All our Leeds wedding bands come fully equipped with professional PA systems, instruments and lighting as standard.
This works really well for most marquee or indoor weddings. Let us know if you're expecting more than 250 guests or are planning an outdoor or garden party wedding, so we can check whether the act’s system is suitable.
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 Leeds 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.

There are several ways to reduce the cost of hiring a wedding band in Leeds without compromising on quality.
Before you book more musicians for afternoon background music, check whether members of your wedding band can provide this – it'll save you additional costs, such as travel.

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.
