With our vast collection of local bands, there really is no end to the shape your celebration can take!
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.
But let us know if you're expecting more than 250 guests, so we can check whether the band’s system is large enough. Most bands will also bring lighting for both the stage and dancefloor.
Check the band'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 band’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.
Definitely - our Ipswich wedding musicians include jazz bands, string quartets and a host of acoustic trios and duos to fit any occasion.
If you’re looking for anything from a classical harpist to a solo wedding singer, we can help you customize the perfect musical entertainment for your day.
We love the range of enquiries we get for couples to celebrate their wedding with different musical styles – and we can cater for them all with our Ipswich function bands!

And with a catalogue of jazz bands, soul bands and a wealth of quirkier, alternative musical options, your big day won’t be short of entertainment at any stage of the celebrations.
With so many of our Ipswich bands offering background music as well as party sets for your evening reception, you can save money on your musical entertainment by hiring the same group of musicians to play throughout your big day.
Many of our rock, pop, soul and Motown wedding bands are able to offer acoustic background sets during the day to accompany you at your ceremony or welcome your guests to a drinks reception - this will save you money on booking separate bands for the different aspects of your wedding.
Be sure to book a local Ipswich band too to save on travel or accommodation costs that can be a factor with bands from further away.
And if you haven't settled on a date yet for your celebration, bear in mind that many of our bands and performers offer competitive rates for midweek or winter bookings. Hiring musicians at these times might just help keep inside the budget you have in mind!
