This usually includes a mixture of live music and DJ playlists, all the equipment required as well as the appropriate insurance and documents. Below is fairly typical of what your band may include in their quote:
- Set up and soundcheck from 5:30 pm/6 pm
- 2 x 60 minute or 3 x 40 minute live sets

A number of the party bands we work with also offer additional add-ons such as acoustic ceremony music, afternoon jazz sets and DJ sets.
Do your Wedding bands in Northamptonshire offer a DJ service?
All of our evening function bands include free playlists between sets and up until midnight as standard. With budget so often a key factor this means you won't have to think about hiring a DJ for your evening reception as well.
If you do have the budget, many of our wedding bands offer either the option to include laptop DJ sets or even a full DJ package with a professional DJ to work alongside the band. Get in touch to find out more.

If it's more chilled out background music that you're after, perhaps consider one of our Northamptonshire acoustic bands or string quartets in Northants, ideal for the ceremony music, afternoon drinks reception and the wedding breakfast.
