How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Wedding Band in Nottinghamshire?
The average price of a Nottinghamshire wedding band is £1,200 to £2,100 for a four-piece band. However, if you book a solo act, the prices typically start at around £325. High-end showbands with lots of musicians can cost £11,800.
The amount you'll spend also depends on the band's popularity and whether they need to travel. Some bands are happy to travel throughout the East Midlands, while others may charge extra if they're not based in Nottinghamshire.
When you get married, can also make a difference. For example, peak wedding season is usually May to October, with the summer months and September being the busiest times. Because bands are in high demand, the prices can be higher than for an autumn or early spring wedding.

What Is Included in a Wedding Band Booking in Nottinghamshire?
The price of your wedding band includes live music sets, which usually last 2 hours, and a laptop DJ service during breaks. If you want a more immersive celebration, booking a live wedding DJ to play after the band finishes can be a good idea.
Live musicians will also bring their own lighting and PA systems, but you should check with the venue for any space or noise restrictions.
It's standard for the band to play your first dance song. Again, let them know in advance which song you've chosen, as they may need to learn it.
When Should You Book a Wedding Band in Nottinghamshire?
It's vital to book a wedding band in advance, as their schedules can fill up quickly. We recommend booking at least 12-18 months in advance, but the best wedding bands in Nottinghamshire can be booked up to 24 months in advance - especially during peak season or for Friday and Saturday weddings.
It's a good idea to book the band as soon as you reserve your venue.
