Mumford & Sons Style Wedding Bands in Buckinghamshire

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

A Mumford & Sons style wedding band brings banjos, stomp boxes and big harmonies to your dance floor. In Buckinghamshire, these folk-rock wedding bands are booked for barn weddings, marquee receptions and festival-themed celebrations, playing high-energy folk versions of chart hits alongside the foot-stomping anthems every guest knows.

Whether your wedding is near Amersham, High Wycombe and Milton Keynes or elsewhere in Buckinghamshire, the acts on this page cover the whole area. Local venues include The Dairy at Waddesdon, Stoke Place and Hartwell House & Spa. If you'd like an acoustic set outdoors during the drinks, check the venue has a covered spot in case of rain.

Folk-rock bands vary in style. Some stick close to the Mumford & Sons sound with banjo and stomp box, some lean towards bluegrass and country, and others add a Celtic or Irish twist. Watching a couple of videos is the quickest way to find the one that fits your event.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched live bands with events of every size. The folk-rock wedding bands listed here all travel to Buckinghamshire, 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 £1,000 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

A trio suits a small party or a drinks reception. For a wedding evening or a large corporate party, a four to six-piece with drums or a stomp box fills the room properly. Tell us the venue and guest numbers and we'll suggest what tends to work.

Most folk-rock wedding bookings fall between about £1,000 and £3,000. The number of musicians is the biggest factor, followed by the date and how long they play, and summer weekends book up first. 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.

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.

“The band were brilliant- no complaints what so ever. Excellent song choices and positive comments received from all guests Pass on my thanks Tom”

“Absolutely superb! Would recommend these guys to anyone looking for a band that offers something that little bit different. Great with a more chilled out set outside in the summer sun as guests arrived for the wedding reception, then a more energetic set to kick off the evening celebrations and get everyone up and dancing. We had so many comments for our guests about just how perfect Bully & The Banjo were. They set a warm, celebratory tone at the start which lasted through the entire reception.”

(5)

“Worked with Chloe and the guys recently and what a fantastic band they are! Brilliant musicians, super authentic with an ear for detail, if you’re looking for a country rock covers band you HAVE to check them out”

(5)

“The Cubs added a great sound and vibe to our wedding reception. They very graciously agreed to learn our first dance song and it was so lovely to have a live band playing for us. They were very easy to talk to in the lead up to the wedding and even nicer in person. Our guests really enjoyed the branded glow sticks that the band brought with them for the dance floor. Would highly recommend this band to anyone looking to add a group of very talented musicians to their event”

(5)

“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”

“The Wanderers were awesome; really added something special to our party!”
