Wales Wedding Band Guide

At Bands For Hire, we work alongside some of the very best wedding bands in Wales, providing live wedding entertainment that's certain to make an impact. If this is your first time hiring a band, feel free to read through our FAQs below

What type of wedding bands can I hire in Wales?

We represent a wide variety of live wedding bands in Wales to suit your taste, budget and theme. You'll find everything from pop, rock, soul and Motown to folky festival bands and DJ Live combos. Whatever style of music you're into, you'll be sure to find the perfect wedding band for your special day.

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

The cost of hiring a wedding band in Wales depends on several factors, such as the size of the band, the length of their performance, the date and time of your event, and the distance they'll need to travel. However, you can expect to pay anywhere from £1200-£1500 upwards for a high quality wedding band with three or four members.

Where in Wales do your wedding bands perform?

Our Welsh bands are available to hire at locations across the country including Swansea, Cardiff, Pembrokeshire and North Wales. Some of the most popular wedding venues our bands have had the pleasure of performing at include:

  • Hensol Castle
  • Celtic Manor Resort
  • St Donat’s Castle
  • Oldwalls Gower
  • Fairyhill by Oldwalls

Why hire a wedding band?

Hiring a live wedding band is a fantastic way to get your evening party underway. Here are just a few reasons to get you started:

  • Creates a lively and festive atmosphere to get wedding guests on the dance floor
  • Can tailor their setlist to suit your preferences
  • Will interact with your guests and make them feel involved
  • Can provide high-quality sound and lighting equipment
  • Can offer additional services such as DJ sets, acoustic sets or ceremony music

How far in advance should I book a wedding band in Wales?

It's advisable to book your band as soon as possible, especially if you have a specific date or band in mind. Our Wales Wedding bands tend to get booked up quickly during peak seasons such as summer or weekends. Ideally, you should book your wedding band at least 9-12 months before your event date.

Can I choose the songs that my wedding band will play?

Yes, most wedding bands will be happy for you to select a handful of your favourite songs from their repertoire. However, it's usually best to trust the band's expertise and experience when it comes to choosing the setlist. This allows them to choose the songs that best suit the audience and occasion.

What if my wedding venue has noise restrictions or sound limiters?

It's important to check with your venue beforehand to see if they have sound restrictions, such as a sound limiter. Most of our Welsh wedding bands are able to accommodate sound limiters by adjusting their volume levels, using electronic drums and in-ear monitors. However, if your venue has very strict noise limits, you may want to consider hiring an acoustic duo or trio instead of a full band.

What's the difference between 'DJ playlists' and a 'DJ service'?

DJ playlists typically involve pre-selected music played through the sound system, while a DJ service usually refers to a band member providing DJ sets throughout the evening. A DJ service tends to be a more personalised experience as they can interact with guests, take requests and make announcements throughout the event.

What time will the band arrive to set up?

Most of our function bands in Wales arrive at the venue at about 5:30/6pm so that they're ready to set up as soon as the meal and speeches have finished. If the band are in a different location to the meal, they can usually set up on arrival. Rest assured that all our bands will work with you and the venue to ensure a smooth and timely set-up.

A very friendly and professional organisation. Their expedient service was tremendous, giving me the assurance that my event would be a huge success. All written communication was clear and concise and telephone conversations were polite and gave me confidence. This was the first time I had used Bands For Hire, and I would certainly recommend them.
