Wedding Bands East Yorkshire

Our wedding bands typically perform for around two hours, which is usually split into either two 60-minute sets or three 40-minute sets, depending on your preference and the flow of your big day. However, usually, bands are flexible and can tailor the performance time to suit your schedule. Whether you need shorter or longer sets, or even additional sets, we’ll work with you to ensure the music perfectly complements your wedding day.

The cost of hiring a wedding band in East Yorkshire can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the band, the duration of their performance, the date of your wedding, and the location of your venue. On average, 3-4 piece wedding bands range from around £1700 to £2,400, with smaller bands or solo performers typically being more affordable, and larger bands or those with a high level of experience commanding higher fees. It's worth noting that when you receive a quote from a wedding band, it is inclusive of all their travel and accommodation costs, so finding a band who hail from close to your venue is a great money-saving tip! We offer a wide variety of bands to fit different budgets, and our team is happy to work with you to find the perfect option that meets both your musical vision and price range.

Our wedding bands offer a wide variety of music styles to suit every taste and wedding theme. From classic pop and rock hits that get everyone dancing, to soulful Motown, jazz, and swing tunes that add a touch of elegance, our bands can cover a broad range of genres. If you're after something more specific, we have folk and acoustic groups for a rustic feel or even classical and instrumental musicians for a more traditional ceremony. The most popular wedding bands in East Yorkshire play a little bit of everything to suit guests of every generation.

When the wedding band is offstage, they ensure that the atmosphere stays lively by providing pre-recorded playlists of popular songs to play through their sound system during breaks, so the transition is seamless and there’s no lull in the fun. This is known as a 'Playlist DJ service". If you want to be able to make requests, lots of bands offer what is known as a 'Manned DJ service' where a member of the band is on hand to make your song choices a reality!

Yes, of course you can choose a few key songs for your wedding band to play, such as your first dance, a special song for your entrance, or any other moments that are meaningful to you. However, we recommend allowing the band to create their own setlist for the majority of the performance. Our bands are experienced professionals who know how to read the room, keep the energy high, and craft a flow that gets everyone up and dancing. Trusting them to curate the setlist ensures that the music transitions smoothly and keeps the party going all night long, while still incorporating your personal touch. It’s the perfect recipe for a fun and unforgettable celebration!

Yes, most wedding bands are more than happy to play your first dance song! In fact, it's one of the highlights of the evening for many couples. If your chosen song isn't already part of your band's repertoire, most bands are willing to learn your first dance song and the best part is, they'll do it for free!

Of course you can! If your venue is fitted with a sound limiter it's important to tell your adviser about it and which DB level it's set to. Once they're armed with this knowledge, they can find you a whole host of bands who will easily be able to perform within the restrictions. It's really easy to adapt a performance to make it sound-limiter friendly. A quick swap to an electric drum kit or a switch of drum sticks is usually all it takes, so there should be lots of bands available for you!

The most popular wedding bands in East Yorkshire often get booked up extremely quickly, especially during peak wedding season - sometimes up to 2 years in advance! Securing your entertainment early ensures you have a wider selection of available options. Don't miss your chance to book your dream wedding band because you've left it too late!

There are lots of bands available who also offer chilled out acoustic daytime sets that make for the perfect feel-good musical backdrop to your drinks reception. Hiring a band member to play an extra set for you during the daytime will always work out cheaper than hiring a separate act so it's a wonderful idea if you want entertainment throughout the day but don't want to break the bank. Not all bands offer this service so if this is something you're interested in, ask your adviser to recommend bands who do!

Your wedding band is likely to arrive between 5pm and 6pm to start their sound check. The sound check usually takes between 60 and 90 minutes and then your band will be ready to perform for you! If you'd prefer your band to arrive early, lots of bands are happy to do this for a small additional fee. Just ask your adviser to suggest bands who offer this service.

No. When you hire one of our East Yorkshire wedding bands, they'll arrive as a self-contained unit, with all their own professional PA and lighting equipment (unless stated otherwise.) So all you need to worry about is finding a comfy pair of dancing shoes - leave the technical stuff to the band!
