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!!)

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 wont regret booking.”

“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 in to bands before the wedding and Goodfellas were hands-down the best we found. Cannot recommend them highly enough!”

Thanks again chaps.”

Doug and Alice Garrett, Ashbourne 2019

“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 was 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!”

“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 2019

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.

“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 2019

“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.”

Everything you need to know about our live wedding bands

Matrix-Rock-And-Pop-Live-Wedding-Band-Red-Car

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.

 

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 a live 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?

Betty-And-The-Backbeats-Live-Rock-Wedding-Band-Sax-Player

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 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 a live 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 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 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 bands performance and is recommended!

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

Stage-Lighting-Setup

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

Our live 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 live band provide at our wedding?

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:

  • 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 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?

Flair-Six-Live-Pop-Wedding-Band-Singers

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 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.

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 soul, motown, and ratpack 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 a 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 live bands usually perform for?

Live 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?

Live-Wedding-DJ

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 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 live wedding bands?

From our fully acoustic live wedding bands to full-blown 12-piece showbands 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 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 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 and should be avoided if you plan to have live music. You learn more in our special guide on wedding sound limiters here.

Do 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 in London and the UK.

Do your live wedding bands offer covid cover?

Electric-Zoo-Rock-Wedding-Band-For-Hire-Headshot

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 a 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 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 wedding band doesn’t have to cancel their booking with you and can still deliver a fantastic night’s entertainment.

What will the band wear?

Our 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 compliment your wedding perfectly. Each band’s videos showcase some of the popular outfits they can wear.
