Our wedding bands in London are experts at entertaining guests of all ages, and only the most professional, reliable and musically outstanding bands and musicians are accepted onto our books. If you're after live wedding entertainment in London, you won't find a better range of acts than ours!
Our bands would usually arrive at your venue from 5pm or 6pm and take 60 - 90 minutes to unload, set up and sound-check their equipment. It’s ideal if a room can be cleared whilst they do this, but it’s not essential – they can perform a “line-check” to test their levels if not.
They would then get dressed, eat and return at approximately 9pm to perform your first dance, and begin their sets. Most bands will perform for two hours – divided into two one-hour sets with interval music in between – though some bands can perform three 40-minute sets if preferred.
All of our bands can provide recorded interval music free of charge between their sets so the dancing never needs to stop. It also means if your favourite song isn’t in the band’s repertoire you can still hear it!
Most of our London wedding bands offer various booking options, including acoustic options for your wedding ceremony or breakfast and a DJ service soundtrack for your evening reception.

We also have bands in outer London boroughs such as Barking, Barnet, Croydon, Ealing, Kingston-upon-Thames, Richmond, Harrow, Havering, Merton and Newham. Most bands will travel UK wide and internationally.
