Mumford & Sons Style Wedding Bands in Cheshire

Foot-stomping folk wedding bands in Cheshire

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 Cheshire, these bands play weddings first and foremost, and their mix of folk, bluegrass and rock covers suits guests of every age.

Whether your wedding is near Wilmslow, Chester and Macclesfield or elsewhere in Cheshire, the acts on this page cover the whole area. Local venues include Arley Hall & Gardens, Styal Lodge and De Vere Cranage Estate. 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.

Hireaband has been booking live music since 1999. Every folk-rock wedding band here travels to Cheshire 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 £1,000 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

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.

“Amazing night! Everyone is still buzzing, massive thank you to Ian, Jono and the guys for smashing it! They were flexible and professional throughout and during the lead up to the wedding helped plan ways to execute certain additional surprises! For the show itself, no one could believe it when they played 'killing in the name of' and I even crowd surfed at my own wedding, so all in all amazing memories! Well done guys! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding band that combines energy, style and charisma!”
