How it works
About Our Wedding Bands for Hire in Nottingham
Nottingham is a vibrant city, with a range of professional musicians calling the area home. You'll find wedding bands that specialise in various genres, including rock anthems, pop hits, classic soul, indie, and classic hits from your chosen decade.
Many people choose to book a contemporary band that will play hits from artists like Bruno Mars and pop/rock songs, but you'll also find a wide selection of niche bands, offering disco, soul, and R&B songs.
We guarantee that each band on our website offers breathtaking vocals and a huge range of songs to choose from.
When should we book a wedding band for our Nottingham wedding?
It's always a good idea to reserve your wedding band in advance, as the area is popular for events and experienced musicians attract a lot of interest. Once you book your venue, you can secure your chosen band, which avoids disappointment and ensures that you can focus on other elements of your day.
How long do wedding bands typically play at weddings in Nottingham?
When you book a wedding band with FixTheMusic, you can expect them to play for two hours. Some people prefer a two-hour set during the wedding reception, but others might ask to split the set between the drinks reception and evening party.
The band might also provide background music or afternoon acoustic sets during the ceremony, then play for 90 minutes at your reception. Please speak to the band before booking to ensure that they can accommodate your needs.
Can Nottingham wedding bands perform our first dance song live?
Of course! The band will ask about your first song before the big day and learn it if necessary. Many musicians will also put a unique spin on your chosen song.
For example, if you choose a rock band, they can add a different vibe to a traditional pop ballad, while bands specialising in acoustic sets will tone the song down to suit your preferred style.
Do Nottingham wedding bands provide all necessary equipment?
The band will bring instruments and a PA system, so you won't need to worry about providing anything for the wedding.
However, it's vital to check with the wedding venue regarding space issues or noise requirements, as the band might need to bring specialist equipment that aligns with the venue's regulations.
Is it possible to see a Nottingham wedding band live before booking?
Many Nottinghamshire wedding bands play at local festivals and corporate events, with videos and audio samples on their profile. If the band is playing at a festival, you can view them live. However, you won't be able to go to other weddings or corporate events.
It's a good idea to contact the band before booking and ask whether they have samples of your preferred genre or songs. That way, you can ensure they'll provide the perfect soundtrack for your wedding day.
Will music be played during the band’s breaks at our Nottingham wedding?
Yes, most wedding bands offer a laptop DJ service when not playing live music. They'll ensure your guests continue to have a fantastic time and remain on the dance floor. If you want to offer your guests a more immersive experience, then hiring a DJ is an excellent idea.
How much does it cost to hire a wedding band in Nottingham?
If you book professional function bands in Nottingham, you can expect to spend around £1.250. However, highly experienced and popular bands may charge over £2,000 for a two-hour set.
We aim to provide our customers with wedding music that aligns with all budgets, and we are here to help you find the right entertainment.
Do Nottingham wedding bands charge extra for travel or accommodation?
In most cases, no. If the band is based in Nottingham or the East Midlands, they'll usually include travel fees in their rates. However, if you book a band from elsewhere in the UK, they may increase their rates if they need to stay overnight.
What happens if the wedding band cancels before our Nottingham event?
It's very rare for a wedding band to cancel before the event, but they should give you plenty of notice. If the band cannot reach the destination or a key member becomes unwell, they might have no choice but to cancel.
In cases like this, we'll do everything possible to find a replacement band for your wedding celebration.
How do we choose the right wedding band for our Nottingham venue?
When choosing a wedding band, it's essential to consider your musical preferences. For example, some bands specialise in a specific genre like modern pop music, rock hits, funk, retro hits, or indie songs, while others provide an eclectic mix of songs.
You can also choose between female and male lead vocals, or a mix of both. It's also important to consider whether your venue can accommodate a lively band or is best suited to relaxed sets.
