Boasting more musicians per metre than characters in a Jane Austen novel, Derbyshire is bursting with artistic talent that promises to set your wedding celebrations apart from the rest.

If mainstream isn't your thing – how about hiring a Latin band, a salsa band or a Caribbean steel band?
We supply live wedding music to fit every pocket, and our local bands can adapt their sound to fit your venue perfectly – whether you’re having a grand opening at a theatre or a wedding reception in a shoebox.
What's more, if you find a wedding band on another agency, we will match their price, leaving plenty of your budget left over for the rest of your plans.
Our Derbyshire wedding bands regularly perform at venues and locations across the county, from stately homes to village halls.
Our Derbyshire wedding bands have played at a host of classic Derbyshire wedding venues, including Chatsworth, Bolsover Castle, Tissington Hall, Heaton House Farm and Donnington Park.
They've also pitched up at most of the towns across the county, including Derby, Chesterfield, Swadlincote, Ilkeston, Long Eaton, Belper, Dronfield, Buxton, Ripley, Staveley, Glossop, Heanor, Bolsover, Eckington, Shirebrook, Matlock, New Mills, Killamarsh, South Normanton and Clay Cross.
Alongside evening entertainment, we can provide experienced Derbyshire wedding musicians for your ceremony, drinks reception or wedding breakfast.
Check out our classical wedding musicians for elegant ceremony music. For the drinks reception, why not book a wedding singer/Rat Pack tribute act to create a cool and glamorous atmosphere.
All of our Derbyshire 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 band’s system is large enough. Also give us a heads-up if you’re planning an outdoor or garden party wedding so we can ensure the band has all they need to perform.
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 of our Derbyshire wedding bands are happy to learn and perform your first dance song, provided it suits their style and line-up.
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.
If you’re looking for something beyond pop, we offer a wide range of function bands in Derbyshire, including ceilidh bands, jazz groups and steel pan ensembles.
Check out our brass and drums bands for an increasingly popular and refreshing alternative to the classic Derbyshire function band.
It's also worth browsing our wedding soul bands, ceilidh bands and Latin & world music bands.
There are several ways to save money when booking a Derbyshire wedding band within budget without sacrificing quality.
Before you book more musicians for afternoon background music, check whether members of your wedding band can provide things like ceremony music – it'll save you additional costs, such as travel.
If you haven't yet set a 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 bands based in most major towns and cities across the UK.
All of our Derbyshire wedding bands carry public liability insurance and use PAT-tested equipment as standard.
In the unlikely event that your Derbyshire wedding band cannot perform, we have contingency plans in place to arrange a suitable replacement.
As an agency we offer round the clock support, meaning we can quickly sort out a replacement band member or Derbyshire band.
