“We loved the Avengers. They were on time and hassle free. Our whole meal and speeches were delayed so they could not get in to set up- they were relaxed and happy, setting up quickly once we had cleared the space and then they agreed to have a much smaller break between sets to still perform their 2 x 1 hours. They eased a potentially stressful situation with their calm and easy attitudes. The music was awesome- song choices were great and the dance floor was full all night- Awesome wedding band!?”

Adam Waide – Bristol 2017

“The Avengers were amazing. Laura spent all night on the dance floor and everyone had a great time. We’d highly recommend the band to others.”

“The communication with Playback before the wedding was great. We were able to pick songs we wanted and they were able to play our first dance. Playback were one of the highlights of the whole wedding. The dance floor was full all night and they played songs suitable for all our guests. I had lots of messages from guests to say how much they enjoyed them. One of my favourite memories of the wedding was when they played champagne supernova and asked guests to make a circle round us.”

Lauren Hempel – Devon 2015

Exactly the songs we wanted performed from start to finish and some brilliant moments, including Adam the singer coming onto the dance floor for some of the performances (which everyone loved). All our guests have since said how fantastic they were. We would book them again in a heartbeat!”

Jess Phillips – Berkshire 2022

“First of all a massive thank you to Rollin Stars lads!! They helped make our day even more special, even if the weather wasn’t that great. Everything from the initial correspondence to the final song was effortless and professional. The song we had asked them to learn, chase and status – alive, was a difficult song to learn however, it sounded even better than the original!!!! A lot of our guests asked what the song was and commented on how good it sounded!! The rest of their performance was of a similarly high quality.”

“I found Rockaoke Live on Seventh Second and knew immediately they were the kind of band we wanted for our wedding. Our wedding was in Italy, and given we live in the US, we knew we were taking a huge risk selecting a band online, having never heard them live, flying them to our venue and crossing our fingers everything would work out on the day. We couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out.”

Lucy Jarvis – Italy 2018

“My wife and I looked for a band and we got the amazing wedding band Rockaoke Live. They were brilliant, so easy to work with. Polite & friendly. Excellent choice of tracks. The dance floor was always full, everyone had such a great time, we can’t say enough I definitely recommend them if you need a band for your special day, birthday or anything. A huge thank you to you.”

“We had such a fantastic wedding day and that was in part due to the awesome Party Republic wedding band!!!! Our guests have not stopped talking about the day and saying how good you all were – Katy, your voice was just perfect for our first dance and I’m so glad you agreed to sing it for us! Not only were you amazing on the day, providing a beautiful acoustic set in the afternoon and then bringing the dance floor to life in the evening, you were on hand to answer all my questions and totally put me at ease during all the planning too. We can’t thank you enough for being part of our special day.”

Mr and Mrs Blenko – Surrey 2022

“Party Republic are absolutely incredible and we can’t recommend this wedding band enough…you definitely won’t be disappointed by this awesome band! We had them play at our wedding last year at Sandbanks and they definitely kept the party going strong. They had so many guests up dancing (even those people we didn’t expect to get up and cut shapes) and sounded amazing. They interacted with the guests which was such a lovely touch – initiating dance offs, encouraging the whole dance floor to show their flossing moves and even control the inevitable World Cup football chanting. We couldn’t have asked for more from the band. Aside from being a brilliant singer, Katy was always so quick to respond to any emails and really helpful, tailoring everything to what we wanted, including music we wanted playing through their PA system between sets. I first saw Party Republic play at 1812 in Bournemouth and would love to see them perform again. Thank you so much – we loved having you play at our wedding and our guests still mention how good you were!”

Lyndsey and Ian Smith – Bournemouth 2019

Everything you need to know about our britpop and indie wedding bands

Live-Indie-Band-For-Wedding-Hire-Party-Republic

Below I’ve answered some of the key questions we get regularly asked regarding our indie and britpop bands but if you want to know more or have any other questions, check out our other helpful guides where we cover all these questions in much more detail, head over to our FAQ or T&Cs pages, or get in touch. We are always here and happy to help with expert advice.

 

Can you watch a wedding band before hiring them?

All of our wedding bands are exclusively private event bands so it’s not usually possible to see them live outside of private events. However, some bands do run public showcases and can in some cases invite guests to private shows so you can “try before you buy”. Each band also has extensive and up-to-date promotional material on their unique profile page so you have a great idea of how they would perform at your wedding or event.

 

How far in advance should I book an indie or britpop wedding band? 

We would always advise you to book your chosen wedding band at least 12 months before your wedding although between 6-12 months is usually ok. Bear in mind that peak dates (generally Saturdays from May until September) can be booked up years in advance, especially with in-demand bands so if your favorite wedding band is free, we suggest booking as soon as you can.

How much do wedding bands cost?

Live wedding band prices vary depending on the size and style of the band and the time of year you are looking at hiring them. Read our guide on the real cost of wedding bands for much more but 3-piece bands generally cost between £750-£1200, 4-piece bands, £850-£2000, 5-piece bands £1100-£2600, and 6-piece bands £1800-3000. A premium, 12-piece showband generally starts from £8000. Our live wedding bands are generally £100-£200 cheaper to hire than anywhere else because we don’t charge commission on any booking.

Do you have to feed the band at your wedding?

Because your wedding band will be with you for around at least 8 hours it is generally accepted and usually contractually stipulated that you must provide the band with some form of food and adequate soft drinks for the duration of their stay with you. The better you look after your band, the better they will perform!

What are the most popular styles of live wedding bands?

Usual-Suspects-Indie-Wedding-Band-For-Hire

People love all sorts of live wedding bands but some of the most hired wedding bands are multi-genre bands (typically pop, rock, and indie), soul and motown bands, and folk/mumford & sons-styled bands.

What time do live wedding bands arrive?

Our live wedding bands can arrive at a wedding at any agreed-upon time but standard arrival times are between 5pm and 7pm as most live music usually starts from around 6pm to 8pm. 

What time will the band finish?

Again, our indie and britpop wedding bands can finish at any agreed-upon time so the party never has to stop but typical finish times are 11pm and 12pm with some weddings finishing at 10pm or 1/2am.

How much space does an indie or britpop wedding band need to perform?

Our wedding bands are very adept at fitting into all venues but as a general rule, a 3×3 metre space will be sufficient for most 3 and 4-piece wedding bands. You generally need to add an extra metre to the space required as you add extra band members but you can reference our full spacing guide here for more.

Can wedding bands perform outside?

Our indie and britpop wedding bands can perform outside and have done so at many outdoor wedding ceremonies, receptions, and during other parts of wedding days. Our guide on wedding bands performing outdoors is a must-read if you want some excellent outdoor live music at your wedding.

Can wedding bands perform during dinner or the drinks reception?

Our live wedding bands can perform during your wedding breakfast/dinner and drinks receptions and have done so at many weddings before. They have the capacity and experience to perform during any part of your wedding day.

Does the band need a stage?

Our indie and britpop bands don’t specifically need stages to perform unless they are performing outside or in a marquee where they do need a solid and waterproof floor as a minimum. However, a stage always adds something extra to any live bands performance and is recommended!

How long does it take for a band to set up, sound check, and pack down?

Live-Wedding-Band-Equipment-Amp

Our live wedding bands generally need 60 to 90 minutes to set up, sound check and be ready to perform for you. This process can take longer if they are delayed by your venue or if the load-in is far away from where they need to perform. If needed and if free of delays, our bands can set up and sound check in 30 to 40 minutes. Pack down generally takes between 40 to 60 minutes but please be aware that much larger bands with stages and lighting rigs can sometimes take much longer to set up, sound check and pack down.

Can your live bands set up and sound check while my guests are in the same room?

Our britpop and indie bands can silently and discreetly set up and sound check while in the same room as your guests if needed. If your venue only has one room for you, your guests, and your live wedding band, this option can be essential and our bands are very experienced in this process.

What will the band provide at our wedding?

All our live indie and britpop wedding bands provide everything you could need for a fantastic night’s entertainment. This includes, (free of charge) at any wedding, party, or event:

  • Top-of-the-range PA system
  • Top-of-the-range stage lighting
  • Top-of-the-range musical and backline equipment
  • DJ/background music and equipment
  • Suitable stage outfits
  • Transport
  • PLI and PAT certificates
  • A friendly and professional attitude!

Do I need to provide anything for the band?

Wedding bands don’t need too much from you for them to be able to perform to their max for you. What they do need includes:

  • A safe space to park their vehicles
  • Ample performance space with enough power supply
  • If performing outdoors, a waterproof, flat, solid stage area with protection from the elements
  • Some food and drink for the duration of their time with you
  • A safe spot to get ready for performing and to relax between sets
  • Access to toilets

Can we use the band’s PA for speeches?

Our indie and britpop wedding bands are always happy for you to use their PA for speeches and many have wireless microphones available so you can enjoy your speeches wherever you wish!

Can we perform with the band?

Bride-Singing-With-Wedding-Band-Live-Bandeoke

Most of our bands do offer a bandeoke/rockaoke booking option where you, your friends, and your family can join the band on stage and become a true rock or indie star! Our live bands are also happy for you, a friend, or a family member to join them for a one-off special performance too.

What types of music do live wedding bands perform?

Our live wedding bands perform all sorts of music from rock, pop, blues, indie, folk, motown, soul, funk, hip-hop, RnB, metal, DnB, punk, and many others. Some bands specialise in certain styles like our indie and britpop bands in today’s guide, but many of our live wedding bands perform all styles to cater for weddings with all age groups and music tastes. The choice is yours!

Can I choose which songs my wedding band plays?

You can always have full input in what any of our bands perform and working alongside them, you can create a live setlist that is perfect for you and works for them so you have the ultimate live show at your wedding!

Can an indie wedding band perform my first dance?

All of our wedding bands are more than happy to perform first dances and are happy to learn songs just for the occasion. We have a popular guide on choosing a first dance here.

How long do indie and britpop bands usually perform for?

Twilight-Knights-Live-Indie-Band-Singer

Our britpop and indie wedding bands typically perform 2×60 or 3×40-minute sets but each band can design set times and lengths to suit your schedule and wedding. You can also add extra live sets, and extend or shorten live sets so you have the exact amount of live music you wish.

What happens between the band’s live sets?

Our live wedding bands will always supply DJ/background music when not performing so your wedding party never has to stop! They can DJ or play any and all styles of music to blend in perfectly with any part of your day.

Can I choose the music the band performs between live sets?

You can have full control over the music between live sets with our bands performing playlists you approve of, playlists you provide, or playlists you create with them. Our indie and britpop wedding bands can also take requests from you and your guests and make announcements. The choice is always yours but you can always leave the music in their expert hands and enjoy your wedding party.

How loud are indie and britpop wedding bands?

From our fully acoustic indie duos to the largest britpop wedding bands the volume range can vary from 85db to 130db. The typical volume for a standard live wedding band is 110db and is equivalent to a large truck passing by or a baby crying. Our indie and britpop wedding bands are made up of professional musicians who only perform at volume levels that are fun for you and your guests and that are acceptable to your venue.

Can indie wedding bands perform with sound limiters?

Sound-Limiters-At-Weddings-Guide-Infographic

All our wedding bands have extensive experience with sound limiters of all shapes and sizes and know how to get the most out of them despite their restrictions. If you know your venue has a sound limiter, it’s always best to ask them for details so your live band can prepare and deliver the best live performance for you. Any venue that has a sound limiter below 85db is not live music friendly for indie and britpop bands and should be avoided if you plan to have live music. You learn more in our special guide on wedding sound limiters here.

Do live wedding bands have PLI and PAT certificates?

All our live wedding bands have up-to-date PLI and PAT certificates so they can perform safely and securely in any venue the UK.

Do your britpop wedding bands offer covid cover?

Marquee-Wedding-Indie-Wedding-Band

All our live wedding bands offer comprehensive covid cover with any booking. You can find more details here.

Do you offer any support or security when we book an indie wedding band?

We offer an industry-leading booking contract and comprehensive covid cover with every booking which protects you and the band from any eventuality. We also have a 24-hour emergency phone line available with any booking and are available 10am-10pm via phone, email, live chat, social channels, and text 7 days a week to help in any way, obligation free. We are dedicated live music experts and professional musicians and are here for you and your special day.

Will I get the band members I see in the videos?

Not always. In the rare case of a band member falling ill or having a family (or other) emergency, our wedding bands have a select group of expert musicians they trust and perform with regularly who can step in and cover for band members who can’t make a show. These are full-time, professional musicians and are like-for-like replacements. This means your wedding band doesn’t have to cancel their booking with you and can still deliver a fantastic night’s indie and britpop entertainment.

What will the band wear?

Our indie and britpop bands typically wear suits or smart shirts for a more smart/casual look but each band has various outfits they can wear to blend in with your wedding theme and many have bespoke coordinated outfits or can tailor looks to compliment your wedding perfectly. Each band’s videos showcase some of the popular outfits they can wear but if you simply want that full-blown indie look, they can do it!

Most of our award-winning live wedding bands offer plenty of indie bangers in their live show to keep even the biggest indie wedding crowds satisfied so why not have a look at all of our fabulous wedding bands here?
