Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a North Yorkshire wedding band?
North Yorkshire has some amazing wedding bands, but its popularity means it's essential to book in advance. If you're planning a summer celebration, top wedding bands are typically booked months in advance.
We recommend booking the band as soon as you choose your wedding date and venue to avoid disappointment.
Can we choose our first dance song?
Absolutely. Any wedding band playing at your event will accommodate your first dance song request. Live music can make it feel more special, and the band might reimagine it.
For example, if you choose a traditional pop song, a classic soul song, or a classic rock song, the band can use their experience to create a more unique sound.
Please let the band know your chosen song in advance so they can learn it.
Do wedding bands bring their own PA and lighting?
Yes, the band will bring all necessary equipment, including a PA system and lighting. But some venues may have restrictions in place. If the venue is in a residential area, there may be noise restrictions.
It's also important to consider space restrictions. Large bands may need to make adjustments for smaller venues.
Do you offer acoustic wedding music for drinks receptions or ceremonies?
It depends on the band you choose. Many will offer background music during the ceremony or drinks reception upon request, but the style of music may differ. We have a range of talented indie bands and duos that specialise in acoustic sets.
These musicians are ideal for laid-back weddings. You can also combine bands, booking an acoustic duo for the day, then a party band to fill the dance floor at night.
How long do wedding bands usually perform for?
Function bands usually play for two-hour sets, but most will let you split that time into segments. For example, some people choose for the band to play for half an hour during their drinks reception, then for 90 minutes in the evening to keep guests dancing.
Please let the band know in advance how you'd like to use their time.
Do North Yorkshire wedding bands travel to remote venues?
Again, it depends on the band. While many will travel to remote venues in North Yorkshire, some are willing to travel throughout the North West.
Some North Yorkshire function bands may charge extra for travel time, and bands based elsewhere in the UK might increase their rates to cover overnight accommodation.
Can we see the band perform before booking?
Most wedding bands in North Yorkshire play at a range of other events, including corporate events, private parties and festivals. While you can't see the band perform live at a private event, you can view videos and listen to audio samples.
This gives you an idea of whether the band suits your needs.

Reviews from local events in North Yorkshire
“Swing State was a great band for our wedding. Chris was in regular contact beforehand and was able to accommodate our requests. The dance floor was often full and the band was good at sensing what music to play for the mix of ages attending the wedding. The band also play to a high standard, which makes them a good choice both for dancers and listeners. We came away from the day feeling we had booked the right band - and part of their strength is being able to respond to the audience they are playing for.”
“What a fantastic band The Crossbones are. They had the dance floor full from start to end, getting involved with the crowd and making sure everyone had a good time. The band were incredibly accommodating with our first dance request, before/after playlists, and we're flexible with changes to songs and times on the night. All the guests were full of compliments for the band. I can't recommend them enough!”
“Hi Sam, Lee and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for playing at our wedding. You were all truly amazing and we will forever remember the music and your professionalism. Your talent is truly remarkable and everyone embraced it. We sincerely apologise for not saying goodbye and thank you on the night but we just got swept up in the moment. Thank you again, Julia & Lee O’Neill xxx”

“Scintillate were amazing and due to a medical issue on the day had to work around us as things ran rather late, but everyone thoroughly enjoyed their sets, got every single guest up dancing and all-round fabulous evening. Many many thanks x”
“We booked The Crossbones for our wedding and they were amazing! Our first dance was exactly what we wanted, and the setlist got many of our friends and family dancing. We had guests coming over to give compliments and ask where we found them. I also asked if they could learn a special song as a surprise for my partner, which they did and played it brilliantly. We couldn't have asked for better, thank you so much to the band for the best night!”
“Awesome band! I had great fun last night!! They all enjoy themselves and create a positive atmosphere. Great going guys!! All the best.”

Booked The Party Pioneers for a wedding at Sedgewell Barn, Northallerton, UK
“Absolutely INCREDIBLE! The Crossbones played our wedding and were insanely good. We had the full band in the evening and also an acoustic set with a female singer in the afternoon. In the run up to the wedding, James was extremely helpful and easy to communicate with. On the day, they were complete professionals but brought the energy and vibe that kept the dance floor full all night. Can't overstate how good they were and how much everyone loved them... don't hesitate, just book them! Lots of love, Mr & Mrs W xx”
“We booked Elevation Gospel Choir for our wedding after finding them on instagram, I was so excited in the lead up watching their videos and they certainly delivered. Such a special touch to our day we have had so many guests comment on how amazing they were. The songs we chose for the ceremony were sang just perfectly. And the pre ceremony and drinks reception sets just brought such good vibe to the day. Would 1000% recommend to anyone! Thanks so much guys for making our special day even more special. Paul & Claire xx”

From start to finish, Laura and her team were absolutely incredible, bringing so much energy and joy to our wedding breakfast with their roaming set.
