FAQs
How far in advance should I book an East Midlands wedding band?
Wedding bands are in high demand during wedding season, so it's important to book as soon as you secure the venue. Most bands are booked weeks or even months in advance, so taking action early can prevent disappointment.
However, if you're planning an event at the last minute, we'll do everything possible to accommodate you and find suitable entertainment.
Can we choose our first dance song?
Absolutely. All bands understand that the first song is central to the wedding reception and will accommodate your request. Please let the band members know your chosen song in advance, as they may need to learn it.
Do East Midlands wedding bands bring their own PA sound system and lighting?
Yes, they do. When you pay for function bands, they bring their own equipment, including PA systems and lighting. If your chosen venue has noise restrictions in place, the band may need to bring specialist equipment, including sound limiters.
Do East Midlands bands offer acoustic music for drinks receptions or ceremonies?
They can do. It depends on your preferences. For example, when you book a band, you're usually paying for a two-hour set, but you can split this time as you see fit. Some people ask the band to play some background music at the ceremony, wedding breakfast and drinks reception, then a set in the evening.
Others prefer the full two hours during the evening reception as it keeps guests dancing and creates a party atmosphere.
Do East Midlands wedding bands travel to remote venues?
Most will, but it depends on whether they have access to transportation. For example, some bands rely on public transport, which can make it harder for them to travel to remote locations, while others might charge more if it means they need to find overnight accommodation.
Can we see the East Midlands band perform before booking?
All the bands on our website are professionally verified, so you can guarantee talented musicians for your wedding celebration. While you won't be able to see them perform live music at a wedding or private event, most have videos and audio samples that give you a clear idea of their sound.

“These guys were fantastic at our wedding. They did a couple of sets, 1 during the reception out in the sun playing some ska and reggae and then another set roaming around the tables. They were so good and really set the mood. Could not recommend highly enough!”
