We talk to bands regularly about what it's like performing at Warwickshire venues. Here's what they've told us:

Warwick House, Southam has its own in-house DJ and sound system. If you're booking a DJ and sax or hybrid act, check whether they need to bring their own PA or can use the venue's setup. The venue's wedding manager will put your band in touch with the in-house DJ to coordinate. There's a management room at the front of the building and a shepherd's hut in the car park for performers to use during breaks. Fusion Girls performed there at £700, and the groom later wrote:

"Booked for our wedding evening entertainment. Excelled our expectations, and all of our guests commented about how fun and entertaining it was."

The second-highest Warwickshire booking in our data was Roaming Beats at £4,998, performing at Chesford Grange Hotel, Kenilworth, a Tudor-style hotel on the banks of the River Avon that hosts both weddings and corporate events. One client booked a DJ and saxophone combination for a Friday 13th themed wedding with 150 guests and casino tables, later adding a drummer to the package.

"Can confirm these are the absolute best band for any event! Exceptional performers, with brilliant audience interaction, energy, and a huge catalogue of songs. We've had so many comments from our wedding guests including 'phenomenal' and 'the best band I've seen in a long time.'"

That's from a groom who booked The Groove Train at Wethele Manor, Leamington Spa — a Victorian manor set in 18 acres that suits larger lineups. The couple booked a 6-piece band (vocals, guitar, bass, drums, keys and sax) for an 11pm finish, working through a curated set list drawing from songs they'd heard the band perform elsewhere.

Compton Verney, Warwick is an 18th-century art gallery in 120 acres of parkland. Both couples who enquired about it went on to confirm their bookings. ROAMEO performed there at £6,815, and their reviewer wrote:

"Incredible wedding band. Really bring the vibe - your guests can't help but dance!"

Ceilidh Twist also played there, and their reviewer said:

"The caller was so clear and really took her time to explain the steps and was hilarious too! The band were tight and sounded amazing with the fiddles."
