When cheap is not cheerful. Good bands come at a price

Naturally you’ll be looking for a bargain when hunting around for wedding bands but you are best advised to not send out blanket emails looking for the cheapest quote and booking based on this. Find the band that sounds right and negotiate with them directly.

Good live bands do come at a cost. Firstly because they are professional and reliable, have good quality gear and therefore good quality sound. Then, you’ll notice the customer service and how willing they are to offer you the entertainment you are looking for. Many of the cheaper bands have limited set lists.

While we do try to maintain a good quality of act on this site we would recommend expecting a 4 piece bands price to start from around £1000, a 5 piece around £1200. That doesn’t mean that prices above this are not reasonable as it very much depends on the quality of the band. Remember, you are paying for 4, 5 or more quality and skilled musicians to perform and entertain on your wedding day. Well worth investing in.

Once again…Find the band you like the sound of and begin negotiations on their fee. Cheap is not always cheerful.
