Our South West wedding bands perform across the region, including Bristol, Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire.
The South West is full of breathtaking locations for a wedding and our bands have been lucky enough to perform at some of the best, including The Tythe Barn in Bath, Athelhampton House in Dorchester, and Orchardleigh House in Somerset.
Alongside evening entertainment, we can provide experienced South West wedding musicians for your ceremony, drinks reception or wedding breakfast.
Consider booking a soprano for your ceremony bridal entrance, a string quartet to keep guests entertained whilst you sign the register, a cocktail pianist for your drinks reception or even an acoustic band for your banquet.
All of our South West 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, so we can check whether the act’s system is large enough. It’s also important to give us a heads-up if you’re planning an outdoor or South West country garden party.
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 South West 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.
We offer a wide range of function bands in the South West, including ceilidh bands, jazz ensembles, brass bands and steel pan groups.
Hiring a jazz band is perfect for an outdoor reception in the summer – they are generally more compact than a party band making them quicker and easier to set-up, as well as having more control over noise levels.
They can also be adaptable for performing throughout the entire day, why not have them play smooth background jazz at your drinks reception and then turn up the volume for an all-out swinging party in the evening.
We also have a fine range of South West function bands including ceilidh bands if you’re looking for something fun for all the family.
There are several ways to reduce the cost of hiring a wedding band in the South West without compromising on quality.
Before you book more musicians for afternoon background music, check whether members of your party band can provide this – it'll save you additional costs, such as travel.
If you haven't yet set your date, consider booking a midweek or winter occasion to take advantage of the most competitive rates.
Always consider hiring a band from your local area, to save on travel and accommodation costs.
