Wedding Bands Norfolk

The average cost of a Norfolk wedding band is between £1700 and £2400. Several factors can affect the price of hiring a band, including the size of the band, how far they have to travel, their popularity and experience and the date of your wedding. Fridays and Saturdays in the summer months are super-popular so often incur a premium. We'd recommend hiring a band from as close to Norfolk as possible if that's where you're getting married to minimise transportation costs - it just makes financial sense!

The most popular wedding bands in Norfolk get booked over two years in advance so our advice is to book your band as soon as you can after booking your venue to avoid finding out that someone else has booked them on the date of your wedding.

Whatever your taste in music, you'll find a wedding band who plays it. However, by far the most popular wedding bands in Norfolk are pop and rock bands and acoustic folk bands who play a little bit of everything. This is definitely the best way to keep guests of all ages on their toes.

Wedding bands are highly experienced and know exactly which songs are guaranteed to attract your guests to the dance floor. On top of that, they're able to expertly read the room and drop the perfect song at the right moment to keep everyone there. If there are a few songs in their repertoire you'd really like them to play then let your band know and they'll include them in their setlist. It's highly recommended to leave the rest of the song choices to the professionals. You can't go wrong!

Many couples report that hearing a unique rendition of their first dance played by their wedding band was the highlight of their entire day. What a great way to personalise this special moment! Nearly all wedding bands will offer to learn and play your first dance for free. Perfect!

If you'd love live music at your drinks reception as well as in the evening, by far the cheapest way to achieve this is to hire a band who offer a daytime add-on. This usually means that one or two of the band members will treat your guests to a chilled out Live Lounge-style set for a small additional fee - much cheaper than hiring a separate act. A lot of bands offer this service but not all so ask your Warble adviser to recommend bands who do if this is something you're interested in.

Most wedding bands perform for a full 2 hours, spread over 2x 60-minute or 3x 40-minute sets to suit your schedule. Some bands offer extra sets for a small additional fee and others will stay until 1am if you're one of the lucky few to have booked a venue with a late curfew. This info is displayed on each band's profile but you can always ask your adviser to recommend bands to you that offer these services if you'd like to book them.

For the average band, the sound check takes just over an hour. All our bands are professionals and will take the greatest care when it comes to ensuring it's as unobtrusive as possible. Your venue should know the best way to keep your guests out of earshot as well so it shouldn't have any impact on your special day.

No, you don't need to hire a DJ as well as a wedding band as all bands will provide music between sets, played through a laptop or tablet. This is called a 'playlist DJ service' and is the most common way to keep your guests on the dance floor while the band are taking a breather. Other options include a 'manned DJ service' where a member of the band is on hand to take requests and a few bands may offer a full DJ service with mixing decks. To see what your favourite band offers when it comes to being offstage, check the highlights section of their profile.

Whichever band you hire, they'll bring their own PAT tested professional PA and lighting equipment, so there's no need to source anything technical at all.
