A standard party band set-up is at least one lead vocalist backed by
anything from 3 to 8 musicians.
A guitar-based band is great for rock and indie anthems, choose a band with synths if you’re wanting 80s classics, or a band with a brass section for some funk and soul.
Take a
look at our South East wedding band profiles to see footage of our bands at work.
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.
