Wedding Bands in Birmingham
Live wedding bands for receptions in Birmingham
Live music changes the feel of a wedding evening. Guests who would sit and chat through a playlist tend to get up for a band, and the energy builds from the first song to the last. Couples in Birmingham book wedding bands for receptions of every size, from 60 guests to well over 200.
Whether your wedding is near the Jewellery Quarter, Sutton Coldfield and the city centre or elsewhere in Birmingham, the bands listed here cover the whole area. Local venues include Moxhull Hall, Fazeley Studios and The Grand Hotel Birmingham. It's worth asking your venue early about its finish time and any sound limiter, as both affect the band's set times.
Not every wedding band does the same job. Some are known for a big, polished show with brass and several singers, others for a relaxed, feel-good party set. Knowing the kind of evening you want makes the choice much easier.
We've been booking wedding bands since 1999, and every band on this page covers Birmingham. PA, lighting and travel are built into the quote, the band sets up and clears away around your venue's timings, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.
The essentials:
- Typical cost: £1,400 to £2,600, 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 couples book 12 to 18 months ahead for a summer Saturday
- Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund
Most wedding bands play two sets of around an hour, usually starting after the first dance, with playlist music in between. If you'd like live music earlier, many bands can add an acoustic set for the drinks reception or the wedding breakfast. Mention it when you enquire and we'll include it in the quote.
A three or four-piece typically starts from around £1,400, while a six-piece or a band with brass can reach £2,600 or more. An off-peak date is often good value if your budget is tight. The price in your quote includes PA, lighting and travel, so it won't change once you've booked.
Rather than a generic demo, every band's page shows the actual line-up you'd be booking, with videos, audio and a song list. Underneath are reviews from clients who have already booked them, often at venues you'll recognise. Between them you'll have a clear picture of the wedding well before the day.
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.
