Why not hire a harpist or classical guitarist to accompany the bridal procession and a string quartet to entertain guests whilst you take your wedding photos?

Rat Pack style singer can be a great warm-up for the main act later on.

Do your Nottingham wedding bands bring their own sound and lighting equipment?

All our Nottingham wedding bands come fully equipped with professional PA systems, instruments and lighting as standard.

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!

Can your Nottingham wedding bands learn our first dance song?

Most of our Nottingham 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.

Can you provide other types of function bands in Nottingham, such as ceilidh, steel pan or jazz bands?

We offer a wide range of function bands in Nottingham, including jazz ensembles, steel pan groups and Latin bands.

To keep an energetic crowd dancing, you could hire a ceilidh band, big band or Latin band.

How can we save money on our wedding band?

There are several ways to save money when hiring a wedding band in Nottingham without compromising on quality.

Before you book more musicians for afternoon background music, check whether members of your 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 celebration to take advantage of the most competitive rates.

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.

Do your wedding bands have insurance and PAT-tested equipment?

All of our Nottingham wedding bands carry public liability insurance and use PAT-tested equipment, as required by most venues.

What happens if the wedding band cancels or a musician is ill?
