Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a West Midlands wedding band?
The West Midlands is a popular location for weddings, especially in large cities like Coventry and Birmingham. The most popular function bands in the area typically book months in advance, so it's important to reserve the band as soon as you choose a venue.
That way, you can avoid disappointment and having to choose a last-minute band.
Can we choose our first dance song?
Of course! While wedding bands perform a variety of genres, they'll always try to accommodate your preferences. The first dance is a significant part of your wedding celebration, and the band will learn your chosen track if needed.
One of the benefits of live music is that the band can put their own twist on the song. For example, if you choose a rock ballad, an acoustic duo will slow it down for a more meaningful first dance.
Do West Midlands wedding bands bring their own PA and lighting?
Yes, they do. When you book a band, they'll bring all the necessary equipment. However, some wedding venues have noise and space limitations. It's important to let the band know about any restrictions in advance, so they can adjust their equipment if necessary.
Do West Midlands bands offer acoustic music for drinks receptions or ceremonies?
It depends on the band you choose. Most are willing to split their time, which can give you more flexibility over the wedding, but each has a set genre. For example, a rock or acoustic band can provide laid-back music during the wedding ceremony, while a pop band may offer a cappella music.
How long do wedding bands usually perform for?
When you book a West Midlands wedding band, the standard set time is two hours. However, you can split the time to suit your needs. For example, some people may ask the band to play for half an hour during their ceremony and drinks reception, then for an hour in the evening.
Do West Midlands wedding bands travel to remote venues?
Bands in the West Midlands will usually travel to remote venues, but you should check with them before booking. For example, some bands prefer to stick to local areas like West Bromwich, Birmingham and Coventry, while others can visit rural locations.
However, some musicians may charge extra for travel and overnight accommodation if required.
Can we see the West Midlands band perform before booking?
Live wedding bands typically perform at a range of events, including private parties, corporate events and festivals. While you can't see the band perform at a private event, you can view music samples and videos on their profiles.
This gives you an accurate idea of how the band sounds and whether they match your preferences.
Reviews from local events in West Midlands
“Wow!!! That’s the word I have to include when reviewing this band! They performed at our wedding in May and our guests are still talking about them! Not only did they bring the vibe on the wedding day but on the run up, Tom was amazing and couldn’t do more to ensure the performance was perfect, even down to editing our first dance to fit us! You were incredible! Thank you for everything”
Booked The Old School 90s Band for a wedding at Thorpe Garden, Tamworth, UK
“We cannot recommend them enough! We have had non stop compliments from our guests, and as someone who had genuine nightmares about the dance floor being empty at our wedding. They brought all the good vibes, played banger after banger, and even added in some extra ones that they noticed on our guest request list they had just learned. We felt so grateful for their expertise on what songs guests wanted to dance to, and how to make sure the vibes stayed good all night! Si was absolutely amazing, from our call before the wedding I knew we were in good hands, and that the band would make the night great. The communication from booking and to the wedding was fab. If you want the dance floor to be full, and the music to be incredible, book them! xx”
“Out of this world! The Ferrymen played at our wedding and they definitely got the party started with everyone singing and dancing! We couldn't have asked for a better bunch of people to have for our daytime entertainment. The songs were varied to suit all of our guests and the planning and run up to the event ran really smoothly - thank you so much!!”

“Incredible wedding band. Really bring the vibe - your guests can't help but dance!! Can't recommend enough.”
“We had this band play at our wedding and they were absolutely incredible. They got in touch beforehand to go through our song likes and dislikes. The communication was great and the performance was even better. I would definitely recommend them to anyone else looking for an upbeat and interactive band to get everyone going. Lovely guys too!”
“Picking a band for band for wedding was a stressful experience but we really hit the jackpot with the Wild Foxes! When listening to samples online we just loved Alana's voice on the big sound the band produced for just being three members. If you're thinking about booking Wild Foxes my advice would be definitely do it! The band answered all of our questions, learned a song for our first dance, took requests for the DJing between songs and provided lighting to give the dance floor extra ambience. All of the communication with the band was simple and effortless. From the start to the end of their set the energy levels were incredibly high and they got the dance floor jumping and all of our guests singing along. At one point the drummer Max even joined in the party which was great! Thank you guys so much for the wonderful show you put on!!”
“Just wanted to say a massive thank you to the whole band for Saturday night. You guys were brilliant and everyone was saying what a great band you were!”

“Charisma were INCREDIBLE! One of the best function bands I’ve ever seen play and all of our guests have commented on how good they were! They played a mix of songs to get everyone up and dancing. Their set list is huge and definitely have something for everyone. Thank you again for playing at our wedding at Sandon Hall! Becky & Jake.”
“Having looked at the website & loved the videos, we booked The Jive Misters (6 piece) for our Wedding. In the run up to the wedding Oli was really friendly & helpful with any questions we had & nothing was too much trouble.

Absolutely top class. Thank you all so much, Sam & Paul X”
