Mumford & Sons Style Wedding Bands in Berkshire

Banjo, fiddle and foot-stomping folk for weddings in Berkshire

If you want your wedding to feel like the best tent at a summer festival, a Mumford & Sons style wedding band is the one to book. In Berkshire, these bands play weddings first and foremost, and their mix of folk, bluegrass and rock covers suits guests of every age.

Popular event venues in Berkshire include Coworth Park, Englefield House and Royal Berkshire Hotel, and our folk-rock wedding bands play weddings across Bracknell, Newbury and Windsor. Tell us your venue and the feel you're after when you enquire and we'll suggest acts that suit both.

Not every folk-rock band does the same job. Some are best known for their acoustic sets during a drinks reception, some for a full-volume evening party, and many do both in a single booking, moving from the lawn to the dance floor.

We've been booking live bands since 1999, and every folk-rock wedding band on this page covers Berkshire. 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 £1,000 for a smaller band to £3,000 or more for a larger line-up, depending on date and set times
  • Mumford-style folk, bluegrass, hoedown and folk-rock covers
  • Acoustic reception sets and full evening party sets
  • 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. Folk-rock bands can play quieter than a typical covers band, which helps at venues with a limiter, but the full evening set still needs power and floor space.

A trio or four-piece typically starts from around £1,000, while a larger band for an afternoon and evening can reach £3,000 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.

Each folk-rock 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.

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

It's a folk-rock band built around acoustic instruments like banjo, mandolin, fiddle and acoustic guitar, with a driving beat from a kick drum or stomp box. They play folk anthems and folk-style versions of pop and rock hits.

Most can. Many bands offer an unplugged set for the drinks reception, often moving among guests, before their full evening set. Mention it when you enquire and we'll include it in the quote.

Yes. Bands bring their own PA and lighting for the evening set, and acoustic sets need little or nothing. The full band needs floor space and power nearby, so check both with your venue, along with any sound limiter.

From around £1,000 for a smaller band to £3,000 or more for a larger line-up. The number of musicians, the date and the length of the booking make the biggest difference, and travel is always included in the quote.

It's one of the most popular choices. The acoustic instruments and foot-stomping energy suit barns, marquees and outdoor venues, and the sound works well in rooms where a louder band might struggle.

Yes. Most folk-rock bands play folk-style versions of pop, rock and chart hits alongside folk anthems, so there's something for every guest. Each act's song list shows exactly what they cover.

“Everyone loved the band and the music they played. Would definitely use them again!”

(5)

“Where to begin with this band! In a few words, absolutely incredible! We can not thank Paul and the band enough for everything they gave us! They absolutely stole the night and filled the dance floor from start to finish. We originally hired them because we had hoped they would give us something different to a generic wedding band - we wanted the night to feel like an epic gig and my god did they deliver! Loved every single second of it and so did every single one of our guests - young and old(er) ;)! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”

“Tommy & Sons performed at our wedding on the hottest day of the year (38 degrees!). They were professional throughout and so friendly. Due to the heat, most people were outside so were missing all the music, but the band happily set up outside instead and it turned the atmosphere into a much more relaxed, live music vibe rather than a wedding party, which was just what we were aiming for! The music was fantastic and we would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting live music at their event!”

(5)

“Hickory Smoke were the perfect band for our big day. Karl was so ready to talk to when organising our wedding, he and the band put in a great performance in the evening. They could play our first dance live which was very special. The live covers were a real crowd pleaser and the ceilidh dances were well explained so everyone could enjoy. Thanks again!”

(5)

“We couldn't have chosen a better band. They set the mood of the wedding party perfectly with a great array of different music, catering for all guests. They exceeded our expectations and we'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a band in the future.”

(5)

“I just wanted to say a huge thank you for Saturday evening! Phil & I, along with all our friends and family, thoroughly enjoyed Shoeshine’s performance! We really enjoyed our first dance song. Your music and band was the perfect addition to our wedding so thank you! Please pass on our thanks to the rest of the band.”
