Yorkshire Wedding Bands

Our wedding bands cover a broad spectrum of music to cater for guests of all ages, from well-known tracks by rock 'n' roll legends right through to modern indie classics from the likes of Kaiser Chiefs and Arctic Monkeys.

If pop and soul is your thing, you'll be sure to find a healthy selection of epic tunes to get your guests on the dance floor, including iconic Motown tracks from the likes of Jackie Wilson and James Brown as well as modern pop favourites.

Several factors can affect the price of a live function band, mainly the number of musicians, the experience of the band and the travelling distance.

As a guide, you can expect a trio to start at around £1000, with 4-piece bands ranging between £1200 and £2000.

When booking one of our Yorkshire Bands For Hire, you'll be assigned a dedicated member of our team with extensive experience in the wedding industry. We'll be happy to assist with any queries you may have to ensure a stress-free booking process from the moment of your enquiry to the big day itself.

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 different 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

All of our bands and happy to work with your schedule. As a general guide, we recommend starting the band's live sets no earlier than 8:30 pm/9 pm.

Function bands typically take around an hour to set up and sound check, with some larger bands requiring up to 2 hours.

As an established entertainment agency, we offer a whole host of live music options to cover every aspect of your big day. Our most popular wedding musicians include wedding harpists, guitarists, pianists and string quartets - perfect for ceremony music and drinks receptions.

We also offer a range of acoustic duos, jazz bands and swing bands - the perfect match for a lively afternoon champagne reception, wedding breakfast or early evening reception.

We represent some of the most popular wedding bands in Yorkshire which means they’re often booked up quite far in advance. If you have a favourite band that you simply have to have, then we advise booking at least 12-18 months in advance to make sure you don’t miss out.

Sound limiters have become more and more commonplace over the past few years and are something all of our wedding bands are familiar with. If your wedding venue has a sound limiter or in-house PA system, please mention this in your enquiry and we’ll ensure your wedding band is suitable.

Our Yorkshire function bands are available throughout the North of England including including North Yorkshire, East Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, Leeds, Barnsley, Bradford, Kingston upon Hull, Sheffield, Wakefield, Harrogate, Keighley, York, Dewsbury, Huddersfield, Scarborough, Middlesbrough, Batley, Doncaster, Castleford, Rotherham, Redcar, Halifax and Bridlington.

All of our Yorkshire bands provide free DJ playlists throughout the evening until midnight, so you won’t need to book a DJ as well.

Most of our bands in Yorkshire do offer manned DJ sets as an optional add-on. This involves a member of the band DJ-ing from a laptop and usually works out cheaper than hiring a separate DJ.
