At Bands For Hire, we only represent the very best wedding bands in Derbyshire, so you can rest assured of an exceptionally high-quality act. Our bands start from £1000-£1200 for a trio or 4-piece band with larger line-ups and options available.

Every function band we work with has put together an all-inclusive package to cover everything you'll need on your wedding day. This will typically include two or three sets of live music, DJ playlists throughout the evening as well as musical equipment and lighting. Below is an example of the type of packages we offer:

• 2 x 60 or 3 x 40 minute live sets to finish by midnight
• Professional PA system (Speakers, mixing desk, amps etc)
• High-quality lighting for the performance area and dance floor
• DJ Playlists before, between and after live sets until midnight
• Travel expenses
• Public Liability Insurance
• PAT test certificates

Many of our Derbyshire wedding bands offer a full package to include acoustic sets earlier on in the day and DJ sets in the evening, if this is something you're interested in please let us know and we'll put forward some suitable options for you to consider.

All of our professional wedding bands provide free playlists throughout the evening reception to keep your guests dancing.

If you'd prefer something a little more interactive, many of our popular cover bands also offer the option to add a DJ service that involves a member of the band mixing tracks and taking song requests throughout the night.

We represent an extensive range of UK 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 cover 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

• 6-piece party band: Male Vocals/Guitar, Female Vocals, Keys, Bass, Sax, Drums
• 7-piece soul band: 2 x Vocals, Keys, Bass, Drums, 2-piece horn section

Our 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.

Our wedding bands in Derbyshire 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.

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

Most wedding bands are more than happy to learn a first dance song, especially for your big day. We always recommend running your song request past us in advance if you have something particular in mind so that we can check the song is suitable for your band's line-up and style.

Most wedding bands include a song request in their quote, whilst some bands do charge a small fee to cover their studio and rehearsal time.

Our function bands perform a broad and diverse range of party classics to cater for guests of all ages. That means a tried and tested set list of high energy party tunes covering everything from classic soul and Motown, 80s, 90s to contemporary indie, rock and modern pop.

Perhaps you'd like your wedding band to focus on a particular style or genre? At Bands For Hire, we represent a range of tribute bands as well as bands that pay particular to a specific genre such as indie, soul or Motown.
