Mumford & Sons Style Wedding Bands in Hampshire

Foot-stomping folk wedding bands in Hampshire

A Mumford & Sons style wedding band brings banjos, stomp boxes and big harmonies to your dance floor. In Hampshire, 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.

Hampshire has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Clock Barn and Tithe Barn to The Elvetham. Our folk-rock wedding bands travel right across the area, including the New Forest, Winchester and Portsmouth, so a festival-style wedding is never out of reach.

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 Hampshire 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

Many folk-rock bands offer an acoustic set during the drinks reception, playing unplugged among guests, followed by their full evening set. Booking both from the same band keeps the day's music consistent and often works out better value.

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.

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.

“We are SO glad we booked you to play at our wedding! People absolutely loved it and were commenting all night about how good the band was. You managed to fill the dance floor and even those who didn’t know some of the country music we had asked for were loving it. You played all our special requests too which was just wonderful and the fact you were able to learn and play Til You Can’t absolutely made our evening! It was lovely to see our friends and family having such a great time; it was certainly the highlight of our evening”

“The Cubs played at our wedding a couple of weeks ago and were amazing! Their sets were fantastic and kept the dance floor filled the entire night. They even learnt a song for the day which they then played for our impromptu first dance. We’ve had nothing but compliments from our guests on how great the band was and we really couldn’t recommend them high enough. Thank you for helping make our day extra special.”

“Hireaband were great throughout the entire booking process. Very communicative with swift replies to emails and very helpful responses. We rearranged our wedding 3 times and it was never ever any trouble to transfer the booking to a new date at no additional cost. Folkswagon were incredible. The band were very friendly and accommodating, nothing seemed too much trouble. They played a daytime set as well as an evening show, both were perfect. We had a full dancefloor and lots of comments from our guests on how great the band were. The guys also did a brilliant job playing our first dance song. We would highly recommend!”

“The band were amazing! It was the best choice we made booking Tommy & Sons. They communicated well in the run up to the wedding & when arriving double checked the plan for the evening. Everyone commented how much they enjoyed them. Thanks so much”
