Choosing the Right Wedding Band

| Genre / Style | What to Expect / Who it's Good For |
|---|---|
| Pop / Chart / Party Bands | These bands play modern chart toppers that everyone will recognise. If your wedding reception will have a mix of adults and children, these bands are ideal. |
| Soul & Motown / Funk & RnB | Think incredible musical talent, a combination of modern and classic disco songs, and talented musicians. |
| Rock / Alternative / Indie Bands | Rock bands are ideal for edgier weddings, while indie/acoustic duos offer a unique but relaxed vibe. |
| Acoustic / Jazz / String Ensembles | Ideal for classy weddings that are all about atmosphere. These musicians can create the perfect soundtrack for your ceremony or drinks reception. |
| Ceilidh / Folk / Traditional / Themed Bands | A unique idea for rustic or barn weddings. These bands can make your event unforgettable. |
Things to Consider When Choosing a Wedding Band in Ipswich:
Timing: Some people like the band to play some songs during their drinks reception or background music during the ceremony, while others prefer a two-hour set for the main reception.
Genres: The genre should match the style and tone of your wedding. While some people prefer cover bands or pop music, others might look for a more refined tone or niche band.
Extras: Some people choose to hire a private DJ for their wedding to provide ongoing entertainment.
Budget: Ipswich has a range of bands available for all budgets. Booking established bands with a UK presence may be more expensive.

FAQs
How far in advance should I book an Ipswich wedding band?
While there are plenty of wedding bands for hire in Ipswich, it's always a good idea to book your chosen band in advance. Leaving it to the last minute often results in disappointment. Once you secure your venue, you should reserve the band.
Will the bands bring a sound system and lighting equipment?
Yes, when you book a wedding band, the cost includes the lighting and sound system. However, some wedding venues in Ipswich may have restrictions on space or noise levels. Be sure to inform the band in advance if they need to bring additional equipment, such as sound limiters.
Can the band perform outside?
In most cases, yes. If you're planning an outdoor wedding, there are some logistics to consider. For example, the band will need shelter if it rains to protect their equipment. Hiring a gazebo ensures seamless entertainment.
How long does the band play for?
Most function bands play for a two-hour set - but many are willing to let you split their time into different sets. The band might play for half an hour during the ceremony, then perform a 90-minute set during your evening reception.
Can we make special requests for our first dance?
Any professional band should be willing to play your chosen song for the first dance. Please let the band know your first dance song in advance so they can learn it if necessary. It's also an excellent way to add new meaning to the track.
For example, a rock band can add some power to a slow ballad, while soul bands give any track more depth.
Do bands provide DJ services between performances?
Many bands offer a laptop DJ service that plays your chosen songs while they're taking a break. However, if you want to create the ultimate atmosphere, then hiring a private DJ or multiple bands to perform at different times can be beneficial - but it will cost more.
What happens if a band member becomes unavailable?
Most bands have backup musicians who will step in when needed, ensuring nothing interrupts your day. However, if there's an emergency and the band does need to cancel, we'll go out of our way to find suitable entertainment at the last minute.
Will bands travel outside Ipswich for the wedding?
Some bands prefer to stay local, while others perform across Suffolk. Ultimately, it depends on the band's preferences and whether they're willing to travel. Please be aware that there may be an additional charge to cover the band's travel expenses and accommodation costs, if necessary.
