cost anywhere from £2000 upwards.

There are numerous factors to consider can affect your quote, for example, the number of musicians in the band, the travelling distance for your particular wedding venue, the time of year and the amount of time the band will need to be at the venue.

What's included in the band's fee?

All of our bands come fully self-contained with lighting, PA system and music between sets to keep your guests on the dance floor. In general, most function bands will quote to include all of the below:

  • Set up and soundcheck from 5:30 pm/6 pm
  • 2 x 60 minute or 3 x 40 minute live sets
  • DJ Playlists throughout the evening
  • Professional sound system (PA system, speakers etc.)
  • Lighting rig
  • Public Liability Insurance
  • PAT tested equipment

Do your Cheshire wedding bands provide a DJ service?

Our wedding bands will usually provide free DJ playlists between and after sets to keep your guests on the dance floor.

Many of our bands in Cheshire also offer a DJ package or 'laptop DJ service' for a small additional fee. This involves a member of the band DJ-ing on the night, taking song requests and making announcements if required.

You may also like to consider a professional DJ if your budget allows it. We represent a number of DJs across the UK, from electro-swing specialists to mainstream pop/chart DJs.

What type of music do wedding bands in Cheshire play?

Our wedding music bands generally perform a varied repertoire to cater for guests of every age. Your Cheshire wedding band will typically perform a range of golden oldies including rock 'n' roll, Motown, soul and funk, right up to contemporary pop chart hits.

We also represent wedding bands that focus on one genre of music, from indie wedding bands to soul bands, 80s bands and swing bands.

How many musicians are there in a wedding band?

We represent an extensive range of wedding bands suitable for venues of every size. Whether you're looking for a high-energy indie rock band, a 4-piece band featuring keys and vocals or a larger covers band with a brass section, you'll find the perfect line-up to suit your requirements.

Below are some of the most popular line-ups we offer:

  • 3-piece band: Lead Vocals/Guitar, Bass, Drums
  • 4-piece band: Vocals/Guitar, Keys, Bass, Drums
  • 5-piece band: Vocals/Guitar, Keys, Bass, Sax, Drums
  • 5-piece: Male Vocals/Guitar, Female Vocals, Keys, Bass, Drums

  • 7-piece soul band: 2 x Vocals, Keys, Bass, Drums, 2-piece horn section

Where do your Cheshire wedding bands perform?

Our Cheshire wedding bands are available to hire throughout the area including Warrington, Chester, Crewe and surrounding towns.

What time will the band arrive to set up?

Wedding bands usually base their quote on a standard arrival time of approximately 5:30 pm/6 pm. If the band are setting up in a separate room to the meal and speeches, they'll be able to set up straight away. Otherwise, the band will usually wait until the meal and speeches have finished avoiding any interruptions.

What time will the band start their sets?

Our wedding bands in Cheshire are always happy to fit in with your schedule. As a rule, we recommend that the band starts no earlier than 8:30 pm/9 pm to avoid peaking too early on in the evening.

How long does a wedding band take to set up?

Function bands typically take around an hour to set up and sound check. If you've booked a larger party band, you may need to allow between 90 minutes to 2 hours.
