About Our Wedding Rock Bands for Hire
We've curated the UK's best rock bands and made it easy for you to hire them for your next event – whether that's a wedding, birthday party, charity or corporate event.
What kind of songs do the rock wedding bands cover?
Our rock wedding bands will play all your favourite rock and pop covers from the 60s up until present day. They cover classic bands such as The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and The Beatles, through to Guns ‘n Roses, Bon Jovi, Queen, as well as Green Day, Foo Fighters, Oasis, Blink 182, The Killers and Kings of Leon.
Our rock bands pride themselves on their years of experience, keeping dance floors full by playing tune after tune that your guests will love.
What is the line-up / instrumentation of the rock wedding bands?
Most rock songs tend to be guitar-led – so naturally the majority of our rock bands feature electric guitar as one of the main instruments. They also have one or two singers, as well as bass guitar and drums.
Some of our rock wedding bands can also add a saxophone player to the line-up, perfect for filling out the sound and widening the band's repertoire.
Do the rock wedding bands have male or female singers?
The typical rock band features male vocals – this is usually because most classic rock songs are sung by male lead singers. We also work with numerous female-led rock bands, as well as rock bands with male and female vocals.
Where do the rock wedding bands perform in the UK?
Our rock bands perform at weddings throughout the UK. The majority are based in London, but there are also large collections of amazing professional rock bands elsewhere in the UK – including Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Essex, Bristol and Cardiff.
How long do rock bands perform for at weddings?
Most bands provide 2 hours of live music at weddings. This is normally split into 2 or 3 sets (e.g. 2 x 60 minute sets, or 3 x 40 minute sets). Some bands can perform for longer if required, but this is usually for an additional fee.
In between and after the rock band's live sets, most bands provide a "DJ service", so your entire evening of musical entertainment is covered. You can normally prepare your own playlist on Spotify or an iPod to play through the band's PA system at this point.
How much does it cost to book a rock band for a wedding?
The average price for hiring a rock band in the UK is £1,459. There are some superb professional 3-piece rock bands on FixTheMusic whose prices start at around £800 - £900. 4-piece rock bands usually start at around £1,300 - £1,650 and larger groups increase in price accordingly.
A general rule of thumb is that most rock bands charge between £300 - £400 per musician and the total cost of the band will depend on the number of musicians and singers in the band.
Reviews from local events in the UK
“Sam and the Manhattans were absolutely great, from the time we first inquired with the band through the last song of the night. Sam was very responsive and worked with us to create the perfect music backdrop for our wedding day. He learned our wedding song prior to us even booking! Which sealed the deal for us. The band performed our ceremony (piano/vocals), drinks reception (guitar/sax), and dance reception (full 5 part band) - and they crushed every single part. Sam and the band are super easy to work with, not to mention widely talented with a vast array of song catalogue. Easy pricing model as well, not all of this by hour/piece/timing/ etc. - 1 simple fee, very easy. Would 100% recommend hiring The Manhattans - I would definitely hire them again in a heartbeat. Thanks Sam and the band for making our day special!”
“The Manhattans are phenomenal! We couldn’t have wished for a better band, everyone is still talking about how great they were for our wedding. Thank you so much to all of you, you made my night absolutely perfect 🥰”
“Music and energy was amazing! All the guests loved them!! The band even accommodated our very last minute requests which made the night so special! Would absolutely recommend and definitely book the female singer and sax, as it made the night, and vocals were insane from everyone! Thanks Jon and Becks”
“The Hawks were brilliant at our wedding! They brought such an amazing energy to the evening and had everyone dancing. We had so many compliments from our guests about how good they were. We couldn’t have asked for a better band and would definitely recommend them!”
Booked The Hawks for a wedding at Avon Gorge by Hotel du Vin, Bristol, UK
“WOW...where can we begin?! From the moment we first spoke to them, they were always so professional and so open, hearing all our questions and requests. We went with the added sax player. On the day we were blown away by our first dance which the band learnt!! Loved the rest of the set list - a big highlight for us was Oasis and the "national anthem" (haha!). Our guests loved the band too and still telling me now how they were the best wedding band they have seen. Thank you so much, and thanks for bringing all the party vibes for us and our guests. From Ryan and Laura x”
“Amazing band for a great party! The music was brilliant and the atmosphere they created got everyone on the dancefloor. All of our guests loved them. It was also so easy to organised everything with them, great communication with them and between them and the venue. Thank you so much xx”
“Thank you so much for playing. The feedback from the delegates was great! Hope you enjoyed it.”
“You guys were absolutely awesome!!! Thank you so much for making our wedding night one to remember forever. Everyone is still talking about how amazing you were! Truly brilliant, and I honestly cannot recommend you enough to anyone wanting a band for any occasion. Thank you! From, Karen & Stu.”
Booked Up The Ante for a wedding at The Hub on Verulam Restaurant, Bar & Events Venue, St Albans, UK
“Just wanted to say a huge thank you for an amazing night on Friday. You guys really did play an integral part in making the night such a great success, and we’re really pleased you agreed to come along and be a part of the ball’s success for a second year. Hope everything worked well for you, and you felt looked after. Fantastic to see so many people on the dance floor throughout the night and until 1am. Hope you felt a good vibe too. Everyone was very complimentary of you and the band. Thanks again. Best wishes Paul.”
“Off The Charts were absolutely incredible at our wedding last week. They made the evening truly memorable and there wasn't a time during their entire set that the dancefloor wasn't full! "Best wedding band we've seen" was feedback we received from multiple people! Katy, the band manager who we liaised with pre-wedding, was also incredibly helpful in making sure everything ran smoothly and helped make sure the band were able to tailor their set towards our preferences. You won't be disappointed if you hire them for your event!”
“The best decision we made at our wedding was booking The Incognitos! They played such a great range of songs that got everyone up on the dancefloor. We've been going over our favourite memories from the wedding and nearly all of them took place during the band's set. They indulged some silliness (bride / groom on shoulders, a venue-wide conga), and even let us use their sound system to play a playlist on after. Also, they were super flexible with the setlist and communicated with us well. Couldn't recommend them more, thank you!”
“I booked the Manhattans on Behalf of a corporate client for a "festival themed" summer event. They were brilliantly professional, arriving punctually to set up and providing an acoustic roaming duo for the drinks reception and later the party band for 2 sets. They really got the crowd going and their energy was electric. The client was extremely happy with the event, in a large part down to the band, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!”
