Some FAQs About Hiring an R&B Band for Your Wedding or Party...

What does an R&B wedding band perform?

The R&B wedding bands on FixTheMusic play a variety of music in this style featuring a range of artists including Kanye West, Bruno Mars, R Kelly, Justin Timberlake and Ceelo Green. Most R&B cover and tribute bands will also include in their set list songs from other styles of music as well as R n B, including hip hop, UK garage, reggae, pop, rock, soul and Motown. You might also be looking for an urban wedding band – perfect for cool city weddings.

Can you also provide UK garage wedding bands?

The UK is home to many wedding bands that specialise in UK garage music. The Young Bucks, for example, have an incredible garage medley that features Do You Really Like It? (British garage music group DJ Pied Piper and the Masters of Ceremonies), Re-Rewind (The Crowd Say Bo Selecta) by Artful Dodger, featuring Craig David on vocals, Movin' Too Fast, Gotta Get Thru This, 21 Seconds (So Solid Crew) – all combined with their trademark rapping and reggae fusion. So if you're looking for a UK garage wedding band, get in touch!

How much does an R&B / hip hop wedding band cost to hire?

The average price of an R&B wedding band for hire on FixTheMusic is £1,685. R&B bands tend to cost more than the average UK wedding band as they often feature more instruments and vocalists than a regular pop covers band so that they can cover the full range of R&B and soul hits.

Should I hire an R&B band for my wedding?

Yes! We've noticed a big trend in recent years for discerning clients to choose an R&B wedding band for their big day. The UK's best R&B bands are made up of some of the most in-demand session musicians and singers in the country, who have often toured with celebrity singers across Europe and the rest of the world. Booking an R&B band or hip hop band for your own wedding is guaranteed to ensure a cool edge that most other bands can't provide. At FixTheMusic we have some of the UK's best hip hop bands for hire, as well as specialist RnB groups.

Why have RnB wedding bands become so popular in recent years?

Couples these days are looking for something a bit different to the tried-and-tested wedding covers band of recent years. Couples getting married in their early 30s were children of the 90s, so they want music that reflects their personal music tastes, be that 90s kitsch pop such as Britney Spears and various boy bands, to Britpop, Garage, Hip Hop and American heavy metal such as Greenday, Metallica and Guns N' Roses, as well as RnB covers.

How long do the R&B bands perform for?

As is standard for wedding or corporate entertainment, most live RnB bands will provide around 2 hours of live music. This is often split into 2 x 60 minute sets, or 3 x 40 minute sets. The bands will provide background music (a "laptop DJ service") in between the live music. Most bands arrive at the venue at around 5pm and expect to finish by 12 midnight.

Is it possible to see the RnB bands perform live before I book?

It's often not possible to see the RnB bands perform live before you book them for your wedding or event. Most professional wedding bands rarely perform at public gigs, as most of their bookings are at private events such as weddings and corporate events. It is possible from time to time though, so feel free to ask your band and they'll let you know if they have any public gigs coming up.

Will an RnB band be suitable for my wedding?

RnB bands bring a unique flavour to wedding receptions. Their size usually means they provide a visual spectacle to the evening's entertainment. And the range of songs covered by such bands (from soul to pop, funk and maybe even some rock), means there is usually something for each of your wedding guests. Of course, couples will want guests of all ages to enjoy the wedding music, so bands that specialise in 90s genres (90s wedding bands) generally also perform some classic covers from the 50s to the 80s. Some of our RnB / hip hop wedding bands also feature rappers or singers who can rap – the perfect addition to a live band.

Where do your R&B wedding bands perform in the UK?

Our R&B wedding bands perform throughout the UK and internationally. FixTheMusic specialises in providing bands and singers for destination weddings across Europe, especially in France, Spain and Italy. Closer to home, although the majority of our R&B bands are based in London, they are also available across the UK – including in Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham, Bristol, Cornwall, Devon, Brighton, Sheffield, York, Wales and Scotland.

Reviews from local events in the UK

“Groove Addiction were a highlight of our wedding weekend. Beyond their incredible musical talent, they brought so much life to our party. Everyone was up and dancing, and our friends are still raving about it now! We cannot recommend the highly enough. Thank you SO much!!”

“We had ROAMEO play at our wedding and they were fantastic!! We had such a great evening and so many of our guests have since mentioned how much they enjoyed the band. We were quite particular about the music we wanted, keen to avoid anything too cheesy but still have a proper party with everyone dancing. David and the team were really receptive to our ideas and flexible throughout, and they absolutely delivered on the night. The musicians were excellent, there was a great atmosphere and we loved how they got the crowd involved, including some of our friends joining in! Special mention to the trombone player, who was a big hit. David was also really easy to deal with in the run-up to the wedding, and everything was very professional and well organised. A big thank you. We'd definitely recommend Roameo!”

“Wow wow wow. We lost count of the number of guests at our wedding 2 weeks ago who told us that the old school 90s band were the best wedding band they’d ever seen! They played banger after banger and the dance floor never even got close to thinning out all night! Thank you so much to Thom and the team for an unforgettable 2 hours of music. Also shout out to the drink meet up we had with Thom in advance of the wedding, he went the extra mile to connect with us and get to know us a little before the wedding which was a really good idea. They also took responsibility for playing a playlist in between sets which was helpful. 100% recommend!”

“You guys were absolutely amazing and made our wedding evening. The guests all loved the music and were dancing from first song to last. You did a great job with playing our first dance song so perfectly too. Everyone told us you were the best wedding band they've seen - and of course, we agree. Thanks so much.”

“10/10. We've had so much great feedback from our guests, and many of them said the roaming band felt "so us". That's the best compliment we could have hoped for. The communication in the run-up to the wedding was excellent. David was really accommodating in tailoring things to our vision. It went perfectly, and we couldn't have asked for more. On the night, the roaming set kept the energy up all evening, and the sound and lighting were flawless throughout. We'd heard plenty of horror stories about e.g. feedback or soundchecks interrupting speeches, but there wasn't a peep. Thank you! S&J.”

“We wanted to thank you and the guys for providing fantastic music at our wedding! After listening to your showreel we just knew nothing else would compare and we simply had to have City Lights Showband! You kept all of us thoroughly entertained and performed our first dance song so beautifully. It certainly wasn’t the most comfortable of evenings with the sweltering weather but we sure did party anyway! Thanks again for making our evening one to remember! Thanks again for everything, we loved it! Sarah and Alastair.”

“Iddy & his band made our wedding reception! We were able to tell him our music tastes, choose some tracks from their playlist and even organise a bespoke surprise first dance. His saxophonist, vocalist and percussionist were amazing. They all embraced our guests and played two amazing sets, and DJ’ed after until we could dance no more! I am now trying to figure out which social event we can book them for next! Thanks, Al & G”

We are so happy we chose them to perform. Great singing, musicial ability and energy throughout the evening. All the guests left raving about them saying they were the best wedding band they'd seen. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone! Cheers guys for being so incredible and class! 5* in every possible every. Thank you guys!”

“Where do we even start?! From the first call before booking, to finishing the final song on the day of our wedding, the whole team was amazing. Thank you for handling everything to do with the music and doing so with a calm confidence and care. You got the vibe we wanted and ran with it. Your kindness and excitement were so appreciated and came through as you helped elevate the party. Queer-friendly, energetic, open to tone-deaf brides taking to the mic and storming around the dancefloor, it felt like you were partying with us rather than performing. You said it yourselves - you turn weddings into riots and we couldn’t be happier.”

“Music was the most important part of our wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for a better entertainer and singer than Voxxy. She was incredibly professional throughout the entire process and completely blew us away with her performances during dinner. She performed three incredible songs, all big showstoppers spanning Broadway, Disney and film. I’ll never forget when she sang Be Our Guest and our entire wedding party were twirling their napkins in the air, completely captivated by the performance. Then, when she sang Defying Gravity, she absolutely lit up the room. She created such an amazing atmosphere, and her voice is truly to die for. She gave us all goosebumps. Everyone at our wedding was in awe of her, and we are forever grateful for the incredible impact she had on our special day. It’s something we will never forget. As well as absolutely smashing it during dinner, Voxxy and DJ Krissy performed together on the dance floor, getting guests of all different generations up and dancing. They worked so well together and were so much fun. DJ Krissy also completely catered to all of my music requests and went above and beyond at the after-party, which was a massive hit and exactly how I wanted it to be. They both went above and beyond for us, and without a doubt, we would recommend them to anyone looking for entertainment for their wedding or any other event. They were absolutely superb and genuinely helped make our wedding the incredible day it was. In fact, we’re already trying to think of an excuse to throw another party just so we can have them both perform for us again!”
