Jewish Wedding & Event Bands in Essex

Live bands for Jewish weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs in Essex

Simchas have their own rhythm, from the entrance of the couple and the chair lift to the Hava Nagila set and the late-night party. Across Essex, the bands on this page are experienced with Jewish weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs and anniversary celebrations, and they plan every moment with you in advance.

Essex has a wide choice of event venues, from Maidens Barn and Blake Hall to Apton Hall. Our bands travel right across the area, including Brentwood, Chelmsford and Colchester, and many work regularly with kosher caterers and event planners.

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.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched live bands with events of every size. The bands listed here all travel to Essex, include travel in the price, and arrive with their own sound set-up where it's needed. The instant quote button shows pricing and availability for your date in seconds.

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.

Most Jewish wedding and bar mitzvah bookings fall between about £1,500 and £4,000. The number of musicians is the biggest factor, followed by the date, the length of the evening and extras such as ceremony music. Travel is included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.

Each band's page carries real video, audio, a song list and reviews from previous clients. A couple of clips will tell you far more about how a band works a room than any description can.

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.
