Jewish Wedding & Event Bands in Durham

Hire a Jewish event band in Durham

The right band makes a simcha. Acts across Durham combine traditional Jewish and Israeli repertoire, klezmer and the hora with a full party set, and they're booked for weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, engagement parties and community events.

Whether your celebration is near Durham, Barnard Castle and Sedgefield or elsewhere in Durham, the acts on this page cover the whole area. Local venues include South Causey Inn, Bradbury Glade and Lumley Castle. It's worth sharing the venue's layout early so the band can plan where the hora circle will go.

Not every band plays a simcha the same way. Some lead a long, high-energy hora set with Israeli favourites, some add a klezmer or acoustic set for the ceremony or reception, and all of them follow up with a party set for the rest of the night.

Hireaband has been booking live music since 1999. Every Jewish event band here travels to Durham as standard, brings the equipment it needs, and the quote you receive includes travel. Use the instant quote button on this page to check prices and availability for your date.

The essentials:

• Typical cost: from around £1,500 for a smaller band to £4,000 or more for a large showband, depending on line-up, date and set times
• Hora and Israeli dance sets, klezmer and a full party set
• Ceremony, reception and evening music available
• Travel is included in every quote
• Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

For 150 guests or more, a seven to ten-piece showband gives the room the energy it needs. For smaller celebrations, a five or six-piece works well. Tell us the venue, the guest numbers and the running order and we'll suggest what tends to work.

Expect to pay from around £1,500 for a smaller band up to £4,000 or more for a large showband. Line-up size matters most, then the date and extras such as a klezmer set or reception music. Every quote includes travel, so nothing is added later.

Every act's page has video and audio of the musicians who would actually play, their repertoire and written reviews from people who have booked them. It's the easiest way to check the style and the atmosphere before you commit.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the event. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.
