Wedding Bands in Somerset

Book a live wedding band in Somerset

A good wedding band reads the room. It knows when to start with something everyone recognises, when to bring the tempo up and when the first dance needs to feel special. Across Somerset, our wedding bands play the songs your guests already love, arranged to fill a dance floor rather than copy the record.

Whether your wedding is near Bath, Frome and Taunton or elsewhere in Somerset, the bands listed here cover the whole area. Local venues include The Cider Barn at Dillington Estate, Wick Farm and St Audries Park. 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.

Hireaband has been booking live wedding music since 1999. Every band listed here travels to Somerset 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.

At a glance:

  • Most wedding bands cost between £1,400 and £2,600
  • PA, lighting and travel are included in the price you're quoted
  • Choose anything from a trio to an eight-piece with brass
  • Summer Saturdays book up 12 to 18 months ahead
  • A 14-day change-of-mind refund comes with every booking

Start with the room, then think about the feel you want. A tight four-piece gives you a full sound at a sensible price, while adding brass, keys or a second singer turns the evening into more of a show. If your venue has a sound limiter, a smaller acoustic-leaning line-up is often the safer choice.

Expect to pay from around £1,400 for a smaller line-up up to £2,600 or more for a larger band. Line-up size matters most, then the date and extras such as an acoustic ceremony set. Every quote includes PA, lighting and travel, so nothing is added later.

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.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.

“The Tommy Guns = AMAZING! They are worth every penny. We chose them for our wedding and were not disappointed. Aside from being prompt and having great communication with Hireaband throughout, the band were so friendly and their music was so superb that the dance floor was never empty. So many comments from guests saying how good they were, I almost wish we were getting married again to have them back! Would highly recommend and will definitely have them for any parties in the near future. Thank you again, it made our wedding.”

“Huge thank you from us for playing at our wedding on August 6th - you were FANTASTIC! We expected great things but honestly you blew us away with your performance and energy - you brought something new to each of the covers whilst capturing the spirit of the original. Sophie, your vocals were just outstanding! It was really important to us that we had live music at our wedding and that we kept everyone on the dancefloor all night - your incredible performance did that for us, we had lots of compliments from our guests and we had the absolute best time!! Thank you!! Thanks for making it a night to remember! We wish we could do it all again! Do let us know if you'll be playing any gigs in Bristol as we would love to see you perform again.”
