For a wedding in the South West, you can't get a more romantic backdrop than the county of Somerset. And it's not all cider and rustic charm. The city of Bath is a World Heritage Site known for its stunning Georgian architecture and Roman baths and Weston-Super-Mare is famous for its traditional seaside pier.
Our Somerset wedding bands perform a wide range of music styles, from classic rock and pop to indie, folk and modern chart hits, ensuring something for every guest.
Our ceilidh bands are ideal for barn weddings, popular in the rural landscape of Somerset. For a more modern rustic knees-up, hire an indie folk band in the mould of Mumford and Sons, think hale bales, cider and throwing some serious shapes.
Our Somerset wedding bands regularly perform at venues and locations across the county and the south west.
They play regularly at all the county's best-known venues, such as Orchardleigh Estate, The Tythe Barn, Woodlands Castle and Priston Mill.
In fact, they've rocked every corner of this idyllic, pastoral county, including Bath, Weston-super-Mare, Taunton, Yeovil, Bridgwater, Frome, Portishead, Burnham-on-Sea, Clevedon, Nailsea, Keynsham, Chard, Street, Midsomer Norton, Minehead, Wellington, Wells, Shepton Mallet, Radstock and Glastonbury.
Alongside evening entertainment, we can provide experienced Somerset wedding musicians for your ceremony, drinks reception or wedding breakfast.
From singers, harpists and string quartets for the medieval Wells Cathedral to classical guitarists for elegant Georgian townhouses, we have a wide range of Somerset wedding musicians for you to choose from.
After the ceremony, hire a jazz band to create a classy, upbeat atmosphere at your drinks reception.
Once the mingling is done, take it up a notch and add a swinging, Rat Pack style vocalist.
All of our Somerset 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 or you’re planning an outdoor or Somerset garden party, 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 of our Somerset 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.
