Wedding Bands for Hire in Sheffield

FixTheMusic makes it easy for you to find wedding bands that align with your budget and preferences. Whether you're looking for a party band that will fill the dance floor, talented musicians that play classical music, or retro bands that take you back to the 70s, 80s, and 90s, you'll find it on our website.

All of these bands for hire are professionals and will keep your party rocking or provide subtle background music that sets the tone for relaxed weddings. From chart-topping hits to classic soul and timeless classics, you can choose the best live band for your needs.

What types of wedding bands are available for hire in Sheffield?

There are many types of wedding bands available for hire in Sheffield, including local wedding bands that perform at functions in the area and national bands willing to travel across the UK.

The type of band you choose will depend on the tone of your wedding celebration and whether you want laid-back vibes or plan to keep the dance floor packed all evening.

If you're unsure of the right wedding entertainment for your needs, our experts are happy to help.

How far in advance should we book a wedding band in Sheffield?

Sheffield is a popular location for weddings, with a range of venues in the area. The most popular function bands are often booked up months and even a year in advance, so acting quickly is essential. Wherever possible, you should book the band once you secure a venue to avoid disappointment.

However, if you're planning a last-minute wedding, we can help you find entertainment for the evening party.

How long do Sheffield wedding bands usually perform for?

Most bands offer a two-hour set, which they perform at the main reception. However, you can also choose to split the set and have the band play for half an hour at the drinks reception or during the ceremony.

Can a Sheffield wedding band learn our first dance song?

Yes, and the majority of bands for hire will. After all, the first dance is one of the most important elements of your day. Many bands will also put a unique spin on the song. For example, a jazz band will transform a pop song into a romantic track, while rock bands will add some guitar vibes to the music.

However, you should let the band know in advance so they can prepare and learn the song if necessary.

Do wedding bands in Sheffield provide their own equipment?

Yes, they do. However, if your venue has noise restrictions or a unique setup, you may need to inform them in advance so the band can bring the right equipment. For example, the band might need to bring a different PA system or sound limiters.

Can we see a Sheffield wedding band perform live before booking?

While you won't be able to attend a wedding to watch the band, most have videos on their profile which show them performing at weddings and corporate events. This lets you see the band playing live music and gives you an idea of how they interact with the crowd.

Will a Sheffield band provide music during their breaks?

Most offer a laptop DJ service, which means they'll play songs during breaks and ensure your guests stay on the dance floor. However, if you want to give your guests an amazing experience, you can hire wedding bands and a professional DJ.

Once the band finishes performing, the DJ will take over and play songs that align with your musical tastes.

How much does it cost to hire a wedding band in Sheffield?

Sheffield wedding musicians set their own rates, which are usually based on their popularity and the size of the band. Prices usually start at around £825, while popular bands can charge over £1,000 for a two-hour set.

You'll be able to see rates before booking, which allows you to choose a band that aligns with your budget and preferences.

Is travel and setup included for wedding bands in Sheffield?

In most cases, yes. However, if you hire a national wedding band, their rates may be higher to account for travel. The best thing to do is to contact the band and ask them.

What happens if a Sheffield wedding band cancels or there’s an emergency?

While rare, there may be some cases where the band experiences an emergency and has to cancel. If this does happen, we'll go out of our way to help you find replacement entertainment at short notice. You'll also receive a refund if the band has to cancel.

Should I provide food and drink for the band?

It's not essential, but most people let the band have free soft drinks. If you're having a wedding buffet, you can also let them help themselves to some food from there.

If you're looking to hire a brilliantly fun and charismatic band for your wedding, you've come to the right place.

On their profiles, you can watch their videos, read their verified reviews from clients on FixTheMusic, view recent event photos and enquire with them directly.
