About Our Wedding Bands for Hire in Birmingham
How far in advance do Birmingham couples book their wedding band?
Based on the 237 Birmingham wedding enquiries we've received on FixTheMusic in the last 4 years, most couples start their search around 8 months before the wedding date. Those who go on to confirm a booking tend to plan further ahead — closer to 10 months — so it's worth starting early if you have a specific band or sound in mind.
What's a realistic budget for a Birmingham wedding band?
Most couples enquiring through FixTheMusic in the Birmingham area have a maximum budget of around £1,100. Looking at our confirmed bookings for the region, actual prices typically land between £1,467 and £2,350 depending on the size of the band, with a median of £1,979. If your budget is tighter, a duo, trio or acoustic act is worth considering. Our booking data shows these typically start from around £470–£600.
Does band size make a big difference to the price?
Yes. Solo performers and duos in Birmingham typically cost £470–£650, acoustic trios around £1,600, and a full 4–6 piece wedding band £1,350–£2,350. Ceilidh bands and larger showbands or luxury acts can run from £2,700 up to £11,000+, depending on the act and the length of the performance.
When is peak wedding season in Birmingham?
In our Birmingham booking data, June and August are the two busiest months for weddings, closely followed by July and September. Together, these four months make up almost two thirds of all wedding enquiries we receive for the region, so bands get booked up fastest for summer dates.
Are there local Birmingham bands we can book?
Yes. The Score, a Birmingham-based pop and rock covers band, is one of the most popular local acts with 31 verified reviews. EmSax, also based in Birmingham, is a popular choice for couples who want a live saxophonist as part of their day.
Can we book a band for a specific venue, like Hampton Manor or Highbury Hall?
Yes. We've had confirmed bookings through FixTheMusic at Birmingham and West Midlands venues including Hampton Manor in Solihull, Highbury Hall in Moseley, The Bond on Fazeley Street, Hogarths Hotel in Dorridge, Newlands Bishop Farm in Solihull and Thorpe Garden in Tamworth. Many of our bands are already familiar with the layout and requirements of these popular local venues.
Do Birmingham wedding bands only play typical wedding music?
Not at all. We regularly place bands and DJs for couples looking for something different from the standard setlist, including high-energy rock and ska bands, ceilidh bands for village hall weddings, acoustic and jazz duos for drinks receptions, and open-format DJs for a continuous, high-energy dancefloor.
What if our venue only allows acoustic performances?
This is common at some country house venues in the Birmingham area. We have acoustic duos and trios, including jazz and string acts, who are set up to perform without amplification and are used to working within venue restrictions like this.

Reviews from local events in Birmingham
“We had this band play at our wedding and they were absolutely incredible. They got in touch beforehand to go through our song likes and dislikes. The communication was great and the performance was even better. I would definitely recommend them to anyone else looking for an upbeat and interactive band to get everyone going. Lovely guys too!”
“We had The Anthem Band play at our wedding on Sunday and just... WOW!! Exceptional band - amazing vocals and guitar solos, great set and wonderful interactions with the guests... such nice guys. All our guests were very impressed and had a great night. The image of my flower girls’ ‘interpretive dancing’ will stay with me forever!! Thanks, guys! X”
“Best band ever! Every guest at the wedding...this is all I heard all night. What a fab job you guys did. The music could not have been better. I am so happy with what you did for our first dance song....you totally rocked it! Thank you so much, Dan & Laura.”
“Just wanted to thank the Miami Nights boys so much for playing at our wedding on Saturday. They are such lovely, professional people, not to mention AMAZING musicians. We literally could not have asked for any more. The dance floor was full and no one wanted them to stop, except the vicar next door!!! They also have a few more female admirers to add to the already enormous pile I should imagine. I would have no hesitation in booking them again or recommending them to absolutely everyone. Thanks again, wishing them loads of luck in their future endeavours. Em & Rob x”
“Thank you very much for performing at our wedding yesterday. You were all awesome! We have received so many compliments from our guests about Soul Republic. You made our evening reception perfect. We would not hesitate to book you again and will be recommending you to all our friends and family for any future weddings or party functions.”
“Absolutely Amazing! Everything we imagined and so much more! Perfect entertainment for our guests whilst enjoying drinks and afternoon tea. Since our wedding day we have been in touch with our guests and it was lovely to hear that they enjoyed the band so much! They absolutely loved them!! A massive thank you.”
“Can not recommend highly enough!! The Incognitos are absolutely amazing! They had us all dancing all night long, we didn’t want them to stop playing. The booking process was easy, excellent communication and very flexible with requests! Will definitely be asking for their availability for our next party!”
“Brooklyn Funk were just awesome at our wedding in June this year, they made the whole experience even more memorable. They supplied live music for our drinks reception and the sets they played for us on the evening were amazing, they had everyone dancing and left us chanting "One more song". We would definitely recommend them for a wedding. Rob & Lizzy.”
“Picking a band for your wedding is always nerve-wracking, but without a doubt we couldn’t have picked a better group if we’d tried!! The music was spot on, the guys all looked the part (which went down perfectly with our tipi theme) and the dance floor was full! What more could you ask for?! We had the full band and, having not actually heard the demo beforehand, they exceeded our expectations. They also learned one of the songs from the bride’s Dad’s glam rock days to surprise him which went down a storm! Communication leading up to the day was great and George even took the time out to come and find us on the day to chat in between sets! Don’t think twice! Book these guys, they are a fantastic group and we would have them again in a heartbeat!”
“Just wanted to say a huge huge thank you for playing at our wedding on Saturday! You were absolutely amazing and everyone loved you! Such a talented and professional group and very flexible on the night. During the wedding we had so many people commenting on how great you were and that's continued in the days after, which truly is testament to how much everyone enjoyed you. You managed to get the dance floor packed which was exactly what we wanted. Cannot recommend highly enough!!”
“Thanks guys!! What a fantastic night it was. You were every bit as brilliant as your videos. You completed an already magical day for Sam and I, thank you so much. We’re keeping an eye out for any public venues you are playing as we would love to see you again – either that or we are booking you again for our 1st Anniversary. You guys are fab xxx big hugs from Mrs Moxey.”
“Played at the wedding of a friend of mine and were excellent. Highly recommended. Handsome bunch too.”
