Mumford & Sons Style Wedding Bands in Northamptonshire

Hire a folk-rock wedding band in Northamptonshire

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 Northamptonshire, 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 Kettering, Daventry and Corby or elsewhere in Northamptonshire, the acts on this page cover the whole area. Local venues include Park Farm, Daventry, Delapre Abbey and Fawsley Hall. If you'd like an acoustic set outdoors during the drinks, check the venue has a covered spot in case of rain.

Within this category you'll find Mumford-style folk bands, bluegrass and hoedown acts, and folk-rock bands with a Celtic edge. Many play folk versions of pop and rock hits as well as the classic folk anthems, and their song lists show exactly what they cover.

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

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.

A trio or four-piece typically starts from around £1,000, while a larger band for an afternoon and evening can reach £3,000 or more. The date and your set times make a difference too. The price in your quote includes travel, so it won't change once you've booked.

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.

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.

“They were absolutely amazing!! Could not recommend highly enough! They really made our wedding party incredible! Thank you so much!!”

“We wanted to pass on a note of thanks for delivering such a great set at our wedding on August 25th. It was fantastic to have you guys as a part of our day and loads of our guests have mentioned how much they enjoyed your playing. All the best for the rest of the year.”

“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!”

(5)

“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”

(5)

“Hickory Smoke were amazing and fantastic value for money. They really read the vibe of the room, switching between traditional ceilidh songs and more well-known covers, including songs that we had requested. Our guests were definitely not the best at following dance routines (especially after a few drinks)...but they handled it like pros! It was great entertainment - unique, inclusive, and our guests loved it. Thank you!!”

(5)

“You guys absolutely smashed it last night!!!! Everyone's raving about you. Apologies for harassing you to play another, we just wanted one more song!!! Thanks again for everything!"”
