How far ahead should we book a Somerset wedding band?

Venues such as Coombe Lodge and Brympton House are often booked a year or more in advance, and the best bands tend to get snapped up quickly. For Saturday weddings in summer, aim to secure your band at least 9–12 months in advance.

What kinds of music are popular at Somerset weddings?

Somerset couples often choose lively pop and rock bands for evening parties, while folk-inspired acts and acoustic duos work beautifully in rustic barn settings like Almonry Barn. You’ll also find jazz, Motown, soul and funk bands available.

Do Somerset wedding bands bring their own equipment?

Yes. Bands provide instruments, a PA system and lighting as standard. If your venue has sound restrictions, such as limiters common in countryside barns, let your band know early so they can adjust their setup.

Can a Somerset wedding band play outside?

Yes, many venues in Somerset have stunning outdoor areas, and bands are happy to perform there with adequate shelter and power. This is particularly popular for summer receptions overlooking the Quantock Hills or Mendips.

Will the band perform our first dance song?

Most bands will happily learn and perform your first dance live, provided you give them enough notice. Many couples enjoy a unique version of their chosen track performed in the band’s style.

How long do wedding bands in Somerset usually perform?

Two hours of live music is typical, divided into sets. You can schedule them after dinner, or include shorter sets earlier in the day during your ceremony or drinks reception.

Is there music during the band’s breaks?

Yes, most bands provide playlists between sets so the music doesn’t stop. If you’d like something more interactive, you can hire a DJ alongside the band.

How much does it cost to hire a Somerset wedding band?

Rates typically range from £1,000 for smaller groups to £2,500+ for larger or more experienced bands. Costs depend on the number of musicians, their experience and whether travel or accommodation is required.

Do Somerset bands travel outside the county?

Yes. Many Somerset bands perform regularly in Devon, Dorset, Wiltshire and Bristol. Travel fees may apply depending on the distance.

What happens if a Somerset band cancels?

Professional cancellations are rare, but bands often have deputy musicians ready. If an unavoidable cancellation occurs, FixTheMusic will help arrange a replacement quickly.
