Last-minute rush? FixTheMusic has your back! We can help find great wedding bands for any musical emergency.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Wedding Band in Surrey?
Typically, you'll need a budget of £1,900 to hire one of the wedding bands Surrey offers. But we have options for every budget! Smaller groups like acoustic duos cost less, while larger in-demand wedding bands with male and female vocals or backing vocals might cost up to £8,500.
The price of bands for hire depends on:
- The number of musicians
- The band's popularity
- The venue's location
What Styles of Music Do Wedding Bands in Surrey Play?
Our best wedding bands in Surrey cover a huge range of musical styles! From contemporary music to hip-hop or pop tunes with a unique twist - there's a perfect live band for you.
Check our live wedding bands' profiles for their musical style and playlists. Want a sensational party band with female vocals for an extravagant evening reception? Done.
Maybe an acoustic duo for a sophisticated garden ceremony? We've got that as well. The choice is yours, and we make it easy to find your perfect match!
How Long Do Wedding Bands Typically Perform at Weddings?
Wedding music bands typically play around two hours of live music, divided into sets of 3 x 40 minutes or 2 x 60 minutes. Between the band's live sets, there may be a "laptop DJ service" using a downloaded playlist.
Do Surrey Wedding Bands Provide Their Own Sound and Lighting Equipment?
Yes, Surrey wedding bands bring all their equipment, including a PA system, lighting, sound equipment, etc.
Just let your band know if your venue has any sound limits or special needs. For very large venues, the band might suggest extra equipment. They'll be happy to answer any questions about their setup.
Can We Request Specific Songs for Our Wedding?
Absolutely! Wedding bands love playing songs that mean something special to you. If your favourite tune isn't already on their list, just ask. Most bands are happy to learn a song or two for your big day, especially for important moments like your first dance.
Do We Need to Provide Food and Drinks for the Band?
Yes, each performer should get a hot meal and soft drinks or water. Wedding bands for hire don't expect the same meal you offer guests - many venues offer simpler "supplier meals" at a lower cost. If you're having a buffet, that's often the easiest way to feed the band.
How Much Space Does a Wedding Band Need at the Venue?
For a 4-person band, plan for a space of about 4 × 5 meters. Remember, they need room not just for themselves but also for their instruments (drums take up lots of space!), sound equipment, and lights.
Do Wedding Bands in Surrey Require a Deposit?
Yes, you'll need to pay a deposit to secure your booking. Your chosen band will send you a secure payment link. If your wedding is less than 45 days away, you'll need to pay the full amount up front.
Can Wedding Bands Also Provide a DJ Service?
Our professional bands often play a downloaded playlist between sets, but if you prefer the dazzle of a live DJ service, you can have both!
As most bands usually finish around midnight, hiring a DJ is a good way to keep your dance floor rocking.
What Happens if a Band Member Is Unavailable on the Day?
Surrey wedding bands are ready for anything! If a band member is unavailable, our party bands will fill the gap in the lineup from their network of professional musicians and singers.
Can Wedding Bands Perform at Outdoor Weddings in Surrey?
Yes! Surrey wedding bands often play outdoors in some of Britain's most beautiful landscapes! Since the weather can be fickle, ensure the band and their equipment are protected from the rain.
Check with all wedding venues about any rules for outdoor music before you book.
Can We See the Band Perform Live Before Booking?
Unless it's at a public event, like a festival or charity drive, then most likely not. Party bands play for private functions, like wedding receptions or corporate events, which is why this isn't possible.
Check their profile pages: they share audio clips and sometimes videos from some of their performances.

What Happens if Our Wedding Schedule Runs Late?

Reviews from local events in Surrey
“Honestly made our wedding, everyone was up dancing the whole time, all the guys were great. Very kind and just got it! Everyone has told us since the wedding how amazing the band was. For anyone having a wedding soon, know the music is most important to have a great time, and ROAMEO are just great!!! Highly recommend, if anything I’m telling you to have them there!!! Thanks ROAMEO, same time again next week???”
“Beats and Beyond were absolutely phenomenal at our wedding! From start to finish, they brought an incredible energy that kept the party going until the end of the night. Their talent and enthusiasm were infectious, filling the dance floor all night long. The band kicked off the evening with a breathtaking rendition of a-ha's "Take On Me" for our first dance. Their unique interpretation of this classic hit set the perfect tone for a magical night. Throughout the reception, Beats and Beyond continued to impress, putting their own special spin on every song they played. Their versatility and musicianship were truly remarkable. What stood out most was the band's ability to read the room and keep the atmosphere electric. They seamlessly transitioned between genres and tempos, ensuring there was something for everyone. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the band's extraordinary energy and how much fun they were having on the dance floor. As the newlyweds, we were overjoyed with Beats and Beyond's performance. They brought our musical vision to life and exceeded all expectations. Their passion for music was evident in every note, and their professionalism was top-notch. If you're looking for a wedding band that will leave your guests talking long after the big day, look no further than Beats and Beyond. They're not just musicians; they're memory-makers. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without them!”
“Si & the band were absolutely incredible from start to finish. Super easy communication with Si in the lead up to the wedding - he was quick to reply, incredibly friendly and was very flexible with accepting requests! I am so grateful. We had some fairly difficult weather on our wedding day, which made for a last minute change in our reception venue plans (from outside to under a tipi). Si completely made the atmosphere and vibe - a number of our guests were having a little boogie, and I would say he was almost entirely responsible for creating an awesome vibe in our reception in what was less than ideal June weather. The rest of the band then joined for the evening, for an equally incredible set. Getting the music right was one of my biggest things for the wedding (I wanted a full dancefloor of people dancing) and The Tourists absolutely delivered. Dancefloor was full all night. Musically, they are incredibly talented. We feel honoured that they could play at our wedding. Many many of our guests said they were easily the best band they've heard at a wedding. We couldn't agree more. Highly highly recommend. Wishing we could do our day all over again!”
“These guys are INSANE!!! I had core memories made by booking this band. Best decision we ever made for the wedding - we haven’t stopped thinking about it and all our guests were blown away. The vibe is unbeatable and I’ll be telling everyone to get this roaming brass band for their day. Can’t thank you all enough honestly - you’ve made my dreams come true! (Photos were taken by @themchendrys so please tag them if you want to use them) XO”

“If you are still deciding whether to book Throwing Shapes for your event, then just do it. They recently performed at our wedding and they were absolutely incredible, and they received so many compliments from all our guests. The energy they brought meant the dancefloor was always busy and the sax was so adaptable to all genres of music (from Sean Paul to Earth, Wind and Fire!). Thank you guys for making our day super special!”
“Just a short message from Mia and me to say how incredible you and the team were on Friday. Your professionalism and artistry are staggering and I could not recommend you highly enough. Thank you for helping make our big day so special. Best wishes, Max and Mia.”

“Hi Iddy, Just wanted to say you guys were amazing, it all went so quickly it was like being caught in a whirlwind!! You all truly made our day really special and our new anthem is 100% Champagne Supernova! Big thank you also for singing the songs we requested, You absolutely smashed them. Keep doing what you do man, we’ll be following your journey forever! James & Laura Collen.”
“We chose The Young Bucks for our wedding reception and couldn't be happier that we did! They are all incredibly friendly lads but most importantly fantastic musicians. The music was perfect and everyone commented on what an amazing time they had on the dance floor. They also learned our first dance song for us which made it much more special. Highly, highly recommended!”
“The band were absolutely brilliant. All the songs were amazingly performed. The guests loved the fact they would roam around and perform songs in different places. 11/10! Thank you so much. From, Dan & Liv x”
“Superfolk were nothing short of fantastic at our wedding reception. Great performers and really made the evening the success it was. Polite, punctual, and generally nice guys. Particularly thankful to them for taking the time to learn our first dance song, Bonfire Heart, which was not on their set list and even more performed it to perfection for our moment. Cannot recommend more highly!”
“Absolutely incredible! Our dance floor was packed all evening with banger after banger being played! Would 100% recommend! Thanks for making our wedding evening so fun!”
