Our most popular Suffolk wedding bands tend to specialise in rock and pop music from the fifties to the present day.
They're available in a wide range of formats, from a 3-piece band with bass, drums and guitar/vocals, through to a 10-piece bands playing soul, Motown and soul-infused pop.
If you have a small room and a shallow pocket, a singer or duo playing to a backing track can make great value entertainment, as well as getting your guests on to the dancefloor.
All our bands for weddings 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.
Steel bands and roaming bands are great choices for outdoor receptions, as they don't require a power supply and can roam freely amongst your guests.
