Jewish Wedding & Event Bands in Shropshire

Hora, klezmer and party bands for simchas in Shropshire

For a Jewish wedding or bar mitzvah, the band sets the energy of the whole evening. In Shropshire, 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.

Across Shropshire, Jewish event bands are booked for simchas in and around Ludlow, Telford and Shrewsbury. Venues in the area include Rowton Castle, Wilde Lodge and Davenport House, all with space for a big dance floor and a full band.

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 Shropshire, 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.

Expect to pay from around £1,500 for a smaller band up to £4,000 or more for a large showband. Line-up size matters most, then the date and extras such as a klezmer set or reception music. Every quote includes travel, so nothing is added later.

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.

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.

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.

“The Sherlocks performed at our wedding and they were super - from all the pre correspondence to the performance on the night. We have had nothing but positive feedback from our guests who loved the traditional wedding music combined with a few of our favourite Irish songs. They certainly got the room up singing and dancing! Thanks again to Alastair and the rest of the group”

“Hi Barrie Happy New Year. I just wanted to thank you and more importantly Monte Carlo for suck a great night! You guys were the BEST!”

“We have had Garden Party perform at a number of family gatherings over the years and they consistently deliver to a superb level. They are exceptional performers, play great songs and really know how to get the crowd going. Separately, I found them easy to communicate with, polite, and were able to get set up in less than 45 mins which was really appreciated on the night! Libbi and the team at Hireaband were easy to work with throughout the entire booking process.”

“Mitzvah Tanz band and dance caller was an absolutely brilliant opening to our wedding party. They got nearly everyone on their feet twirling round the room and everyone else clapping and stamping their feet. It really helped build a feeling of community and warmth that lasted the whole night. I would highly recommend Mitzvah Tanz they were easy to work with, accommodating, reliable and great fun to have around. If you want accessible Klezmer with a modern twist Mitzvah Tanz are for you!'”

“The Milestones were amazing! Aside from being completely professional, they were so good at figuring out the crowd on our wedding night - our guests kept commenting on how much they were enjoying them and the song choices! We had so much fun, couldn't recommend them more”
