How it works
About Our Wedding Bands for Hire in Devon
Your wedding reception should be about celebrating your union, where guests can come together and dance all evening. Every wedding is different, and finding the right band is essential.
Our website has a range of exceptional musicians available for hire, including lively bands for your evening party and more laid-back options.
You'll find popular musicians that play modern pop covers, but we also cater for more niche preferences, including soul, jazz, hip hop, and indie bands that offer acoustic sets.
How much does it cost to hire a wedding band in Devon?
The cost of hiring a wedding band in Devon depends on the band's popularity and whether they need to travel. For example, local wedding bands can charge between £1,000 and £1,500. However, popular brands with a national presence may charge over £3,000.
No matter your budget, we'll help you find a suitable band that plays live music and creates an evening to remember.
What styles or genres of wedding bands are available in Devon?
You'll find a variety of wedding bands available in Devon, with professional musicians specialising in different genres. While some focus on filling dance floors with upbeat pop songs, others play romantic background music that sets a classy tone.
When choosing wedding entertainment, consider the type of celebration you're planning. For example, if you're going for a laid-back theme, an acoustic duo will set the right tone, while a wedding party band will play a combination of classic hits and modern hits.
How far in advance should I book a wedding band for a Devon wedding?
Devon is a stunning wedding location, thanks to its range of countryside venues. Many bands perform across the South West, so it's vital to book your chosen entertainment in advance to avoid disappointment.
We recommend booking the band as soon as you secure the venue. However, we'll help you source suitable entertainment if you're planning a last-minute wedding.
Can wedding bands in Devon travel to my specific venue?
Yes, and most bands will travel. However, if the location is hard to reach, providing them with clear directions is a good idea.
Do Devon wedding bands bring their own sound, lighting, and equipment?
All the best wedding bands in Devon will bring their own equipment, so you won't need to worry about logistics. Some wedding venues have space and noise restrictions, so the band must bring sound limiters and smaller equipment.
Please check in advance and inform the band beforehand so they can prepare.
How long do wedding bands typically perform at Devon weddings?
When you book a wedding band through FixTheMusic, they usually perform for two hours. But most of our talented musicians will let you split the time to suit your needs.
For example, some might play during the ceremony or wedding breakfast, then perform a set in the evening.
Can I request specific songs or a first dance performance?
Absolutely! Your first dance song should be a meaningful testament of your love, and the band will aim to make your event unforgettable. They'll also add some creative inspiration to the song.
For example, a band specialising in indie classics can add a chilled-out tone to a power ballad. Again, please let the band know about your first song in advance.
Do bands provide background/recorded music between live sets?
Yes, they can do. Most will provide a laptop DJ service, which means your wedding guests can continue dancing when the band takes a break.
Another great option is to hire a DJ who specialises in private parties, as they offer a more immersive experience than laptop DJ services.
What deposit is required to book a wedding band in Devon?
It depends on the band you choose. When you review profiles on our website, it will list the band's rate and their required deposit. This deposit secures the band and ensures they'll be available for your wedding.
What happens if a band member is ill or unavailable on the day?
It's rare for this to happen, but most bands have reserve musicians who will step in when needed.
Certain things, like bad weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances, might mean that the band needs to cancel, but we'll attempt to help you find a suitable replacement.
Is it possible to see the band perform live or in video before booking?
You won't be able to see a function band perform live at weddings or corporate events, because they're private parties. However, many bands perform at public events such as festivals, where you can see them live.
Our website also has videos and audio samples to evaluate whether the band meets your requirements.
What are the best wedding venues in Devon?
So many beautiful wedding venues are available in Devon, including Pynes House and Kingston Estate, which are countryside estates. If a romantic beach wedding is more your thing, Watermouth Cove and Tunnels Beaches are excellent options.

Reviews from local events in Devon
“Fantastic experience with booking Velvet Shadows for our wedding. Great communication throughout and very friendly and happy to discuss options and make changes. Brought fantastic energy all throughout the day! We booked the saxophonist who also played our drinks reception and really got the energy up and the party started! Very happy with the band the dance floor was never empty and the performance was fantastic!”
Booked Velvet Shadows for a wedding at Deer Park Country House, Weston, Honiton
“It is hard to overstate how excellent the Cardinals were at our wedding. Everyone at the party couldn't stop talking about how amazing they were and it kept the dancefloor packed all night. We could not be happier with the choice we made in booking them and would recommend anyone else does in a heartbeat. I am convinced they should/will be playing large festival stages at some stage. Special mention must go to the "Gimme, gimme, gimme (a man after midnight)" opening of their second set which was phenomenal.”

“Great band brought the best vibes to our wedding, wonderful communication throughout. Thanks guys! ”
“We booked The Sidekicks for our wedding and they were absolutely brilliant. The process before the wedding ran smoothly and was easy for us. Our guests all asked what they were called as they were impressed. They made sure everyone had fun and were flexible. The dance floor was full for the whole night!! Thanks again.”
“The band were INCREDIBLE! They had such high energy and kept the dancefloor full all night long - all of our guests said how amazed they were and how much they loved the music! Would 100% recommend!”
“You were totally amazing and we cannot thank you enough! Everyone loved your impromptu acoustic set outside and how you created such an awesome ambience! Thank you so so much, we hope we get to see you perform again in the near future.”
“Ibiza Vibes were amazing from start to finish, kept the party going throughout the night and nothing was an issue with them! Would highly recommend!”

“A massive thank you to Brooklyn Funk band who played at our wedding on Saturday in Devon – we had the best day and the band really made it for us! Marrying a musician meant picking a wedding band was always going to be difficult (he's very picky!) but we couldn't have found a better group of guys for the job. Our guests were all so impressed and haven't stopped raving about you. Your music kept the dance floor packed all night and your musicianship was top class. Thank you too for inviting my new husband up on stage to play, it truly was a night to remember!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better band for our wedding. Funkytown Express created such an amazing atmosphere from start to finish, and so many of our guests have told us how much fun they had thanks to the music. The set list was spot on, a perfect mix that kept the dance floor full all night, and they even managed to squeeze in a late request before the final song which meant a lot to us. They were also brilliant at accommodating one of our guests who wanted to sing, seamlessly backing them for two songs. Professional, talented and full of energy, we would recommend Funkytown Express to anyone looking for a band that truly makes the night unforgettable.”
“These guys were 10/10 at our wedding. Played during our reception to make a really incredible atmosphere, it was lively, happy, brought a great energy, and they were super professional. Massive thanks guys, can’t recommend more!”
Booked The Zingara Gypsy Jazz Band for a wedding reception at Higher Eggbeer Farm, Exeter, UK
“Off the Charts were professional and organised, providing us with the perfect music to accompany our wedding. In the lead up to the day, the band were great in accommodating our requests, and very flexible when unexpected drizzle changed the plans last minute! Would 100% recommend.”
“We booked the 8 piece band for our wedding in Exeter and we couldn’t say enough good things about them. They were simply incredible and our family and friends were talking about the band for days, if not weeks, talking about how good they were. Solid Gold have a great line up of musicians, we had the 8 piece but you could have a smaller line up and pick your favourite line up. We had the sax player as part of our band and she blew everyone away! They have a HUGE repertoire. It includes so many different songs and we picked our favourites. Suzanne is amazing! Quick to respond to any email, easy to communicate with and just plain lovely. We wanted a band to come self contained, and Solid Gold can be booked with their stage lighting and full PA/sound system, which was great. On the day, the band were simply amazing, they looked great, their performance was incredible. They were also interactive with the crowd which everyone loved. We didn’t want them to stop and we really wished we didn’t have a music curfew of 11.30pm! We love you Solid Gold! x”
