Mumford & Sons Style Wedding Bands in Nottinghamshire

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

For a wedding with a rustic, festival feel, a Mumford-style wedding band is hard to beat. Across Nottinghamshire, these bands mix acoustic instruments with a driving beat, playing Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers and hoedown-style covers that get every generation of your family up and dancing.

Popular event venues in Nottinghamshire include Inkersall Grange Farm, Hazel Gap Barn and Holme Pierrepont Hall, and our folk-rock wedding bands play weddings across Nottingham, Newark and Mansfield. Tell us your venue and the feel you're after when you enquire and we'll suggest acts that suit both.

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.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched live bands with events of every size. The folk-rock wedding bands listed here all travel to Nottinghamshire, include travel in the price, and arrive with their own sound set-up where it's needed. The instant quote button shows pricing and availability for your date in seconds.

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.

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.

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.

“We love Buskers & Sons!! We had the pleasure of these guys playing all day at our wedding August 2024. So relaxed but so professional. The guys learnt 4 new songs and absolutely smashed them. From the beautiful acoustic set for our ceremony and afternoon drinks to bringing the house down at the reception. We are so over the moon we chose The Busketeers! We would HIGHLY reccomend them!”
