Northamptonshire Wedding Band FAQs

From choosing your wedding band to organising logistics and deciding on your schedule, you're bound to have lots of questions about how to book a wedding band. That's why our team has put together the following FAQ guide to get you started with everything you need to know.

What type of wedding bands in Northants do you offer?

We represent a huge variety of wedding bands in Northamptonshire, from indie rock, pop, Motown and soul bands right through to specialist 50s rock 'n' roll and 80s cover bands. Whatever your tastes there's something for all ages, with most of our wedding bands covering a broad mixture of wedding band music to suit guests of all ages.

How much does it cost to hire a wedding band in Northampton?

We represent wedding bands to suit a range of budgets. The price of a wedding band is often affected by the number of musicians in the band and so you can expect to find trios and 4-piece bands in the region of £1000-£1250 with larger 5-piece bands and above starting at around £1300-£1500.

You may also find that travelling distance affects your quote and so we try to display those bands based closer to the area higher up in the listings.

What packages do your Northamptonshire wedding bands offer?

Our local wedding bands in Northamptonshire have put together a complete wedding entertainment package to cover everything you'll need on the day.

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
  • DJ Playlists throughout the evening
  • Professional sound system (PA system, speakers etc.)
  • Lighting rig
  • Public Liability Insurance
  • PAT tested equipment

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.

How many musicians are there in a wedding band?

Many of our bands in Northants offer multiple line-ups to cater for various budgets and venue size. Our roster includes everything from a standard vocal/guitar/bass/drums 4-piece band to a full-on 12-piece party band with brass section, male and female lead vocals, and a percussionist.

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.

Our Northamptonshire wedding bands regularly perform at wedding venues all across Northants including Corby, Cottingham, Daventry, Earlstrees Industrial Estate, East Carlton, Great Oakley, Gretton, Irchester, Kettering, Middleton, Northampton, Rockingham, Rushden, Stanion and Wellingborough.

★★★★★

Life In Stereo were a great bunch and sounded even better in real life than they did online. Not only can the lead singer really sing but the band as a whole are excellent and the lead guitarist is fantastic! We had a wonderful celebration for our wedding and the band played a major part in making it special, thanks to all of you and the staff at Bands For Hire!
