Jewish Wedding & Event Bands on the Isle of Wight

Live bands for Jewish weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs on the Isle of Wight

A Jewish wedding or bar mitzvah needs a band that knows the running order as well as the music. On the Isle of Wight, our Jewish event bands play the hora and Israeli dance medleys at exactly the right moment, then keep the dance floor full with soul, pop and party classics for the rest of the night.

Whether your celebration is near Cowes, Ventnor and Newport or elsewhere on the Isle of Wight, the acts on this page cover the whole area. Local venues include Barton Manor, Northwood House and Albert Cottage Hotel. It's worth sharing the venue's layout early so the band can plan where the hora circle will go.

Jewish event bands vary in size and style. Some are large showbands with singers and a horn section, some specialise in klezmer and traditional music, and many combine a hora and Israeli dance set with pop, soul and disco. Watching a couple of videos is the quickest way to find the right fit.

Hireaband has been booking live music since 1999. Every Jewish event band here travels to the Isle of Wight as standard, brings the equipment it needs, and the quote you receive includes travel. Use the instant quote button on this page to check prices and availability for your date.

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

Start with the size of the celebration and the running order. A large wedding or bar mitzvah suits a showband with several singers and a horn section; a smaller simcha suits a five or six-piece. Tell us when you want the hora and any other key moments, and we'll match you with a band that plans around them.

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.

Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day if anything needs sorting quickly.

FAQs

Yes. Every band in this category plays a hora and Israeli dance set, including Hava Nagila and other favourites, and will agree the songs and timing with you before the day.

Many can. Some bands offer an acoustic or klezmer set for the ceremony or drinks reception before the main evening set. Mention it when you enquire and we'll include it in the quote.

Yes. Bands bring their own PA and lighting. Larger showbands need a good-sized stage area and power nearby, so it's worth checking both with your venue, along with any sound limiter.

From around £1,500 for a smaller band to £4,000 or more for a large showband. The number of musicians, the date and the length of the evening make the biggest difference, and travel is always included in the quote.

Yes. Bands experienced with simchas are used to fitting their sets around courses, speeches and the chair lift. They'll agree a running order with you and your caterer or planner in advance.

For weekend weddings and bar mitzvahs, a year or more ahead is common, as the most popular bands book up early. For other dates, a few months' notice is often enough.

“Best band ever! Can’t recommend them enough! Got everyone dancing all night! Thank you for making our wedding!”

(5)

“This band is so good I made them our resident band. The full package: talented, professional with a fantastic stage presence. Their love of music and playing together is evident which makes them a joy to watch. I love the wide range of music they perform and they always get people dancing. I would recommend booking this band for any occasion.”

“City Boys played at our wedding in September and were everything we had hoped for and more! They are a really friendly group who played a great mix of songs, keeping the dance-floor full from start to finish. I would highly recommend this band! They are a really fun and friendly group of guys and have a great song selection. We had a wide ranging age group of guests but the City Boys played songs that kept everyone entertained, dancing and singing along. They played a huge part in what was the most perfect wedding day! Thank you!”

“What an awesome night! We had such a great party and you guys were instrumental in making it so. Everyone loved your music and commented on how brilliant your performance was, including some ‘neighbours’ several roads away!! We’d said to our near neighbours that they were welcome to enjoy the music in their gardens and we ended up having 1 who came over and commented that he had to come to see you guys in person because he was enjoying the tunes so much! Can’t say fairer than that.”

“Incredible band with sensational sound - their videos do not do them justice! Every song was a winner and could not have been happier with HAB's suggestion. Catered so well to our picky song requests and had the dancefloor packed from beginning to end. Amazing!!”

“The band were absolutely fantastic. Everyone raved about them. They were great performers - engaged with the crowd and had fun surprise elements to add to the show.”
