Wedding Bands Aberdeen for Hire

Booking your wedding band in advance is always a good idea, as the most popular musicians are in high demand. Once you secure the venue, you can choose your band - and reserving them a few months in advance will avoid disappointment.

However, if you're planning a last-minute wedding, our team will attempt to find suitable entertainment for you.

The rate you see for most wedding bands is usually for a two-hour set, but you can split this set into different performances. Some people like the band playing live music during their ceremony and drinks reception, then performing an hour-long set in the evening.

Please let the band know how you wish to split their time before the event to ensure that they can accommodate you.

Yes, they can. Whether your first dance song is one of the timeless classics or something more quirky, the band will accommodate your request. Each band will also bring their unique sound to the table, meaning your first dance song will take on a new meaning.

For example, imagine a classic pop ballad with a jazz band that features a live sax, or an acoustic band that will bring the lyrics of your favourite song to life. Just ensure you give the band plenty of notice, as they might need to learn the song.

Yes, they do. The band will bring all necessary equipment, including instruments and a PA system. It's important to check with your wedding venue regarding any restrictions that may be in place. For example, venues in residential areas might have noise restrictions, and the band will need to bring sound limiters.

Available space can also be an issue, but planning ensures the band can bring their energy to your event and fill the dance floor.

The bands on our website play at weddings and events in Aberdeen and Scotland. While you won't be able to see them playing live at a wedding or corporate function, you can view videos and audio samples to understand whether it's the right fit for your wedding day.

Some bands may also play at live music events, including festivals, so you can attend them and see them in person.

Yes, you can ask the band to provide a laptop DJ service, where they'll play your favourite tracks during breaks. If you want to create unforgettable memories for your guests and ensure a fun-filled wedding, you can also hire a professional DJ who will play once the band finishes.

The average wedding band in Aberdeen charges around £1174 for a two-hour set. However, popular bands may charge over £2000. You'll find a range of bands available on our website at different rates, ensuring you can choose the perfect wedding band for your budget.

In most cases, no. Bands based in Aberdeen won't need to charge for accommodation or travel, so there won't be any extra costs. However, if the band is based in Scotland or the North East of England, they may increase their rates to account for travel expenses and overnight stays.

Ultimately, it depends on your chosen band, but Aberdeen has plenty of talented local musicians for your big day.

Professional bands usually have backup members in place to ensure they don't need to cancel in the event of an illness or other unforeseen circumstances. However, if the band needs to cancel, please contact us, and we'll help you find a suitable replacement.

When choosing a function band, it's important to consider your preferences. For example, some prefer bands that play specific songs from their chosen genre, while others enjoy flexible bands that take special requests.

Bands playing modern music are popular because everyone knows the songs, but if you prefer retro songs, a tribute band is a great option. When you use our website, you can filter your search by genre and choose a band that aligns with your preferences.

This includes opting for male or female lead vocals or choosing a combination of both.
