Function Bands in Wiltshire
Live party bands across Wiltshire
Planning a big birthday or anniversary means finding music that suits everyone from your oldest relatives to your youngest guests. A good function band manages exactly that. Hosts in Wiltshire book these bands for 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, anniversaries and family celebrations.
Wiltshire has plenty of places to hold a party, from Larmer Tree Gardens and Bowood House & Gardens to Ashley Wood Farm. The bands on this page travel right across the area, including Salisbury, Swindon and Devizes, and can play a marquee in a back garden just as easily as a function room.
Function bands come in many styles. Some focus on soul and Motown, some on pop and chart hits, and others on rock, indie or decade-themed sets. Their song lists show exactly what each one plays, so you can match the band to the crowd.
Since 1999, Hireaband has supplied live bands for celebrations of every size. The bands listed here all travel to Wiltshire, bring their own PA and stage lighting, and include travel in the price. The instant quote button shows pricing and availability for your date in seconds.
The essentials:
- Typical cost: £1,200 to £2,400, depending on line-up, date and season
- Always included: PA system, stage lighting and travel costs, in every quote
- Line-ups from three-piece to eight-piece, with playlist music between sets
- Most parties book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday
- Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund
Space matters more than guest numbers. A three or four-piece suits most function rooms and a modest marquee, giving enough sound to fill a dance floor without overwhelming the room. A bigger marquee or larger hotel room carries a six to eight-piece easily, with brass or an extra vocalist adding weight.
Most parties spend between £1,200 and £2,400. The number of musicians is the biggest factor, followed by the day and the time of year: a weekday date can cost less than a Saturday in summer. PA, lighting and travel are included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.
Every band's page has video and audio of the performers who would actually play at your party, a full song list and written reviews from people who have booked them. It's the easiest way to judge the style and the atmosphere before you commit.
