Typically our Berkshire wedding bands will perform a wide range of the best-known popular music from every decade, to ensure no-one is left out – from teenagers through to (great-) grandparents.
A typical set might include genres as varied as 50s rock'n'roll, 60s Motown and 80s pop funk, rounded off with a healthy dose of 90 Britpop anthems and current chart.
If you'd prefer a band dedicated to a specific artist or decade (or another genre entirely, such as folk or swing), fear not, we have that too. Just have a browse of our menus at the top of this page.
The county that gave us the Reading festival, the oldest rock and pop music festival in the world, is a fitting place for a raucous musical knees-up.
Our wedding bands have played in all major centres across Berkshire, including Slough, Bracknell, Maidenhead, Wokingham, Newbury, Woodley and Windsor.
We've also sent wedding bands to smaller towns and villages including Thatcham, Sandhurst, Crowthorne, Twyford, Wraysbury, Sunninghill, Hungerford and Datchet.
Of course, if you prefer the refined to the raucous that's possible too. Berkshire has a host of beautiful wedding venues fit for the upper classes. From the Royal Ascot Racecourse to Eton College, our bands have seen them all.
Some of our favourite venues in the area include Highclere Castle, Clivedon, Monkey Island and the Royal Adelaide Hotel.
All our bands for weddings are fully self-contained with their own PA, microphones, backline amplifiers and instruments. This works really well for most marquee or indoor weddings.
Let us know if you're expecting more than 250 guests, so we can check whether the act’s system is large enough.
Most bands will also bring lighting for both the stage and dancefloor.
Check the act's individual profile for more details and optional add-ons to enhance the show!
Most bands will be happy to learn and perform your first dance request – provided they think they can arrange it for their line-up and do it justice!
Check the act’s profile to see what they can offer and if they can’t do it live, they could just play it through their PA system using Spotify or an mp3 player.

Before you book more musicians for afternoon background music, check whether members of your party band can provide this – it'll save you additional costs, such as travel.
