About Blackpool Wedding Bands
Blackpool has long been known for its lively entertainment scene, from the iconic Tower Ballroom to the glittering lights of the seafront. It’s also home to some fantastic wedding venues, including The Village Hotel and The Imperial Hotel, making it a popular spot for couples who want both history and fun on their big day.
Whether you’re after a high-energy party band to fill the dance floor, a soulful group for an elegant reception or an acoustic duo for something more intimate, you’ll find it here on FixTheMusic.

How it works
About Our Local Wedding Bands for Hire in Blackpool
Blackpool has a vast array of outstanding professional bands to choose from.
Our local wedding bands are selected by invitation only, and all are highly recommended by previous clients based on several factors, including quality, professionalism, punctuality and the ability to get wedding guests dancing.
At FixTheMusic, wedding bands provide quotes directly to you – FixTheMusic is free for event planners to use. You can submit an enquiry to get offers directly from our hand-picked professional wedding bands in the local area.
You are always in direct contact with bands via our messaging system. When you've made your choice, you can book and pay securely on FixTheMusic.
Outstanding professional musicians
Members of our live wedding bands in Blackpool have trained at some of the most renowned performing arts universities in the UK, including the Guildhall School of Music, The Royal Northern College of Music, the Royal College of Music, the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama.
Our wedding bands have performed at notable venues in Blackpool, including The Imperial Hotel, Hotel Sheraton, Best Western Glendower Hotel, Singleton Lodge, The Villa Country House Hotel, Bartle Hall Hotel, Meols Hall Tithe Barn and The Bold Hotel Bar & Grill.
As they are in such high demand, many of our wedding bands already have bookings up to two years in advance at some of the venues above.
Bands on FixTheMusic have public liability insurance and PAT tested equipment.
When should we book a Blackpool wedding band?
We recommend securing your band as soon as your venue is confirmed. Popular Blackpool spots like The Winter Gardens or The Glass House often host multiple weddings each weekend, so the best bands are booked well in advance, especially for summer Saturdays.
How long do most Blackpool wedding bands play for?
The standard setup is two hours of live music, often split into two or three sets. Many couples choose an acoustic performance earlier in the day followed by a full band show in the evening.
Can the band learn and perform our first dance song?
Yes. Most bands will be happy to rehearse and perform your first dance live, provided they have enough notice. If the song doesn’t quite fit their style, they’ll often suggest playing the original recording instead.
Do Blackpool bands provide their own sound and lighting equipment?
Yes. Professional groups bring instruments, PA systems and basic lighting. Some venues along the seafront may have sound restrictions, so it’s always worth confirming details with both your venue and your band before the big day.
What happens if the band takes a break?
Most bands provide a playlist or “laptop DJ” service to keep the atmosphere lively while they rest. If you want a more tailored experience, you can also hire a separate DJ to complement the band.
Can we see a Blackpool band perform live before we book?
Bands mostly perform at private events, but some may appear at festivals or music nights around Lancashire. Every act on FixTheMusic also has videos and recordings on their profile to give you a clear sense of their performance style.
What is the cost of hiring a wedding band in Blackpool?
Prices usually start from around £1,000 for smaller acts and can rise to £2,000 or more for larger or highly in-demand groups. The size of the band, travel and performance length will all affect the total fee.
Do we need to provide food and drinks for the band?
It’s not mandatory, but offering a hot meal and soft drinks is greatly appreciated. Bands are often on-site for several hours and a meal helps them stay energized for the evening performance.
What if the wedding runs late?
Experienced musicians understand that timings can shift. Most will adapt where possible, but if the finish time extends significantly past midnight, there may be an extra charge.
How do we choose the right Blackpool wedding band?
Think about your venue and the atmosphere you want to create. For glamorous spaces like The Empress Ballroom, a showband or Motown act adds drama. For a relaxed marquee or countryside wedding just outside the town, an indie or folk band can set the perfect laid-back tone.
