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?

Reviews from local events in Somerset
“The London Brass Roamers were a joy to work with from beginning to end. During the preparation period they were reassuring, helpful and organised. My daughter was quite particular with her playlist and they never balked at all she wanted. On the day itself they were brilliant. They brought the wedding to life and gave it a huge fresh burst of joyous energy. The music was fab and they looked fab and cool but were warm and generous too. Really can't recommend them more.”
Booked The London Brass Roamers for a wedding at Brympton House, Yeovil, UK
“The band was just fantastic and was perfect for our wedding day. They brought great energy and played hits that got everyone up dancing – from the youngest to the oldest and everyone in between. A great mix of modern and classic tunes performed with energy to perfectly match the celebratory atmosphere. They were professional, punctual, and completely stress-free to organize. They learned the song we wanted for our first dance and performed it brilliantly. All we heard from our guests was how much they loved the band. Thank you again.”
Booked Harvest Kings for a wedding at The White Barn, South Petherton, UK
“Loved this band, and the customer service beforehand with our check-ins, the block options we could pick was excellent. They struck the balance between acting like a band but actually sounding like the music by having the DJ which is exactly what we wanted, and both singers were so talented. Could not believe the notes being hit and they kept the dancefloor full all night which can be rare at weddings”

“Soul Central were FANTASTIC! We could not have asked for a better band - they had everybody dancing! People were coming up to us and saying how good they were while they were playing! Days later, guests are still commenting how good they were! Incredibly professional, fun and amazing musicians! We want to get married again just so we can party while they play. Great job and thank you so much Soul Central!”
“The Dynamos were great! They played decently at our wedding and everything from booking to the end of the event was perfect, great communication, seamless set up and they played a great range of music. We had so many comments on how good they were from family and friends, so glad we chose them! Would highly recommend for events in the future.”

We'll happily give you a glowing reference any time for all occasions. Kindest regards, Claire and John Melrose.”
