How it works
Berkshire Wedding Bands for Hire – Frequently Asked Questions
When should we book a Berkshire wedding band?
Venues like Cliveden House and Coworth Park are in high demand, so booking your band 9–12 months in advance is recommended for summer Saturdays. If your date is midweek or out of season, you might have more flexibility, but early booking ensures you secure the act you want.
What types of music are popular at Berkshire weddings?
Couples often choose upbeat party bands for evening receptions, while acoustic duos, string groups and jazz trios are popular for ceremonies and drinks receptions. From Motown and funk to indie and rock, Berkshire bands can cover a wide variety of genres.
How long do Berkshire wedding bands usually perform?
Most bands offer around two hours of live music, divided into two or three sets. You can schedule a shorter set earlier in the day and save the main performance for the evening celebration.
Can Berkshire bands learn our first dance song?
Yes, almost all wedding bands in Berkshire are happy to prepare your chosen first dance. Many couples enjoy hearing a familiar track reimagined in the style of their live band. Just give them plenty of notice to rehearse.
Do Berkshire bands bring their own sound and lighting?
Yes, professional acts provide their own PA system, instruments and basic lighting. For larger venues or marquees, additional sound equipment may be recommended. Some venues in towns like Windsor or Reading may have noise restrictions, so check with your venue in advance.
Can Berkshire wedding bands perform outdoors?
Yes, as long as shelter and power are available. Outdoor celebrations at venues like Ufton Court or Wasing Park are popular, but protection from rain or strong sun is essential for the band’s instruments.
How much does it cost to hire a wedding band in Berkshire?
Smaller acts may start from £900, while premium party bands or showbands can range from £1,500 to £3,000 or more. Prices vary depending on the size of the band, their popularity and travel requirements. The best wedding bands in Berkshire will always tailor their quote to your event and requirements.
Is it possible to see a Berkshire band before booking?
Because weddings are private, it’s rare to see them at a live event. However, many play at public festivals or local venues in Reading, Newbury and Windsor. You can also watch their live performance videos to get a feel for their style.
Will there be music during breaks?
Yes, most bands offer a playlist service between sets. If you’d like a more interactive DJ experience, you can hire a professional DJ alongside your band for non-stop entertainment.
What happens if our Berkshire wedding band cancels?
Cancellations are very rare. Most bands work with deputy musicians who can step in if needed. If an unforeseen issue arises, FixTheMusic will help you secure a replacement act quickly.
