How it works
About Our Wedding Bands for Hire in Gloucestershire
Gloucestershire has a vast array of outstanding professional wedding bands to choose from. Wedding bands on FixTheMusic have performed at weddings in Gloucestershire for several high-profile individuals.
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!
Members of our live wedding bands have trained at some of the most renowned performing arts universities in the UK, including the Birmingham Conservatoire, The Royal Northern College of Music and the Guildhall School of Music & Drama.
Our wedding bands have performed at notable venues in Gloucestershire and the South West, including Manor by the Lake, Stone Barn, Clearwell Castle, Berkeley Castle, Cripps Barn, The Crown of Crucis Hotel, Elmore Court, Matara, The Kingscote Barn, Egypt Mill Hotel & Restaurant, Hyde Barn, Queens Hotel Cheltenham, Stonehouse Court Hotel, Eastington Park and The Great Tythe Barn, a Grade II 16th century barn located in the beautiful countryside.

You can submit an enquiry to receive offers directly from our hand-picked professional wedding bands in the Gloucestershire area. FixTheMusic is not an agency – 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.
How far in advance should we book a Gloucestershire wedding band?
Venues like Elmore Court and Cripps Barn are booked well ahead, especially on summer weekends. To secure the band you want, we recommend reserving 9–12 months in advance. For weekday weddings in quieter months, you may find more availability even at short notice.
What styles of music are popular at Gloucestershire weddings?
From pop and rock cover bands to jazz, Motown, folk and swing, there’s a wide range of styles. Rustic venues like Stone Barn or Kingscote Barn are ideal for acoustic or folk-inspired acts, while luxury hotels in the area often host larger showbands.
Do Gloucestershire wedding bands provide their own equipment?
Yes. Bands bring their own instruments, PA system, and basic lighting. If your venue has noise restrictions, such as sound limiters found in some Cotswolds barns, the band can adjust their setup to comply.
How long will the band perform for?
Most wedding bands in Gloucestershire play two hours of live music, split into two or three sets. Couples often schedule background music during the drinks reception or wedding breakfast before moving into the main party later in the evening.
Can our Gloucestershire wedding band learn our first dance?
Almost always. Our bands are happy to learn your first dance song as long as you give them plenty of notice. They may also be able to perform a special family song or rework a track to suit their style.
Will there be music during breaks?
Yes. Many Gloucestershire bands provide a playlist service between live sets, keeping the atmosphere lively. If you want a DJ to take requests and mix tracks, you can book one alongside your band.
Can Gloucestershire wedding bands perform outside?
Yes, especially at venues with gardens or marquee setups such as Hyde House or The Barn at Upcote. Bands will need shelter from rain and access to power.
How much do Gloucestershire wedding bands cost?
Rates vary depending on the size and popularity of the band, usually starting around £1,000 for smaller line-ups and ranging up to £2,500 or more for premium party bands.
Do Gloucestershire bands charge for travel?
Most bands include travel in their fee if they are local to the county. For acts travelling from further afield, additional costs may apply. Choosing a local band can help keep costs lower.
Can I see a Gloucestershire band live before booking?
Because most bands perform at private events, public showcases are rare. Some play at festivals across the Cotswolds or Cheltenham, so it’s worth asking. Otherwise, you can watch their high-quality videos and recordings online.
Do couples need to provide food and drink for the band?
It’s not essential but is always appreciated. Since musicians are usually at the venue for six hours or more, providing a hot meal and soft drinks helps them give their best performance.
