Wedding Bands Oxfordshire

The average cost of hiring a wedding band in Oxfordshire is between £1700 and £2400. The price you pay is affected by a number of factors including the size of the band, how far they have to travel, the date of your wedding and the band's popularity and experience.

When you hire a wedding band, remember to factor in how far they will need to travel to reach your venue as your quote includes the cost of transportation. If you're getting married in Oxfordshire, it makes great financial sense to hire an Oxfordshire wedding band!

The most popular wedding bands in Oxfordshire often get booked over two years in advance. For this reason we always recommend booking your wedding band as soon as you have your venue booked to avoid disappointment!

Of course we can! There are so many incredible wedding bands for hire in Oxfordshire so finding your dream band can often be like finding a needle in a haystack! If you let your adviser know the date of your wedding, your budget and the kind of music you'd like to hear on your big day they'll be more than happy to help you find your perfect match.

They will! We hear from so many couples that dancing to a live and unique rendition of their first dance song was the highlight of their day. And guess what!? Most wedding bands will offer to learn and play your first dance for free!

You'll find wedding bands that play music in pretty much every style of music you can think of, but by far the most popular wedding bands in Oxfordshire are pop and rock bands and acoustic-folk bands who play a little bit of everything. Why? With a varied setlist, guests of all ages can't resist the dance floor. Playing hits from every genre and every decade is a guest-approved recipe for success.

By all means, if there are a few songs in your band's repertoire that you really want them to play at your reception, let them know and they'll incorporate them into their setlist for the night. After that, we strongly recommend leaving the rest of the song choices up to the band. Their years of experience has taught them which songs work and which don't. Their ability to read the room will ensure that your dance floor is jam-packed full of happy guests, as they'll know which song to play and when to keep everyone on their toes.

Some bands offer a daytime service that is absolutely ideal for your drinks reception. Usually, one or two band members will play a laid back set filled with summery tunes to help create an easy-going atmosphere for everyone to get to know each other. Others offer chilled sax sets or even jazz ensembles! If you book a band who also offer a daytime add-on, it will always work out cheaper than hiring a separate act so it's a great way to save money. Ask your adviser to recommend bands who offer this service if you want to take your drinks reception to the next level.

While your band are taking a breather they'll play music through a laptop or tablet to keep everyone dancing and spirit levels high. This is known as a 'playlist DJ service. Some bands offer an upgrade to a 'manned DJ service' where a member of the band takes requests and others offer a full DJ service with mixing decks. Check your band's profile and add-on section to see which service they offer or ask your adviser if you're not sure. You won't need to hire a DJ though!

Most sound checks take just over an hour but can take up to three for very large bands or those with complex sound systems. Your wedding venue should have a few tricks up their sleeve to keep your guests away from the dance floor at this time and our bands are highly professional and will keep the sound check on the down low as much as possible.

No, when you hire one of our Oxfordshire wedding bands they'll bring their own professional PA and lighting equipment.

Wedding bands are usually on stage for a full 2 hours split over 2x 60-minute or 3x 40-minute sets. If your venue has a curfew past midnight or you just need more live music in your life, why not ask your adviser to suggest bands who offer a late finish or extra sets?
