Chester is a wonderful hub of wedding venues and our bands love to bring the party vibe to the city's couples.

Whatever you're imagining for your big day's celebration, our local wedding performers have what it takes to make it a reality!
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.
But let us know if you're expecting more than 250 guests, so we can check whether the band’s system is large enough. Most bands will also bring lighting for both the stage and dancefloor.
Check the band'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 group’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.
We know that lots of couples have a vision for different musical styles throughout their wedding day.
Our Chester wedding musicians include jazz bands, string quartets and a host of acoustic trios and duos to fit any part of your celebration.
If you’re looking for anything from a classical harpist to a solo wedding singer, we can help you customize the perfect entertainment for your day.

With a comprehensive list of string quartets and jazz groups we can provide anything from the dancefloor fillers to the more sedate and sophisticated.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Make sure you book a local band to your venue in Chester to make sure that you don't rack up any unnecessary travel costs.
Lots of our function bands also offer their services for acoustic sets during the afternoon - perfect for a drinks reception or similar. You can save money by using the same musicians throughout the day, to play at your ceremony, to welcome your guests to your venue and to set the party off in the evening.
That will again reduce any travel and accommodation costs you might get from using multiple bands from different locations.
Lots of our local bands also offer reduced rates during winter months and for weekday bookings - so, if you haven't set a date yet, you might want to keep that in mind to fit the budget you've planned!
