Our Oxfordshire wedding bands cover every conceivable kind of
music, and most keep up to date with all the latest hits.
For an exciting, sing-along show that everyone will enjoy, hire a band playing rock and pop music through the decades – these acts will usually learn your favourite song, too!
We can also provide wedding music for your ceremony and reception, including string quartets, harpists, pianists, guitarists and acoustic acts.
If you’re entertaining an eclectic crowd of culture vultures, hire a local band playing world music, Jamaican steel pan, ska, country or French chansons to impress your guests!
All our 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.
But 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.
