Our East Midlands wedding bands generally perform pop, rock and soul hits from over the last few decades, and their performances are designed for guests of all ages.
The acts vary from stripped-back 3-piece bands to elaborate line-ups like 8-piece show bands.
Our individual profile pages give you a good impression of what to expect from each band.
Hire a guitar-based band for rock and indie hits, or a band with keyboards and synths for a bit more 80s pop.
Looking for some soul? Bands with brass sections are perfect for funk and Motown music.
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.
