Wedding Bands in East Sussex
Wedding bands playing venues across East Sussex
Whether you're planning a formal reception in a hotel ballroom or a relaxed party in a barn, the band sets the tone for the whole evening. Wedding bands covering East Sussex play pop, soul, Motown, rock and indie classics, and most will learn your first dance if it isn't already in their set.
Whether your wedding is near Hastings, Lewes and Eastbourne or elsewhere in East Sussex, the bands listed here cover the whole area. Local venues include Buxted Park Hotel, Michelham Priory and Brighton College. It's worth asking your venue early about its finish time and any sound limiter, as both affect the band's set times.
Wedding bands come in many styles. Some focus on soul and Motown, some on pop and chart hits, and others on rock, indie or swing. Many offer an acoustic set for the ceremony or drinks reception as well, so you can keep the same musicians with you through the day.
Hireaband has been booking live wedding music since 1999. Every band listed here travels to East Sussex as standard, brings its own PA and lighting, and sets up and clears away on the night. Use the instant quote button on this page to check prices and availability for your date.
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
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.
