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. It’s also important to give us a heads-up if you’re planning an outdoor or South West country garden party.
Most bands will also bring lighting for both the stage and dancefloor.

Most of our South West wedding bands are happy to learn and perform your first dance song, provided it suits their line-up and style.
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.
We offer a wide range of function bands in the South West, including ceilidh bands, jazz ensembles, brass bands and steel pan groups.
Hiring a jazz band is perfect for an outdoor reception in the summer – they are generally more compact than a party band making them quicker and easier to set-up, as well as having more control over noise levels.
They can also be adaptable for performing throughout the entire day, why not have them play smooth background jazz at your drinks reception and then turn up the volume for an all-out swinging party in the evening.
We also have a fine range of South West function bands including ceilidh bands if you’re looking for something fun for all the family.
