FAQs

Do I Get To Choose The Songs My Live Wedding Band Performs?

Let’s get something straight; all our wedding bands are exactly what you want them to be! The bands need to be flexible, because unlike specific concerts where an audience expects a certain sound and style, at Weddings – such as weddings, birthdays, and other special celebrations – the guests could be from several generations. You need to make sure that they all have a great time. So, wedding bands need to get the balance right, to be able to adapt and read how a wedding party is progressing.

Wedding bands primarily play the favourite tracks from a musical genre. So, if you have booked a Rock & Roll band, for example, perhaps specialising in 1970s and 80s sounds, you could rightly expect to hear cover songs from Bruce Springsteen, Queen, Dire Straits, Elton John and maybe Rod Stewart. When you book through Warble Entertainment we make sure that you are happy with the playlist and are confident that the band you choose can offer the variety that your guests will love. The very best bands will read the room and our advice is to trust their experience in getting the party started!

How Long Before My Event Should I Book A Wedding Band?

There is nothing worse than seeing people miss out on the perfect party band because they left things just that bit too late.

Most bands that do this professionally are booked up a year or two in advance of the event date. Our exclusive Wedding bands are among the most popular in the UK and are extremely busy.

If your Wedding falls on a busy peak summer date, we recommend booking your Wedding band as soon as possible. Ideally, the second you have your venue booked, you should be aiming to book one of the many professional live wedding bands we have to offer!

How Long Does A Live Wedding Band Perform For?

Live bands will always work with you to provide a seamless entertainment package to keep your evening reception lively all night!

When you hire a wedding band for the first time, you might be wondering how long their sets are and what's involved. Whether it's a soul band, a standard party band with male and female vocals, or incredible soul bands, most professional acts will structure their sets with live music split into 2 or 3 different sets.

These will be either 3 x 40 minutes or 2 x 60 minutes.

This is great but you might also be thinking, what's the difference and which is better for a function band? Three shorter sets or two longer indie rock n roll sets? Our advice is almost always to go for 2 longer sets if that works with your schedule.

A wedding band playing live will have an easier time keeping the atmosphere electric and getting guests involved if they are able to keep the momentum up. Having three shorter sets might feel like more value, but it is often a bit scattered. However, roaming bands and other function band styles can work better in shorter bursts of entertainment, but this is often best left to the daytime or early evening to warm things up.

What Are The Most Popular Styles Of Professional Wedding Bands For Hire?

Whether you are hiring wedding bands, a party band, or a corporate Wedding band, you can rest assured that you will have a plethora of choice when it comes to live music styles and genres.

Almost every single genre you can imagine is on offer with our incredible cover bands.

Modern rock, a classic soul band, hip hop, swing bands, motown bands, indie rock, rock n roll, pop classics and so much more from our function bands. Rock & pop is without a doubt the most popular Wedding band style, and is always guaranteed to get guests on the dance floor! A typical Wedding band's repertoire will of course include a mix of songs to keep everyone entertained.

With a choice of male and female vocals, the best live wedding bands for hire will have something for everyone. As professional musicians, with sound and lighting equipment included (as well as a DJ package to keep the atmosphere going), they know exactly how to keep guests dancing all night long at your evening reception!

You can also hire acoustic singers, soul bands, saxophonists, folk bands, jazz bands, roaming bands, local wedding bands, and even sound limiter-friendly live bands that are set up to deal with noise restrictions and any noise limiter you may encounter at a Wedding venue.

We also have wedding entertainment for your daytime including, String Quartets, Wedding Harpists, Saxophonists, Wedding Pianists, Wedding Guitarists, Acoustic Wedding Bands and more. Check out your desired band's profile to see what they offer!

To keep costs manageable, we recommend shortlisting party bands that are near to your location. This will keep travel costs, and any potential accommodation costs down to a minimum.

You can also hire acoustic musicians and other live wedding entertainment for background music during your wedding celebrations. Our bands play throughout the entire day and your function band can provide musicians as part of a roaming band during the drinks reception, or a lively party band for your evening entertainment.

Can A Function Band Learn Our First Dance Song?

Of course! Nothing sets the tone for a magical wedding quite like a special first dance. Whether it's a classic ballad or a modern chart-topper, you want it to be perfect. So, you might be wondering, can your chosen band or musical act learn your first dance? The answer is a resounding "yes!"

Many talented musicians have the ability to learn and perform virtually any song you desire. They understand the importance of this moment and will work with you to ensure that the music is everything you've dreamed of. You can provide them with the song's title and artist, and they'll do the rest.

In fact, some bands even specialize in wedding performances and have an extensive repertoire of love songs and first dance favorites. So, whether you want a classic like "At Last" or a contemporary hit like "Thinking Out Loud," they've got you covered.

So, rest assured that your chosen musical act will be more than happy to learn your first dance. All you need to do is communicate your desires with them, and they'll take care of the rest. Get ready to dance the night away!
