Our brass bands are frequently hired to perform at weddings in the UK. One of the most popular requests is for the band to accompany the bride and groom after the marriage ceremony from the church to the reception venue. This marching brass band procession is the perfect way to celebrate a brand new marriage, with a big, loud fanfare! And if you want to evoke the spirit of New Orleans, then our brass bands are the perfect accompaniment for a second-line wedding parade.
The brass band can also perform during the ceremony itself, by providing some light music during the signing of the register, while the bride walks down the aisle or as the couple exits the venue.
Following the ceremony, many of our brass bands also provide background music during the afternoon drinks reception. A brass band is perfectly suited to performing outside – making them an ideal choice for a summer marquee wedding in the British countryside.
Later into the evening, hiring a brass band for the party is a unique and exciting option for the wedding reception. No boring cover bands playing the same songs they've heard at every other wedding they've been to that year! Our modern brass bands normally provide 2 x 45-minute sets at this part of the day, either on a stage or at the front of the party. In between these live sets, most brass bands can provide a DJ playlist service – or you may need to hire a separate DJ to fill in the gaps between the live music and to finish the party later into the night.
We really hope you enjoy using FixTheMusic. If you have any feedback for us, please get in touch. Otherwise, read more about FixTheMusic, browse our FAQs or read our blog to find helpful articles, research, insights, definitive guides and much more!
There is a huge range of prices for brass bands for weddings in the UK, but for events in 2024 it's generally about £300 - £400 per performer, so roughly £1,200 - £1,600 for a brass quartet and £1,500 to £2,000 for a brass quintet. All brass bands on FixTheMusic consist of professional musicians who have trained at prestigious music colleges and perform at events for a living.
Some brass bands may be able to offer a discount if your wedding is outside the summer season or on a weekday. Brass bands may charge more for a roaming performance as it requires more rehearsal time and stamina, as opposed to a static or "stage" performance in one location.
As well as weddings, our brass bands have vast experience performing at corporate events, charity fundraising events, public events and parties at pubs and clubs throughout the UK.
Our contemporary brass bands play covers of modern music from the 90s to present day, including pop, rock, soul, R&B, hip hop, UK garage and modern reggae. Artists they cover include R Kelly, Dr. Dre, Adele, Bruno Mars, The White Stripes, and many more!
