Why people love FixTheMusic
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.
Fabulous!
Fabulous! The guys were extremely helpful from first contact and fulfilled our every request down to the smallest detail. Professional throughout the ceremony, and impeccable with the music we requested! Our choice of sax was repaid by their skill. I recommend them to everyone. Thank you for making our wedding an unforgettable celebration!
We were absolutely delighted to have Forever Diamonds play our wedding...
We were absolutely delighted to have Forever Diamonds play our wedding. They brought brilliant musicianship, showmanship, excitement and fun to the day, and their performance will live long in the memory! Thanks again for playing. We loved it so much. our photographer Murray said it was the best thing he has ever seen at a wedding!
We have had so many compliments on how good the band was...
We booked Mashup Kings for our wedding at Kingscote Barn and we are so glad we did! We spent ages looking through different bands online to find something more in line with our music tastes and we're so glad we found these guys. We have had so many compliments on how good the band was and we both absolutely loved it too. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone thinking about booking them for their wedding - it will really make the evening. Thanks Benji & team 🙌

FAQ About Wedding Bands in Milton Keynes
FixTheMusic provides bands, musicians and DJs for thousands of weddings and private events each year, including over 60 enquiries for weddings in Milton Keynes in the last year. Here are some of the questions couples ask most often:
How much does a wedding band cost in Milton Keynes?
Based on our confirmed bookings and enquiry data for Milton Keynes, couples typically pay between £1,500 and £2,500 for a wedding band.
Confirmed bookings on FixTheMusic include The ABBA Tribute Band at £1,850 for a wedding at Newton Park Farm, Powerhouse Duo at £2,015 for a DJ/sax/percussion set at Endeavour Woodland Weddings, and The Manhattans at £3,790 for a Christmas party at Horwood House Hotel. Smaller acts such as roaming acoustic trios start from around £950-£1,200, while 5-piece and 7-piece showbands can cost £3,000-£4,500.
How far in advance should I book a wedding band in Milton Keynes?
Based on our enquiry data, the median lead time for Milton Keynes weddings is around 7.5 months. For a Saturday in the peak months of August, July or September, we'd recommend enquiring at least 9-12 months ahead. December is also busy for Christmas party bookings at venues like Horwood House Hotel, which hosts regular corporate events with live bands.
What are the most popular wedding venues in Milton Keynes?
Based on the enquiries we receive on FixTheMusic, the most popular Milton Keynes wedding venues are Horwood House Hotel in Little Horwood (our most-enquired venue), Endeavour Woodland Weddings in Swanbourne, the Kingfisher Hotel and Country Club, Newton Park Farm Wedding Venue in Newton Blossomville and Woburn Abbey Estate. We also receive regular enquiries for weddings at Bletchley Park, Abbey Hill Golf Centre and Eversholt Hall.
What types of music do couples request for weddings in Milton Keynes?
DJ and saxophone combinations are the most-requested act type for Milton Keynes weddings. Fusion Girls (DJ, sax and drums, £4,150 confirmed booking at the Red Bull campus) and Glow Stix (London, 95 bookings) are regularly quoted. Roaming acoustic bands are also popular for drinks receptions, with quotes ranging from £950 for a trio to £2,500 for a 4-piece. We also receive requests for ceilidh bands, ABBA tribute acts, Jewish wedding entertainment with Israeli dancing sets, and brass bands for ceremony parades.
Can I hire a wedding singer in Milton Keynes?
Yes. We have solo singers, acoustic guitarists and vocalists available for weddings in Milton Keynes. Many offer combined packages with DJ sets or saxophone, so you can have live music for the ceremony and drinks reception plus full party entertainment for the evening. For a wedding at the Kingfisher Hotel, a couple booked an acoustic duo (singer and guitarist) for the ceremony and canapes from £600-£800. Submit an enquiry on FixTheMusic and we'll match you with available singers for your date.
Do Milton Keynes venues have noise limiters or sound restrictions?
Some Milton Keynes venues, particularly hotels and golf clubs, may have sound limiters installed. Most professional wedding bands are experienced at adapting their performance to sound limits, which may mean using electronic drums or adjusting volume. Always check with your venue whether a sound limiter is in place and let your band know in advance. You can read more in our guide to sound limiters at wedding venues.
Can the band perform at outdoor or woodland weddings in Milton Keynes?
Yes. Endeavour Woodland Weddings in Swanbourne is one of our most-enquired Milton Keynes venues, and bands regularly perform outdoors for woodland weddings. One couple described their wedding as "in the woods, very hippy, we both love rock music and Taylor Swift" and booked an alternative band. For outdoor performances, bands will always require access to shelter from the elements and a power source. If your venue is a marquee or tipi on private land (such as Newton Park Farm), check whether the venue provides a generator or whether the band needs to bring their own PA with independent power.
Do Milton Keynes bands provide a DJ service?
Most bands provide a "laptop DJ" playlist service between and after their live sets, included in their quote. Some bands, such as The ABBA Tribute Band, offer a professional DJ add-on for around £500, who comes with a separate sound system and lighting and can take requests. Other bands offer an in-band DJ service where a band member plays music through the PA for around £200. If you want a professional DJ who reads the room all night, hire a separate DJ alongside your band.
