Mumford & Sons Style Wedding Bands in Cambridgeshire

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

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 Cambridgeshire, 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 Cambridgeshire include Swynford Manor, Longstowe Hall and The Guildhall, and our folk-rock wedding bands play weddings across Cambridge, Huntingdon and Peterborough. Tell us your venue and the feel you're after when you enquire and we'll suggest acts that suit both.

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.

We've been booking live bands since 1999, and every folk-rock wedding band on this page covers Cambridgeshire. 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

Start with the kind of wedding day you want. For a barn or marquee wedding, a four or five-piece with banjo, fiddle and a stomp box gives the full festival feel. For a smaller party, an acoustic trio can bring the same sound at a lower volume.

Expect to pay from around £1,000 for a smaller band up to £3,000 or more for a larger line-up. Line-up size matters most, then the date and extras such as an acoustic reception set. Every quote includes travel, so nothing is added later.

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.

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.

“We just wanted to send an email to say thank you for an amazing night of music on Friday! We had many comments throughout the day about our chosen music for our ceremony and it only got better once you guys started to play! So thank you. A separate thank you is for allowing Matt and his friends to use your instruments. It was a complete surprise to me – incredible (even though I often tell Matt that he can’t sing…that clearly didn’t stop him) it was incredible. We had an absolutely fantastic wedding day, a massive thank you for being part of it.”

“From first contact through to booking the band Irving at hireaband was excellent, really patient and willing to give us advice on different bands to suit our taste. Tommy & Sons were outstanding! They were playing my dad’s wake for us which could have been a sombre affair but they got the place bouncing and the dance floor filled straight away. They were even willing to do a couple of non playlist songs for us that everyone loved. Everyone in attendance agreed that Tommy & Sons turned it into the send off he would have wanted. Thanks again”

“Paul and I both want to say a huge thank you for what we can only describe as a great performance on our wedding day. You guys were so good, and we loved having you as our evening entertainment. Our guests haven't stopped talking about how fantastic you were! We loved having our first dance performed by you live, it was so special and perfect, and we both thought you performed it really well.Thank you for also being so accommodating with Ryan's performance.We'd happily recommend you for anything in the future, so do let me know if there is anything we can do.”

“Excellent service from Ken at Hireaband when booking the fantastic Tommy & Sons for our wedding on Saturday. Ian and the guys were absolutely amazing from start to finish, great mix of classic old school hits to current day chart, everybody loved them and were up dancing from start to finish! Will definitely recommend Tommy & Sons to friends.”
