Our Birmingham wedding bands will typically perform the best of rock, pop and soul music over the last few decades – ideal for guests of all ages.
All line-ups include a lead vocalist and vary from compact 3-pieces right through to 8-piece show bands.
Hire a guitar-based band for uptempo rock and indie anthems, or a band with keyboards and synths if you prefer 80s music or mainstream pop.
Bands with brass sections are ideal for funk, soul and Motown.
All our bands are fully self-contained with their own PA sound system, microphones, backline amplifiers and instruments. This works really well for most marquee or indoor weddings.
Let us know if you're expecting more than 250 guests, so we can check whether the act’s system is large enough.
Most bands will also bring lighting for both the stage and dancefloor.
Check the act's individual profile for more details and optional add-ons to enhance the show!
Most bands will be happy to learn and perform your first dance request – provided they think they can arrange it for their line-up and do it justice!
Check the act’s profile to see what they can offer and if they can’t do it live, they could just play it through their PA system using Spotify or an mp3 player.
We want to help make your day as unique as you are, so please check out the song list of your chosen band and select the songs you’d most like to hear on the day. While the band will do all they can to ensure your requests are played, they may need to switch things up as they go depending on audience response.
Rest assured, the band’s main focus will be on ensuring you and your guests have the best time and keep dancing all night long.
If you’d prefer something a little more laid back, we have jazz bands
to give your event a classy touch.
For events on a tight budget or in a small venue, we’d recommend a wedding singer or DJ.
Our Birmingham wedding musicians can provide all the excitement and spontaneity of live music without breaking the bank (or the sound barrier).
In most cases, yes. You will need to ensure you have proper cover for your band and their equipment and a power supply they can easily access. If you’re considering an outdoor reception, let us know and we can discuss any specific requirements your band may have.
