Whether you and your guests want to sing your heart out to pop, rock and indie classics on the dancefloor, get down to some soul and Motown or shimmy the night away to our Latin and World bands, we have the musical solution for you!
As well as party performers, we have beautiful string quartets, exquisite jazz groups, solo wedding singers, tribute acts and brass bands to give your day a special edge.
Whatever style you're looking for, we're pretty sure we've found it!
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.
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.
