Swansea Wedding Band Guide

You're bound to have questions about the in and outs of booking a band, which is why our team of experts have put together the following booking guide to help you get started. We cover everything from party band packages and logistics to wedding music and more.

How much does it cost to hire a Swansea wedding band?

We represent a number of highly professional wedding bands in South Wales to cover a range of budgets. You'll find local party duos from £500, trios and 4-piece bands from £1000 - £1200 and larger soul bands and party bands from £1500 - £2000.

The price of a function band in Swansea varies depending on a number of factors such as travelling distance, the number of musicians in the band, arrival times and finish times.

What packages do your local Swansea bands offer?

Our band packages include a full sound system, lighting rig and DJ playlists of related music to ensure your dance floor is at full capacity until midnight- even when the band are taking a break.

Every band offers a slightly different package but in general you can expect your band to offer something similar to 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 wedding bands offer acoustic sets and a DJ service?

Many of our bands also offer additional options such as acoustic sets during the drinks reception, solo instrumental music during the wedding breakfast, a professional DJ service and extended performance times.

Our wedding bands are happy to accommodate your requirements wherever possible, so just let us know what you're after and we'll do our best to provide you with a bespoke quote to suit your big day.

What type of music do wedding bands in Swansea perform?

With years of live performance experience under their belts, our wedding bands have put together a tried and tested set list to suit guests of all ages. Performing everything from old school soul, funk and Motown classics to retro 80s hits, 90s Britpop and modern indie/rock, they'll be something to keep your wedding guests on the dance floor.

Our wedding bands always try to ensure they stay top of their game by adding the latest modern chart hits to keep your guests firmly on their toes.

How many musicians are there in a party band?

Our most popular bands usually feature at least three musicians. Below are some of the most common line-ups we work with:

  • 3-piece indie rock party band: Lead Vocals/Guitar, Bass, Drums
  • 4-piece function 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
  • 6-piece: Male Vocals/Guitar, Female Vocals, Keys, Bass, Sax, Drums
  • 7-piece party band: 2 x Vocals, Keys, Bass, Drums, 2-piece horn section

Of course, there are no limits if your venue has the space! We represent wedding bands that can offer an incredible line-up of 12 or more members to include multiple vocalists, percussion and choreographed dancers for an explosive live performance.

Will my wedding band perform our first dance song?

All of our Swansea function bands will be happy to learn and perform your first dance song, please just let us know at least six weeks in advance so we can ensure it's suitable for their line-up.

Most bands include one song request within the price but please check prior to booking if you have something in mind.

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?

Your live band will be 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 the band take to set up?

Cover bands typically take around 60 minutes 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.
