How to Choose the Right Wedding Band
No matter which type of band you're looking for, you'll find it on our website. FixTheMusic has a huge selection of bands, with each offering something unique.
Whether you want the best local cover bands that sing songs from epic decades, are looking for something more sophisticated, or love niche music, there's something for everyone.
| Genre / Style | What to Expect / Who it's Good For |
|---|---|
| Contemporary Party Bands | Think high-energy songs that everyone will know. These bands play hits from the charts and are ideal for weddings that are all about filling the dance floor. |
| Soul & Motown / Funk & RnB | Perfect for older classics from the Motown and soul eras. These bands are ideal for mixed age guests, offering smooth vocals and classics that will get people on the dancefloor. |
| Rock / Alternative / Indie Bands | If you'd prefer an edgier vibe than a traditional pop band, rock bands and indie performers are ideal. They can play classic 80s rock, modern songs, or a combination of both. |
| Acoustic / Jazz / String Ensembles | Ideal for ceremonies, classy drinks receptions, and quieter weddings. |
| Ceilidh / Folk / Traditional / Themed Bands | If you're looking for something unique or are having a rustic wedding, niche bands can add a memorable flair to your wedding day. |
| Cover Bands | From Taylor Swift to Aretha Franklin and Elvis, cover bands are perfect for fans of both classic and contemporary hits. Hiring cover bands in Macclesfield is ideal if you know which kind of music your guests like. |
Which Bands for Hire in Macclesfield are Right for My Wedding?
When choosing a Macclesfield wedding band, it's important to consider which suits your needs. So, before making a decision, ask yourself these questions:
1: Which parts of the day need live music?
Are you looking for an evening band, or would you prefer one that performs during the drinks reception and then again in the evening?
2: Which genres or vibe do I prefer?
Indie rock or classical music is ideal for chilled-out weddings, while traditional pop function bands will get the party started. You can also find cover bands from different eras, and rock bands with powerful vocals.
3: What are the logistical considerations?
You should also factor in the venue's space and sound limitations. It's important to consider whether you'd like to hire a professional DJ after the band finishes.
4: What's my budget?
You'll find Macclesfield wedding bands at all budgets, from entry-level bands to performers that are booked months in advance.

FAQs
How far in advance should we book a wedding band in Macclesfield?
It depends on the band you choose. While some bands are more flexible, established and popular musicians are often booked months in advance. Once you've secured your wedding venue, it's best to book the band immediately.
Do bands provide their own sound system and lighting?
Yes, they will. However, some venues have sound restrictions in place. Please let the band know in advance, as they may need to bring an alternative PA system and noise-limiting equipment.
Can a band perform outdoors at a Macclesfield venue?
Yes, they can. If it's raining or the forecast is uncertain, we recommend ensuring the band has shelter. Most musicians won't play outside without a gazebo or some form of shelter, as it can damage their equipment.
How long do wedding bands usually play for?
When you book a wedding band, you can expect a two-hour set. It's usually up to you how you use the set. For example, some people ask the band to play for half an hour during their wedding breakfast or drinks reception, then perform a longer set in the evening.
Can we request specific songs for our first dance?
Of course! Let the band know your chosen song in advance so they can learn it if needed. The musicians will also play the song in their distinctive style, which can make it more memorable.
For example, if you choose a traditional pop song, a rock band will add some wow factor to the performance.
Do bands offer DJ sets between performances?
Yes, many bands offer a laptop DJ service to keep guests singing and dancing between sets. If you want the highest quality entertainment, we recommend hiring a premier function band and a live DJ.
What happens if a band member becomes unavailable?
It's very rare for this to happen, and most bands have contingency plans in place. However, in the unlikely event that a band needs to cancel, we'll do everything possible to help you find suitable last-minute entertainment.
Can bands travel outside Macclesfield for our wedding?
It depends on the band. Some are willing to travel throughout the UK, while others prefer events in the North West. Please contact the band before booking if you have any specific requests.
