Most of our Cotswolds wedding bands play a wide range of mainstream pop music from all eras. You can expect to hear floor-filling songs by artists as diverse as Stevie Wonder and The Beatles to Dua Lipa and Lizzo.
Saying that, if you prefer to hear more rock and indie than mainstream pop, we'd recommend choosing a 3 or 4-piece band featuring vocals, guitar, bass and drums.
If soul and Motown is more your bag, then look for larger line-ups featuring keyboards and brass. The exact line-up and song list for each band is listed on their profile pages.
Yes. All our Cotswolds wedding bands are fully self-contained with their own PA sound system, microphones, backline amplifiers and instruments.

Perhaps surprisingly, there's a wealth of musical talent residing in this Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and we've brought you the best local bands available.
In fact, The Cotswolds can claim a rich musical history, with artists such as Gustav Holst, The Rolling Stones' Brian Jones, The Who's Keith Moon, and Blur's Alex James all residing here.
With this combination of romantic landscapes and musical expertise, why would you get married anywhere else?!
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.
