Wedding Bands Cumbria

The average price of a wedding band in Cumbria is between £1700 and £2400. When you hire a wedding band it makes the most financial sense to hire from as close to your wedding venue as possible to save on the cost of transportation. Other factors that will affect the price of your quote include the size of the band, the band's popularity and experience and the date of your wedding, with Fridays and Saturdays often costing a little more to match demand.

The most popular wedding bands in Cumbria are pop and rock bands and acoustic folk bands, who play a little bit of everything with their own twist on each song. This wide range of music is the key to keeping your dance floor full at all times as it suits guests of all age groups with every taste in music. Fancy something a little less mainstream? No problem! Other bands offer a more genre-specific focus with indie, punk and dance bands with DJs becoming increasing popular.

It can be sorely tempting to try and choose every song your band plays at your wedding reception. Unfortunately this never works well as the band know which songs are guaranteed floor-fillers and how to read a room to know which song to play next. By all means, if there are certain songs you'd love to hear them play, let your band know and they'll incorporate them into their setlist. But leave the rest of the song choices to the professionals - they know what they're doing and will ensure your dance floor is the only place to be!

It's always disappointing to find out that your favourite band is already booked for your wedding date. The most popular wedding bands in Cumbria get booked over two years in advance, so it's advisable to book your wedding band as soon as you've secured your wedding venue.

Most wedding bands are on stage for a total of two hours spread over 2x 60-minute or 3x 40-minute sets. Lots of bands offer extra sets for a small fee and others offer a late finish if your venue has a curfew past midnight.

The sound check for an average wedding band takes just over an hour. For larger bands or those with more equipment to test this can take up to three hours. The band members will do everything they can to keep the sound check behind the scenes so it doesn't interfere with at all with your special day. Your venue will also likely have a few tricks up their sleeve for keeping you and your guests away from the dance floor while the band are setting up.

There is no need to hire a DJ for the times your band are offstage. Bands provide what is called a 'playlist DJ service' as standard, where they'll play music through a laptop or tablet to keep your guests glued to the dance floor. Many bands offer an upgrade called a 'manned DJ service' where a band member is available to read the room and play song requests. A few bands offer a full professional DJ setup with mixing decks. Check what your band offer as standard and if they offer upgrades by checking their profile.

Yes. Unless otherwise stated, our bands will bring their own high-quality PA and lighting equipment with them.
