You were all amazing, please pass this on to each member of the band
Hi Mark, just wanted to say a massive thank you for playing at both of our events. You were all amazing, please pass this on to each member of the band who played too. Everyone we have spoken to, have all said how professional and great the band were! Thank you for doing the additional final song, that really put the cherry on top of the cake for us! Both singers were absolutely fantastic too. We would definitely consider for the future and would recommend to anyone. Thank you again, Jacob, Sue and Max.

You really took it to the next level and it was better than we could have ever dreamt!
Hi James, We wanted to write to thank you SO much for making our wedding so amazing!! You really took it to the next level and it was better than we could have ever dreamt! I’m sorry we didn’t get much time to actually chat on the night. But I am quite sure you will be requested back in Malta soon, we have had SO many people asking for your details and saying how great you all were :) Hope you enjoyed your little stay in Malta too! Thank you again, Lisa & Jonas.
The Old School 90s Band were simply brilliant...
The Old School 90s Band were simply brilliant. They recently played at our wedding and were the best band a couple could ask for. From the moment they were booked, Thom was pleasant, courteous and above all fun. On the day they set up quickly and seamlessly with no fuss at all. Then the set, it was incredible. The dance floor was full throughout and everybody complimented that this was the best band they’d heard at a wedding. Thank you so much to Thom, Alice, Nana, Connor, Kaveh and Dan...you were amazing. Love, Max & Lulu.
Exeter Wedding Band FAQs
Are there any wedding bands actually based in Exeter?
Yes. True Craft are based in Exeter with 5 verified reviews on our platform. One couple booked them after seeing them play at a night out in Exeter six years earlier: "We knew we wanted this band at our wedding ever since we saw them on a night out six years ago, and they absolutely lived up to the hype. The energy they brought was unreal, the dance floor was packed all night."
How far in advance should we book?
Most confirmed bookings at Exeter venues in our data were placed 12 to 18 months ahead. Peak wedding months at Exeter venues are July and September, with Saturday dates booking first. If your wedding falls in peak season, enquiring a year ahead gives you the widest choice of bands. For last-minute bookings, bands will sometimes still have availability, especially for Friday or weekday dates.
Can we have an acoustic set during the day and a full band in the evening?
Yes, this is a common request from Exeter couples. A Pynes Hill enquiry asked for "a smaller acoustic set in the afternoon" alongside the evening band, noting "the space is quite small so I think couldn't fit a huge band." The Upshots confirmed at The Great Barn Devon offered a cocktail hour duo alongside the evening party, and The Tourists quoted £350 for a solo set and £615 for a duo at Clyst St Mary.
Can we book a band for an outdoor or festival-style wedding?
Several Exeter enquiries mention outdoor or festival-style celebrations. The Upshots at The Great Barn Devon offered a full outdoor cocktail hour. If you're planning an outdoor celebration, mention it in your enquiry so bands can advise on power supply, cover and weather contingencies.
What if we want a DJ alongside the band?
Many Exeter enquiries specifically ask for a DJ in between or after the band's live sets. Soul Central includes playlist music before, between and after live sets until midnight as standard, with a 6-piece at £3,650 up to a 9-piece at £5,000. The Deep End include a Spotify playlist between sets through the band's PA, with their 4-piece indie rock quote at £2,299.
