How Much Does a Hertfordshire Wedding Band Cost?

Hiring a wedding band is an affordable way to add that wow factor to your dream wedding. Prices range from £850 to £3,000, and are generally influenced by:

  • The band's popularity and size.
  • Any special requirements, like travel or extra equipment.

What if My Wedding Band Is Not in Hertfordshire?

While Hertfordshire has plenty of amazing bands on offer, if you have your eye on a particular one that isn't specifically located in the area, don't stress! Many of the talented musicians on FixTheMusic are willing to travel (even internationally!), regardless of where they are based.

When you find a band you love, enquire about their availability and share the details of your special day, including the venue's location. You'll then receive a quote that includes the band's travel expenses and other costs.

Do Hertfordshire Wedding Bands Perform at Outdoor Venues?

Most bands are happy to perform outdoors, whether you're celebrating in a garden, having a sophisticated starlit private party, or saying "I do" at the Welwyn Garden City estate.

However, you'll just need to ensure there is enough set-up space, especially if the band has an electric drum kit. Additionally, as the weather can be unpredictable, check with the venue beforehand for alternative options and ask about access to power.

Can the Band Play Background Music?

Of course! Most professional bands offer softer sets for a laid-back atmosphere for your morning wedding or drinks reception. Then, they'll ramp up the energy later to get the party started on the dance floor!

Will the Band Play My Favourite Song?

The best Hertfordshire wedding bands love playing special songs! Reach out with your request when booking to give the band time to perfect it - and give you a chance to practise your smooth moves!

It's also worthwhile checking the playlist on your band's profile, as your favourite may already be listed.

How Far in Advance Should I Book My Band?

Good question! The best bands get booked fast - often months or even a year in advance. If you're looking for in-demand wedding bands, especially for peak wedding season, it's best to secure your Hertfordshire wedding band as soon as possible.

To make planning easier, each band profile on FixTheMusic allows you to check availability for your event date.

How Much Time Does the Band Take to Set Up?

Set-up times vary but are usually between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours. The following factors affect the set-up times:

  • Size of the band: Bands for hire come in many sizes. An acoustic three-piece band will be ready faster than a 10-piece show band.

  • Accessibility: Getting equipment to the performance area easily and access to power (if necessary) can affect prep times.

  • Optional extras: Setting up special lighting, extra speakers, etc., takes longer.

How Long Will the Band Play For?

Every band has different performance times; however, it normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours. Typical sets are:

  • 3 x 40 minutes
  • 2 x 1 hour

Hertfordshire wedding bands perform for as long (or as briefly) as you like. Only want live music for your drinks reception? Done. Want a party band that takes you from the first dance through dinner to the dance floor? Done. Wedding bands bring exactly what you want for the perfect celebration.

Some bands also offer a DJ service between sets or an after-hours playlist. However, keep in mind that an all-night-long party will cost more, so remember to specify your preferences for a customised quote.

What Kind of Music Do Wedding Bands Play?

Every live band has their own style and expertise, but all the crowd favourites are usually included.

Some bands will happily play everything from hip-hop and rock 'n roll to club classics and contemporary pop; others have a more genre-specific style. So, it's important to pick a band that plays what you're looking for.

The good news? There's a perfect live band for you, whether you prefer face-melting guitar solos and a packed dance floor or timeless classics for a slow-dance to remember.

What if a Band Member Can't Make It?

Don't worry, wedding bands for hire will not let you down! Every band has a network of professional musicians and singers to cover all contingencies. The show always goes on, and your Hertfordshire wedding will be everything you dream of.

Will a Wedding Band Play at Other Events?

Yes, wedding bands don't only pack the dance floor at weddings. They are function bands that play at all types of events, like:

  • Corporate events
  • Charity functions
  • Birthday parties
  • Festivals
  • Launches
  • And everything in between!

Where Can I Find a Band for My Hertfordshire Wedding?

FixTheMusic makes finding your perfect wedding band that much easier. Every band has a profile page where you can see playlists, read reviews, and watch sample videos. Enquiring for a quote and shortlisting your favourites also couldn't be more straightforward.

Say "I do" to live music that will make your big day even more beautiful - hire your Hertfordshire wedding band today!

Reviews from local events in Hertfordshire

We booked Turn Of The Century for our wedding and the booking process was easy via FixTheMusic. Communication with the band a few weeks before our wedding was excellent and on the day they created a great atmosphere and got everyone on the dancefloor. They were fab and I'm so happy with the music they provided!

We can’t recommend The Tourists enough! Lost count of how many guests commented on how brilliant the band was! Every song in their set was banger after banger, and everyone had such a fab time! Si was also so great in the booking and planning stages!

The Tourists were absolutely incredible at our wedding and really helped to make it a special day. We’ve lost count of the number of guests who have told us how much they enjoyed their performances. Si and Lloyd’s acoustic set during the afternoon was excellent and helped create a brilliant atmosphere at our drinks reception after the ceremony. The full band performance in the evening, starting with the first dance and then moving onto a full set list was then exceptional. They read the crowd brilliantly, and nobody wanted to leave the dance floor. Thank you!

We had the 6 piece band (with sax) for our wedding at Ashridge House. The band were amazing. Music was a very important factor for us and booking a band without seeing them live is a big leap of faith. You can trust Beats & Beyond to deliver an incredible performance. Joe from Beats & Beyond was very easy to communicate with, responding promptly to all questions and providing us with all the details we needed ahead of the big day. They provided everything they needed (lighting + sound), so there were no hidden costs or arrangements that needed to be made by us separately. On the day, Beats & Beyond arrived on time and were ready to kick the party off with the first dance right on schedule. They did a beautiful version of I Believe In A Thing Called Love, which sounded exactly how we hoped it would! They incorporated our requested songs in their sets, as well as adding in some classics that really got the dance floor jumping. Thank you for providing the music for our big day! James & Vicky.

What can I say about Steph’s voice… the minute we heard her voice we knew she had to sing at our wedding ceremony and the drinks. Her voice is as smooth as butter (I even said this to her haha). The band is versatile, sang popular and classic songs as chosen between us in advance, and set up seamlessly during turnarounds between events and rooms on the wedding day. Sincerely think you guys are rockstars and made my ceremony the most romantic and beautiful one I’ve attended myself! Romance exists… especially with the perfect music :) Can’t wait to have you again next weekend, this time I’ll sit and enjoy your music!

Si and the guys were absolutely amazing! They made the day for us - the song choices were great and then the execution was incredible. We had so many people in our wedding party saying all the same things. They managed to fill the dance floor the whole time! Would highly recommend, and looking forward to our next excuse to hire The Tourists!

What else can we say about the Roaming Folks that hasn't already been said? What an incredible trio. We have so many great memories from the afternoon and evening...even an impromptu version of 'Singin' in the Rain' when the heavens briefly opened. 'Like a Virgin', 'King of the Swingers' and 'Freed From Desire' were particular highlights for us and our guests. Our venue wasn't particularly big, so they were the perfect band for both inside and out. Their choice of songs, flexibility and ability to judge the vibe and crowd were excellent and so many of our guests told us how much they loved them. When the time came for our amplified evening set, for example, rather than just start, as everyone was outside, they adapted and serenaded us first...brilliant! They really were everything we hoped for and so much more for our wedding. Really stand up guys as well. Without doubt, the best wedding band we've ever seen and so much more, as we were entertained from start to finish, and you could tell that's what they absolutely love to do. Thank you so much for making our wedding day even more special!

We had Beats and Beyond perform at our wedding and they were absolutely outstanding. The band arrived with plenty of time to set up and everything was completely hassle free. They started with a quick sound check and even played some music for the DJ while getting everything ready which kept the atmosphere going nicely. Once they began their set they were brilliant from start to finish. They had everyone up on the dance floor singing and dancing all night. The variety of songs they played was spot on, appealing to all our guests, and it meant so much that they learned and performed our wedding song especially for us which was a really lovely touch. With the DJ sets in between, the flow of the evening was perfect. We honestly could not have been happier with their performance. They truly made the evening so special and memorable. Highly recommended.
