Jewish Wedding & Event Bands in Oxfordshire

Hora, klezmer and party bands for simchas in Oxfordshire

For a Jewish wedding or bar mitzvah, the band sets the energy of the whole evening. In Oxfordshire, our Jewish event bands are used to big, lively rooms and packed dance floors, and they bring everything from a live hora medley to a polished showband set.

Popular event venues in Oxfordshire include Caswell House, Old Luxters Barn and Merriscourt, and our Jewish event bands play celebrations across Henley-on-Thames, Witney and Abingdon. 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.

Hireaband has been booking live music since 1999. Every Jewish event band here travels to Oxfordshire 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

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.

Every act's page has video and audio of the musicians who would actually play, their repertoire and written reviews from people who have booked them. It's the easiest way to check the style and the atmosphere before you commit.

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
