Oxfordshire wedding bands

Our Oxfordshire wedding bands perform a wide range of music styles, from classic rock and pop to modern chart hits, ensuring something for every guest.

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!

Our Oxfordshire wedding bands regularly perform at venues across the county, from Oxford city centre to the Cotswolds and surrounding towns.

With its rustic charm and prehistoric attractions, Oxfordshire offers a broad host of venues for a glamorous party.

We can provide bands in Oxford and throughout the county, including Abingdon, Banbury, Bicester, Burford, Carterton, Charlbury, Chinnor, Chipping Norton, Didcot, Faringdon, Henley-on-Thames, Islip, Kidlington, Oxford, Thame, Wallingford, Wantage, Watlington, Witney and Woodstock.

Our bands have played at Caswell House, Kirtlington Park, Old Luxters Barn, Skylark Farm, The Tythe Barn Launton, Ardington House, Lains Barn,Brinsop Court Manor House, Bredenbury Court Barns, Kingston Bagpuize House, Stone Barn, Milton Hill and Blenheim Palace, among many more.

Alongside evening entertainment, we can provide experienced Oxfordshire wedding musicians for your ceremony, drinks reception or wedding breakfast.

If you're looking for background music to accompany your drinks reception or wedding meal, try our jazz bands, acoustic musicians or singers.

If you're after Oxfordshire wedding musicians for the bridal entrance, exit or the signing of the register, our harpists or string quartets are a popular choice to make those moments extra special.

All our Oxfordshire wedding bands come fully equipped with professional PA systems, instruments and lighting as standard.

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 of our Oxfordshire 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 Oxfordshire, including ceilidh bands, jazz ensembles, brass bands and Latin or world music acts.

Check out our brass and drums bands for an increasingly popular and refreshing alternative to the classic Oxfordshire function band.

It's also worth browsing our soul bands, ceilidh bands and Latin & world music bands.

There are several ways to reduce the cost of hiring a wedding band in Oxfordshire without compromising on quality.

Before you book more musicians for afternoon background music, check whether members of your party band can provide this – it'll save you additional costs, such as travel.

If you haven't yet set your date, consider booking a midweek or winter celebration to take advantage of the most competitive rates.

Always consider hiring a band from your local area, to save on travel and accommodation costs.

We have acts based in most major towns and cities across the UK.

All our Oxfordshire wedding bands carry public liability insurance and use PAT-tested equipment, as required by most venues.

In the unlikely event that your Oxfordshire wedding band cannot perform, we have contingency plans in place to arrange a high-quality replacement.
