Wedding Bands in Cambridgeshire

Live wedding bands for receptions in Cambridgeshire

The evening band is the part of a wedding most guests remember. It's what gets grandparents and teenagers onto the same dance floor, and what turns a lovely day into a proper party. Couples marrying in Cambridgeshire book live bands for everything from country-house receptions to barn and marquee weddings.

Cambridgeshire has a wide choice of wedding venues, from The Guildhall and Longstowe Hall to Chippenham Park. The bands on this page travel right across the area, including Huntingdon, Peterborough and Ely, and are used to working with venue coordinators and sound limiters.

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 Cambridgeshire. 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.

What to know:

  • Budget £1,400 to £2,600 for most line-ups, with off-peak dates often costing less
  • Every quote includes the band's PA, stage lighting and travel
  • Playlist music is provided between sets, so there's no silence
  • Book early for a Saturday between May and September
  • Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund

A trio or four-piece is ideal for an intimate reception or a venue with a strict sound limiter. For 150 guests or more in a large room or marquee, a six-piece or bigger band fills the space properly. Tell us the venue and guest numbers and we'll suggest what tends to work.

Most couples spend between £1,400 and £2,600. The number of musicians is the biggest factor, followed by the day and the time of year: a Wednesday in February can cost less than a Saturday in June. 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 wedding, 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.

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.

FAQs

Most Cambridgeshire weddings book a four- or five-piece for somewhere between £1,400 and £2,600, all in including PA, lighting and travel. What moves the figure is the line-up size, the day of the week and the season.
All of it — Shingay-cum-Wendy, Cambridge, Chippenham, Six Mile Bottom and Dry Drayton and everywhere between, plus the surrounding towns and villages just over the county line.
Some of the grandest venues run their own noise conditions or curfews, so it's worth confirming the licence when you book — we can usually tell you what to expect if we've played there before.
Yes, in almost every case — tell us the song when you book and we'll confirm it.
Twelve to eighteen months for a Saturday in peak season; off-peak dates and weekdays hold later.
Often, yes — we run private showcases, and every act has video and real reviews.

“The Tommy Guns played at our wedding and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them for any live event.
Everything worked smoothly from booking, payment and liaising on songs (they have a huge repertoire and are very accommodating with requests).
They really got everyone on the dancefloor and seem to know exactly when to play the right songs - they are really nice guys who made it all go smoothly and everyone was loving their performance.
Thanks for making the party!”

“Oh my gosh, I had the privilege to listen and watch the band, Third Wheel play live. Wow, what an amazing band! The musicians are brilliant and the lead singer has such energy. Cannot wait to see them again... if you get the chance to see them... grab it! #bestband #weddingband”

“WOW. The Tommy Guns made our night. THEY WERE BRILLIANT. Incredible stage presence, great tunes, awesome performance. Every single person at our wedding was on the dance floor by the end of the night, even the people you'd never expect. We didn't want the night to end. "One More Song! One More Song!" was chanted three times before The Tommy Guns were able to call it a night. Three weeks on and our guests are still raving about how brilliant they were! Can't recommend The Tommy Guns enough, you won't regret it!”
