How Long Do Wedding Bands Typically Perform at Weddings?
Most Kent wedding bands perform for about two hours, typically arranged as 2 × 60-minute sets or 3 × 40-minute sets. Bands usually arrive one or two hours early to set up and time their performances to match important moments in your reception schedule.
They often provide a "laptop DJ service" to maintain the perfect atmosphere throughout your celebration.
Do Kent Wedding Bands Provide Their Own Sound and Lighting Equipment?
Yes, professional bands bring their own sound and lighting equipment. This includes PA systems and basic lighting setups. All our wedding bands at FixTheMusic have public liability insurance and PAT-certified equipment.
If you have any specific requirements, discuss them with your chosen band beforehand.
Can We Request Specific Songs for Our Wedding?
Absolutely! Kent wedding bands love playing special song requests. Most bands are happy to add a song or two to their playlist, especially for significant moments like your first dance! Share your requests in advance so they have time to practice.
Do We Need to Provide Food and Drinks for the Band?
Yes, it's standard practice to provide each band member with a hot meal and refreshments, like soft drinks or water. It doesn't have to match your guests' menu, but sharing a buffet makes planning easier. Alternatively, ask your wedding venue about possible wedding supplier meal options.
How Much Space Does a Wedding Band Need at the Venue?
It all depends on the band's size and equipment. Aim for a minimum area of 4 x 5 metres for a smaller 3 or 4-piece band. A bigger band needs more space. For example, a 10-piece live band with several wedding musicians, plus a drum kit, microphones, keyboard, and a mixing desk takes up a lot more space than a single acoustic violinist.
Confirm space requirements with your local Kent wedding band and venue ahead of time so things run smoothly.
Do Wedding Bands in Kent Require a Deposit?
Yes, securing your booking requires a deposit. Your selected wedding band will provide a secure payment link. Please note that for celebrations scheduled within 45 days, full payment is required upon booking.
Can Wedding Bands Also Provide a DJ Service?
Many Kent wedding bands have laptop DJ services with downloaded playlists between their live sets to keep the music and good vibes flowing. If you also want an exclusive DJ for more crowd participation, you can hire both through FixTheMusic.
What Happens if a Band Member Is Unavailable on the Day?
All of the best wedding bands in Kent have contingency plans! Each band has a network of professional musicians who can step in if needed, ensuring your celebration proceeds flawlessly regardless of unexpected circumstances.
Can Wedding Bands Perform at Outdoor Weddings in Kent?
Yes, many Kent wedding bands often perform at outdoor weddings, especially in spring and summer. The only requirement is access to shelter in case of unpredictable weather.
Please check with your venue beforehand, as some Kent wedding venues may have restrictions on outdoor performances or sound limit rules.
Can We See the Band Perform Live Before Booking?
Most likely not, as Kent wedding bands play at private functions. However, some bands occasionally play public shows where you can experience them live.
The most effective way to evaluate a band's style and energy is through their professional profiles, which feature high-quality audio/video samples and client reviews.

Wedding days are notoriously hectic and schedules can run late. Simply keep your band informed of any delays as soon as possible. Most Kent bands show excellent flexibility and will adjust their performance schedule accordingly to get the dance floor filled as quickly as possible. If you ask them to stay longer, there will be additional fees.
