Wedding Bands Cambridgeshire

The average cost of hiring a wedding band in Cambridgeshire is between £1700 and £2400. What affects the price you pay? Firstly, your quote includes all travel and accommodation costs for your band, so if you're trying to save money, look for bands who are based close to where you're getting married. The date of your wedding can also affect the price. Many bands offer off-peak discounts for events during January and February, and summer Fridays and Saturdays are always the most popular! Lastly, some bands are simply more popular or experienced than other bands and this is often reflected in their price.

No matter what type of music you're into, you'll find a band who plays it! Some bands specialise in certain genres of music but by far the most popular wedding bands in Cambridgeshire are pop and rock bands and acoustic folk bands, who play a wide-ranging repertoire from across genres and decades to appeal to guests of every generation. They'll play floor-filling party tracks that are guaranteed to keep your dance floor full!

If there are certain songs in your band's repertoire that you'd love to hear them play on the night, let them know! They'll work hard to curate the perfect playlist based around your choices. It's never usually a good idea to try and choose every song you want your band to play because as tempting as it sounds to do it, it rarely translates to a full dance floor. Our wedding bands have the experience needed to be able to read the room and choose songs they know will keep everyone glued to the dance floor. Trust the professionals and you can't go wrong!

They will! Unless otherwise stated, when you hire a wedding band from Warble, they'll play a live, unique version of your first dance wherever possible. And the best bit? They'll do it for free!

Most bands offer a full two hours of entertainment split into either 2x 60-minute or 3x 40-minute sets, with the former being the most popular option. An hour is a great length of time to build up momentum and create the ultimate party atmosphere for your guests. Then they get to do it all again after a short break.

While the band are offstage they'll play music through a laptop or tablet to keep everyone dancing until they return. This is known as a 'Playlist DJ Service'. Some bands offer an upgrade to this service and have a band member there to take requests. This is known as a 'Manned DJ Service'. Whatever band you choose to hire, there's no need to hire a DJ as well (unless you want to of course!)

There are so many fabulous wedding bands in Cambridgeshire to choose from so finding the perfect one for you can feel a bit daunting. That's where we can help! Just let your adviser know the date of your wedding, the type of music you want your band to play, your budget and style and they'll be able to help narrow down your options to make it easier for you to choose.

Yes you can! Lots of venues have sound limiters these days and most bands are able to play within the decibel restrictions happily by using electric drum kits or specialist drum sticks. It's imperative that you let your adviser know if your venue has a device fitted and what DB level it is set to. They'll then be able to recommend bands who'll be able to play for you without setting it off.

If you want to hire a wedding band for your evening reception but also want live music at your drinks reception then ask your adviser to recommend bands with daytime add-on options. Lots of bands offer feel-good acoustic sets for a small additional fee that are absolutely ideal as a musical backdrop for your daytime proceedings. This will nearly always work out much cheaper than hiring a separate act to play for you.

It's always best to hire any form of wedding entertainment as early as possible. The most popular wedding bands in Cambridgeshire get booked over two years in advance so to avoid disappointment, book as soon as you've secured your venue!

Your wedding band will normally arrive between 5pm and 6pm and start their sound check straight away. The sound check takes just over an hour for the average sized band and is actually surprisingly unobtrusive. Your venue should have a few tricks up their sleeve to ensure your guests are enjoying themselves away from the dance floor at this time. If not, many bands are able to arrive earlier to suit your schedule for a small additional fee.

Yes! Unless otherwise stated, all our wedding bands will bring their own professional PA and lighting equipment with them.
