The most important things to check before booking a band for your wedding reception include:
Music Selection: Wedding bands often play a huge repertoire of songs, and most will tailor their setlist to suit your preferences.
Venue Limitations: Some wedding venues may have restrictions, including space and noise limits. Find out in advance to ensure the band can prepare and bring suitable equipment.
Logistics: Check whether the band has PAT-tested equipment and public liability insurance before booking.
Extras: If the band needs to travel or stay overnight, you may need to pay an extra fee. Some musicians will also offer longer sets for an additional fee.
It depends on the band you choose, but most will offer a playlist between their live sets. This is often called a laptop DJ service, and it's included in the price. You can let the band know your preferred songs and genres.
However, if you want to fill the dance floor all night, booking a professional wedding DJ to play after the band finishes can be beneficial.
No matter which option you choose, remember to let the band know if they can use the venue's PA system or need to bring their own.
When booking a function band, it's essential to plan ahead. Most wedding bands are booked in advance, and acting quickly ensures that you can secure your chosen entertainment.

Here are some of our most in-demand function bands performing live...













They made our wedding and we could not have asked for more...
Cloud Nine performed an acoustic set during cocktails and a party set after dinner for our wedding at Pateo Alfacinha - they were just perfect! They were fun, they sounded beautiful, they were engaging with the crowd - the band is the single biggest element of our wedding that we have received compliments from people about. If you are in two minds about whether to book them - just do it. They made our wedding and we could not have asked for more. Thank you so much Cloud Nine!
They were amazing and had the party going from the first song!
Hi Joe, Please do pass on my thanks to the band last night. They were amazing and had the party going from the first song! Thanks for all of your help in arranging. I’ll definitely be recommending them and will have them in mind for any future events we do. Best regards, Lucy.
The Old School 90s Band were simply brilliant...
The Old School 90s Band were simply brilliant. They recently played at our wedding and were the best band a couple could ask for. From the moment they were booked, Thom was pleasant, courteous and above all fun. On the day they set up quickly and seamlessly with no fuss at all. Then the set, it was incredible. The dance floor was full throughout and everybody complimented that this was the best band they’d heard at a wedding. Thank you so much to Thom, Alice, Nana, Connor, Kaveh and Dan...you were amazing. Love, Max & Lulu.
What I witnessed on Saturday was truly remarkable...
Hi James and NOMAD team, What I witnessed on Saturday was truly remarkable and this data should be used in the form of some sort of science experiment. We booked you guys over a year ago and our aim was to make the dinner part of our wedding a little more interesting. Thank you so so much for everything, you were professional, helpful and an absolute blast from the moment we booked to the moment you left. Please pass our thanks on to everyone involved, the band members and the people behind the scenes for putting together something that will live with us forever. Thank you! Anthony & Alejandra.
