Mumford & Sons Style Wedding Bands in London

Book a Mumford & Sons style wedding band in London

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

Across London, folk-rock wedding bands are booked for weddings in and around Westminster, Richmond and Kensington. Venues in the area include Syon House at Syon Park, Grand Connaught Rooms and The Gore Hotel, and barns, marquees and gardens like these are exactly where this style of band shines.

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.

Hireaband has been booking live music since 1999. Every folk-rock wedding band here travels to London 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.

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.

Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day if anything needs sorting quickly.

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.

Reviews

“More than lived up to our expectations and played a really good set, nearly all of our guests commented on how good they were and if I ever need a band for another function I would definitely use them again and would recommend them to anybody.”

(5)

“Thank you so much for performing at our event! It was an amazing night. Bully & The Banjos had everyone from the age of 18-80 dancing. Would highly recommend”

“We hired Chloe and the band for our vow renewal last weekend and couldn't have asked for better entertainment. There was a real mixed crowd - not really a country music fan-filled lot to be honest - but the band filled the dance floor from the first chord to the last drum strike of both sets and everyone commented on how excellent they were. Communication was excellent all the way and we even managed to get the first dance to our song which we didn't get at our wedding 20 years ago. Thank you for adding to what was a weekend that we will remember for the rest of our lives”

“Thank you for playing at our wedding earlier this year. The Cubs filled the dance floor with great tunes and kept people dancing all night. They also learnt a first dance song that we requested. Would highly recommend!”

(5)

“What an awesome night! We had such a great party and you guys were instrumental in making it so. Everyone loved your music and commented on how brilliant your performance was, including some ‘neighbours’ several roads away!! We’d said to our near neighbours that they were welcome to enjoy the music in their gardens and we ended up having 1 who came over and commented that he had to come to see you guys in person because he was enjoying the tunes so much! Can’t say fairer than that.”

“We hired the band for our wedding in Studland on Saturday 6th July. They were AMAZNG!! They looked great and sounded great too! The music was great and got everyone up and dancing, I had lots of guests asking for their details too. Thank you guys.”
