Since last Saturday, everyone’s been saying how amazing the band were, and we can’t recommend these guys highly enough! We’ve already told our friends they need to hire them next year for their wedding. Thanks for making our wedding day the best day ever!”
Mr and Mrs James Syers, London 2025

“I have had some excellent feedback from our guests, you were so good that all our guests, old and young had an amazing time!”
Laura Kester, St.Albans 2025
“We hired All Night Disco to perform at our wedding after a recommendation from our photographer. The communication beforehand was spot on, the band have a list of songs they can play and we selected a whole bunch before the big day. They also offer to learn to play one if you have a first dance that’s not on the list. They travelled all the way from Surrey to Northampton on New Year’s eve to play at my wedding and I am delighted that they did. They were fantastic! They played all our favourites and took requests from my guests – they kept everyone on the dance floor all night! (And we didn’t stop until 1am!!) I couldn’t recommend them enough, thank you so much!”
Laura Sheffield, Northampton 2025
All Night Disco have a compact lineup consisting of lead female vocals, lead male vocals/guitar, bass, drums and backing vocals all around.

You got everyone up dancing and we have had so many compliments on you all since the wedding.

I have seen Goodfellas before and knew they were going to perform. Wasn’t disappointed – amazing performance and showmanship – people were talking about them for weeks! They also managed the whole music programme, playing pre-recorded wedding music between sets and taking the time to make sure that everyone’s favourites were on the playlist – even if they had to learn the songs! A total package you won’t regret booking.”
Susan Merryfield, Poole 2025
“Goodfellas are quite simply the best wedding band around! As performers, they are brilliant; they’ve got a massive repertoire and absolutely nailed every song they played. The way they interacted with the guests was great – they were really friendly off stage and thoroughly entertaining on it – and the dancefloor was jam-packed all night. We did a lot of research into bands before the wedding and Goodfellas were hands-down the best we found. Cannot recommend them highly enough!”
Bob Peters, Leicestershire 2025
Good Fellas typically line up as a 5-piece of lead male vocals/keys/trumpet, guitar x2, bass, drums and backing vocals all round for a unique and big sound from a smaller wedding band. Booking options are plentiful, so let us know what you are thinking and Good Fellas will happily deliver!
Captain Obvious may only be a 4 piece wedding band but with 4 talented vocalists in their ranks, you get one big sound from these happy boys. Like most musicians at Seventh Second, all the members of Captain Obvious are full-time professional musicians and when not performing at a stunning wedding, you will see them wowing crowds at the most exclusive of London venues every weekend. These guys know how to perform all the hits, so prepare for some serious dancing!

“The boys played our wedding at Tissington Hall and I would say if you are into music at all you have to book them, they are incredible!!!! Made our do so special and I have had so much positive feedback from our guests saying they were the best wedding band they have seen and my wife and I would agree!!! Would highly recommend!!! Thanks again, chaps.”
Doug and Alice Garrett, Ashbourne 2025
“Captain Obvious were absolutely phenomenal. Sorting out all the music! Jon at Seventh Second was very helpful too. Having never really heard them play before it was a little bit of a gamble and I was just going purely on the reviews. However, as soon as they started playing our first song, I knew I had made the right decision. Their musicality and performance were amazing, I would pay money to see them play again. They were all really friendly and helpful which was nice and allowed us to relax and just enjoy the evening. We have had so much great feedback from all our guests too. Their set-list and repertoire were exactly what we wanted, with a mixture of classics, cheese, UK 90s garage and some floor-fillers to finish off the night. I couldn’t thank them enough!”
Will and Chloe Greene, Brighton 2025
Captain Obvious keep it compact and awesome with a 4-piece made up of lead male vocals/guitar x2, bass and drums with backing vocals added in for extra fun. Booking options can include bandeoke, extra live sets and a fantastic acoustic option, which is so worth it.

“Playback were absolutely phenomenal for the 3 sets they played at our wedding. They were so upbeat and got everyone dancing and having the most amazing time. They are also the nicest guys and took time to make sure that they were playing songs from their repertoire that they knew we loved. To cap it all, they also agreed to play our first dance even though it was outside their repertoire and needed to learn it, all for no extra charge. They gave us the best party and we can’t fault them at all”
Chris and Selina Amberson, London 2025
“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 around us.”

They were so informative before the date, sending us their long and varied set lists for us to pick some favourite songs to create a wicked evening.

“I can’t recommend these guys enough! We were nervous about picking the band for our wedding as we both feel that if the music is not great, it is difficult to get the party going. Seventh Second were recommended to us and as soon as we contacted them, they were responsive and helpful which put us at ease. Our requirements were a bit complicated because there was only a very small window in which the band would be able to set up so they needed to do an initial set-up, and then clear their stuff away while the guests had dinner and then re-set up quickly after the meal. Nothing was too much trouble – they took the time to understand the factors involved and adapted their normal routine to fit. They tailored their set and learnt some new songs for us. Best of all they learnt our first dance which, due to the song we had picked (Carlos Santana) we were not expecting them to learn because it was so tricky.”
Sadiq Mohamed, London 2025
“Thank you guys so much! Great song choices, loads of energy, and you kept the dancefloor packed with something for everyone from grandchildren to grandparents.”
Mike Barclay, Wiltshire 2025
With their diverse lineups that can include lead female vocals, lead male vocals, guitar, bass, drums and keys, Royal Flush can be designed around your ideas and wedding theme.

Below I’ve answered some of the key questions we get regularly asked 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.
All of our pop 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.
We would always advise you to book your chosen pop 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 pop bands so if your favourite wedding band is free, we suggest booking as soon as you can.
The booking process is quick and simple! Shortlist your favourite pop wedding bands, check their availability and prices, pay a small booking deposit and sign a comprehensive, secure booking contract with your chosen pop band and then sit back and plan your dream wedding with your dream pop wedding band!
Pop wedding band prices vary depending on the size and style of the band and the time of year you are looking to hire 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 pop wedding bands are generally £100-£200 cheaper to hire than anywhere else because we don’t charge commission on any booking. Our live pop wedding bands always include travel expenses in every quote too. No hidden surprises!
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!
Our 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.
Again, our pop 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.
Our pop 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.
Our UK pop 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.
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.
Our wedding 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 band’s performance and is recommended!
Our 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.
Our live pop 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.
All our live wedding bands provide everything you could need for a fantastic night’s entertainment. This includes (free of charge) at any wedding, party, or event:
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:
Our 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!
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 pop 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.
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!
All of our pop 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.
Live 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.
Our live pop 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.
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 pop 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.
From our fully acoustic live wedding bands to full-blown 12-piece pop showbands, the volume range can vary from 85db to 130db. The typical volume for a standard pop wedding band is 110db and is equivalent to a large truck passing by or a baby crying. Our 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.
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 and should be avoided if you plan to have live music. You learn more in our special guide on wedding sound limiters here.
All our pop wedding bands have up-to-date PLI and PAT certificates so they can perform safely and securely in any venue in London and the UK.
All our pop wedding bands offer comprehensive covid cover with any booking. You can find more details here.
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.
Not always. In the rare case of a band member falling ill or having a family (or other) emergency, our live 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 pop wedding band doesn’t have to cancel their booking with you and can still deliver a fantastic night’s entertainment.
Our pop wedding 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 complement your wedding perfectly. Each band’s videos showcase some of the popular outfits they can wear.

Any deposit you pay can be rolled over onto any new date as many times as you like and if you have to cancel your booking due to COVID-19 or something similar, you will never pay any extra fees or owe anything to the band you hired with us. We will hold onto your deposit and you or a friend or family member can use it any time you wish! As a cherry on top, we’re offering 10% off bookings right now too!

That’s it from me today anyway. If you loved any of the pop bands you saw here, you can enquire about them here or why not have a look at all of our live wedding bands right here? Our wedding experts will be able to rustle up a fantastic pop band at a price you will love and we’re here 7 days a week, 10 am to 10 pm via the usual socials, phone, email, text or instant chat so why not come and say hi?
