Our wedding bands in Leeds are ideal entertainment in any venue, whether you’re looking for a raucous rock’n’roll band or an uplifting soul band to keep guests dancing till dawn.
You can hire a band to play almost any style of mainstream music you want – from 50s rock’n’roll songs to mainstream hits by Beyonce to hits by Leeds natives Soft Cell, Chumbawumba and the Kaiser Chiefs!
All our function bands are fully self-contained with their own PA sound system, 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.
