Dorset Wedding Band Packages

At Bands for Hire, we appreciate how delicate a procedure arranging a wedding can be, and to optimise ease and simplicity in hiring your wedding band, we offer all inclusive quotes for all our services. Our quotes cover everything from travel expenses to use of the band’s lighting rig and full PA system. Plus, to save having to book a DJ as well, all our bands prepare an iPod playlist of related music to keep things flowing between sets - although if you’d prefer to provide your own playlist, feel free to approach the band, and they’ll play it through their sound system.

Our quotes are typically based around a 12 midnight finish, but if your venue allows music to be played later and you’d like your band for longer, please notify us in advance so we can make the necessary adjustments to your quote.

50s Wedding Bands and Motown Wedding Bands in Dorset

A great deal of our Dorset wedding bands have repertoires consisting of songs by many and varied artists, both old and new, to appeal to all ages and preferences. Alternatively, if you’d rather stick to a specific style or genre, we have several tribute bands that are sure to fit the bill.

Whether your style of wedding needs some vintage 50’s rock ’n’ roll as performed by Jerry Lee Lewis or Elvis Presley, the funky soul of James Brown and Stevie Wonder, or the modern hits of Kings of Leon, Kaiser Chefs and Kasabian, you'll find something to suit your plans here at Bands For Hire.
