Wedding Bands Devon

It usually costs between £1700 and £2400 to hire a wedding band in Devon. There are a number of factors that affect the price of hiring a band. Bigger bands generally cost more money and the price also increases with how far the band needs to travel to your venue. It makes a lot of sense to try and hire a band from Devon if you're getting married there to save money. The date of your wedding might also affect the price of hiring a band, with Fridays and Saturdays in the summer and big celebrations such as Christmas and New Year at a premium. More popular and experienced bands will also charge more due to the high demand for them.

By far the most popular type of wedding bands in Devon are pop and rock bands. They play a crowd-pleasing selection of music from across genres and decades to keep guests of all ages glued to the dance floor. Folk-inspired bands have similar repertoires but give each song a fresh and folky twist. Most wedding bands will play big party songs as they are guaranteed to get people dancing. If you'd prefer something a little different, don't despair. You'll find punk, jazz and dance bands as well as everything else you can imagine in our huge roster of entertainment so you'll find exactly what you're looking for.

We strongly advise booking your wedding band as soon as you can. The most popular wedding bands in Devon get booked over two years in advance so don't delay when it comes to securing your dream band.

Our friendly team of expert advisers will be able to recommend bands who are available on your wedding date, who fit in with your budget and who play the style of music you love.

They will! Many couples report that having a unique rendition of their first dance performed live was the highlight of their wedding day. Nearly all our bands will learn your first dance for free and it's an excellent way of personalising your special day.

When choosing which wedding band to book, take a look through each band's repertoire to check that they play songs you'll want to get up and dance to at your wedding reception. By all means let the band know if there are any songs you'd particularly like them to play, but after that we'd strongly advise you to let the band take care of the rest. Years of experience will have taught them which type of songs are going down well with your crowd and they'll be able to choose songs that are guaranteed to keep your dance floor bouncing all night long. When you put your trust in the professionals you really can't go wrong!

Many bands also offer a daytime service that is absolutely ideal for helping guests to ease into your big day. There's nothing like a laid back Live Lounge-style performance to help break the ice and get the conversation flowing. Not all bands offer this service, but if this is something you're interested in, check the add-ons section of a band's profile or ask your adviser about the services on offer. Booking daytime music this way nearly always works out much cheaper than hiring a separate act so it's highly recommended.

Most wedding bands will play for a total of two hours, usually over 2x 60-minute or 3x 40-minute sets depending on whichever suits your schedule best. Many bands offer extra sets or late finishes if you're one of the lucky few to have booked a venue with a late curfew.

All bands will need to complete a sound check when they arrive between 5 and 6pm. It usually takes just over an hour but can take up to three for large acts or bands with lots of additional sound and lighting equipment. The band members are highly professional and are absolute pros when it comes to keeping the sound check as unobtrusive as possible. Your venue should have great ideas for keeping guests out of earshot too. If not, the sound check is actually quite exciting to hear and gets guests' toes tapping ahead of your reception so they'll be ready to dance from the very first chord! Many bands will arrive early for a small fee if it helps fit better into your day.

All our Wedding bands in Devon will provide music through a tablet or laptop to play during the break between sets and up until curfew. This is called a playlist DJ service. Many bands offer upgrades such as a manned service, where a member of the band will be there to take requests and play music they know will keep your guests on the dance floor. A few bands offer a full DJ service with professional DJ and mixing decks. Check your band's profile and add-on section to see what they offer, but rest assured, you definitely don't need to hire a DJ!

Yep! When you hire a wedding band with Warble, you don't need to worry about sourcing any PA or lighting equipment as the band will bring all that with them. Whoop!
