Jewish Wedding & Event Bands in Kent

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

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 Kent, 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.

Across Kent, Jewish event bands are booked for simchas in and around Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells and Ashford. Venues in the area include Port Lympne, The Beacon and East Quay Venue, all with space for a big dance floor and a full band.

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.

We've been booking live bands since 1999, and every Jewish event band on this page covers Kent. Travel is built into the quote, the band brings what it needs to be heard, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

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

Check the room and any sound limiter before you choose. Large showbands need a good-sized stage area, power and floor space, and the hora needs room for a big circle, so share the floor plan with the band early on.

A five or six-piece typically starts from around £1,500, while a large showband with horns and several singers can reach £4,000 or more. The date and your set times make a difference too. The price in your quote includes travel, so it won't change once you've booked.

Rather than a generic demo, each act's page shows the actual line-up you'd be booking, with videos, audio, a song list and client reviews. Between them you'll get a clear sense of the sound and the show well before the day.

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

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.

“City Boys were simply the best! Their performance was excellent, they were so friendly and they filled the dancefloor every time they walked on stage. A thoroughly professional act that I would recommend for any event - wedding, corporate or party. This is the first review I have ever written (I'm lazy!) and I'm writing it because I genuinely can't praise them enough! 100% recommend!”

Monte Carlo you were great!”
