How it works
About Our Wedding Bands for Hire in Leeds
When should we book our Leeds wedding band?
It’s best to reserve your band as soon as your venue is confirmed. Leeds is one of the region's busiest wedding hubs, and the best wedding bands in Yorkshire can be booked up 12–18 months in advance, especially for summer Saturdays.
What styles of wedding bands are available in Leeds?
From modern pop and rock groups to jazz, funk, soul, and Motown bands, Leeds offers a wide variety of talent. You can also find acoustic duos for intimate celebrations and high-energy party bands that specialize in getting everyone on the dance floor.
Which Leeds venues are popular for live music?
Venues like The Mansion, The Tithe Barn at Bolton Abbey, and The Queens Hotel are well-known for hosting live performances. Each has excellent acoustics and space for professional sound setups.
How long do wedding bands perform?
Most bands play for around two hours of live music, typically split into two or three sets. You can tailor their performance to your schedule. Some couples even include a short acoustic set during the drinks reception before the main party begins.
Can our band perform the first dance song live?
Yes. Most bands are happy to learn and perform your first dance song live. Just share your choice in advance so they have time to rehearse. They can also adapt the song’s style, for instance, turning a pop hit into a soulful or acoustic rendition.
Do Leeds wedding bands bring their own equipment?
Yes, every professional band provides a full sound system, instruments and lighting. If your venue has volume restrictions, they can adjust their setup accordingly or use electronic drum kits to keep sound levels low.
Can we see a band perform live before booking?
While wedding bands typically perform at private events, you can view their FixTheMusic profiles for live performance videos, song lists and verified client reviews. Some acts also play at public shows or local festivals. It’s always worth asking.
What’s included in the band’s quote?
Most quotes cover travel within the Leeds area, setup, soundcheck, two hours of live music and a playlist between sets. Any additional costs, such as overnight stays or extended sets, will be clearly listed.
How much does it cost to hire a wedding band in Leeds?
You can expect to pay around £1,200–£2,000, depending on the size and popularity of the band. Acoustic duos and trios are usually more affordable, while larger bands with brass sections or multiple vocalists will cost more.
Will the band play music during their breaks?
Yes, most bands offer a playlist service (sometimes called a “laptop DJ”) to keep guests entertained when they’re not performing. If you’d prefer a full DJ experience, many bands can include one in their package.
Can Leeds wedding bands perform outdoors?
Yes, provided there’s a sheltered area and power access. Outdoor performances are especially popular at countryside venues and marquees on the outskirts of Leeds.
Do we need to provide food and drinks for the band?
Yes. It’s common courtesy to provide a meal and soft drinks, as musicians are usually on site for several hours. A hot meal or buffet access helps them stay energized for their evening performance.
What happens if the band cancels?
Cancellations are rare, but all bookings through FixTheMusic are covered by agreements that protect you. If an emergency arises, we’ll help you find a suitable replacement band right away.
Can we request extra sets or a longer performance?
Yes. Many bands offer flexible performance options; for example, extending the evening by an additional 30-minute set or staying later for an after-party fee. It’s best to arrange this ahead of time so they can plan accordingly.
