Jewish Wedding & Event Bands in Manchester

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

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 Manchester, 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.

Popular event venues in Manchester include Victoria Warehouse, Victoria Baths and The Principal / Kimpton Clocktower, and our Jewish event bands play celebrations across Didsbury, Stockport and Altrincham. Tell us your venue and running order when you enquire and we'll suggest acts that suit both.

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 Manchester, 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

Most couples and families have the hora after the first course or at the start of the dancing, with a chair lift and an Israeli medley. The band will agree the timings, the songs and any special requests with you beforehand, so the big moments land exactly when you want them.

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.

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.

“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.”
