Wedding Bands Leicestershire

The average cost of hiring a wedding band in Leicestershire is between £1700 and £2400 depending on the size of the band and the distance they have to travel to your venue. It's always worth trying to find a band who are based close to your venue as your quote includes all their travel and accommodation costs, so search local!

Wedding bands play music in all sorts of different genres and styles. Some specialise in specific genres so rest assured - whatever type of music you like to listen to, you'll find a band who plays it. The most popular bands are pop and rock bands and acoustic folk bands who play a little bit of everything to lure guests of every age group to the dance floor. Hiring one of these types of bands is a guaranteed way to keep your dance floor pumping!

Most wedding bands are more than happy to chat with you to discover your musical preferences and if there are any songs you'd really like them to play from their repertoire, they'll include them in their setlist for you. It's always a good idea to leave the rest of the song choices to the band. Their experience and know-how will have taught them how to read a room and drop songs that act as magnets to the dance floor. Leave it to the professionals and everyone will be dancing all night!

Yes! Most wedding bands are happy to learn and play your first dance for you and they'll usually do it for free! Dancing to a unique rendition of your special song is a great way to personalise your big day and create magical memories you'll never forget.

The best wedding bands in Leicestershire are incredibly popular and can often get booked over two years in advance! For this reason we always recommend booking your wedding band as soon as possible - usually as soon as you've booked your venue. Don't wait too long then miss out on your chance to secure your perfect band.

Most wedding bands take to the stage for a full two hours. This is usually split into either 2x 60-minute or 3x 40-minute sets, depending on whichever suits your schedule best. Some bands offer extra sets and some offer additional daytime sets as well!

Wedding bands normally arrive at your venue between 5pm and 6pm and begin setting up immediately. The sound check takes between 60 and 90 minutes on average and is surprisingly unobtrusive. Your venue should be able to recommend ways of hosting your guests away from the dance floor at this time, although the sound check can also raise excitement levels for what's to come!

While your band are taking a well-deserved break, you and your guests can carry on dancing - don't worry! Nearly all bands provide what is known as a 'playlist DJ service' as standard, where music is played through a laptop or tablet to keep spirits high. Many bands will allow you to choose which songs are added to this playlist. If you fancy being able to make requests, look for a band who offer a 'manned DJ service' for a small upgrade fee.

Many bands offer a variety of acoustic daytime options that create the perfect musical backdrop to your drinks reception. Usually, one or two band members will be available to serenade your guests with a chilled out, Live-Lounge style set of summer songs while they mix and mingle. Not all bands offer this service so ask your adviser to recommend those that do or check out the extras section on the bands' profiles when choosing your favourite.

Of course you can! Sound limiters are incredibly common these days and as a result, most bands can easily adapt their performance to conform to their requirements. With the use of electric drum kits or specialised drum sticks, the volume can be reduced with no detriment to the sound quality. It's important to tell your adviser if there is a sound limiter installed at your venue and what DB level it's set to. They'll be able to recommend a wide range of bands who'll be able to perform for you with no worries the sound will cut off!
