Devon wedding bands from Function Central perform a wide range of live music and party songs — from timeless classics and modern crowd-pleasers to upbeat hits by Devon artists like Muse and Joss Stone — ensuring everyone stays on the dance floor all night.
Most Devon wedding bands from Function Central are happy to learn and perform your chosen first dance song, as long as they can arrange it well for their live line-up and deliver it beautifully on the day.
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.
All Devon wedding bands from Function Central arrive fully self‑contained with their own PA sound system, microphones, amplifiers, instruments and lighting for your wedding reception.
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.
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!
Function Central can provide professional live Devon wedding musicians for your ceremony, drinks reception or meal — from jazz bands and string quartets to harpists and classical guitarists — to create the perfect soundtrack throughout your special day.

Booking a Devon wedding band through Function Central gives you access to hand‑picked professional live bands and musicians, backed by expert support, secure contracts and a live music guarantee so your wedding entertainment runs smoothly from start to finish.
Our Devon function bands for hire have played at almost every sort of function, from birthday parties to bar mitzvahs, so you know you’re in great hands.
Most Devon wedding bands will require a soundcheck when they arrive at your venue — typically taking around 60 to 90 minutes to set up their equipment and ensure the live music sounds great for your wedding reception.
It is generally best if the performance space is free of guests during the soundcheck, but most bands can arrange a ‘noiseless’ line-check to keep the volume down if this isn’t possible.
All Devon wedding bands can play pre-recorded music from a device (theirs or yours) during intervals. Many bands can also upgrade to a more advanced service using virtual DJ software so that they can mix songs and take requests – check each band’s profile page for details.
If you simply can’t decide which Devon wedding band is right for you, call us on 0333 242 0560 or send us a message to tell us what part of your day you need music for, and your musical preferences, and we’ll be more than happy to suggest suitable acts.
In the meantime, you can read this handy guide on how to choose a wedding band.
If a band member becomes unavailable before your wedding, your Devon wedding band will arrange a fully-rehearsed substitute musician, so your event goes ahead without compromise.
In the unlikely case the entire band is unable to perform, we’ll work hard to find a replacement band (in a similar genre and price range) from our network of Devon and South West wedding bands, musicians and DJs.
Yes, all Devon wedding bands are fully insured and use PAT-tested equipment.
If your Devon wedding venue has a sound limiter, it can affect how loudly your wedding band is able to play — and if the limiter’s decibel threshold is set too low, some bands may need to adapt their setup or you may want to choose a line-up that works well within those limits.
Firstly, find out the limiter's threshold in decibels. If it's set to a threshold below 95 decibels, let us know immediately, as some bands will struggle to keep within this range. We can then find out if the band is able to substitute live drums for electronic drums, which will bring down the overall level of the band.
If the threshold is in the range of 80-85dB, this may limit your choice of bands to duos or acoustic set-ups. Get in touch and we can recommend suitable bands in Devon.
