Whether you’d like a soul wedding band for a huge reception at Silverstone, or a jazz trio to entertain a few friends in a tent in the Peak District, we’ll find the right wedding entertainment just for you!
Typically our Nottinghamshire wedding bands play all the best-known rock, pop, soul and Motown hits from across the decades – enough to please any crowd and keep guests of all ages entertained.
We can provide a huge range of acts from small 3-piece guitar-based bands for clients on shoe-string budgets, right through to 10-piece showbands for lavish evening parties.
All our bands for weddings 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.
All the bands listed here are suitable for after-dinner dancing, but if you’re looking for acts to perform for your ceremony or reception, our selection of Nottingham wedding musicians is second to none.
Why not hire a harpist or classical guitarist to accompany the bridal procession and a string quartet to entertain guests whilst you take your wedding photos?
A Rat Pack style singer can be a great warm-up for the main act later on.
