Mumford & Sons Style Wedding Bands in Surrey

Book a Mumford & Sons style wedding band in Surrey

Folk-rock bands are one of the most popular choices for barn and marquee weddings. Wedding bands across Surrey bring banjo, mandolin, fiddle and double bass, often play an acoustic set during the drinks reception, then turn the evening into a full-on foot-stomping party.

Popular event venues in Surrey include Bury Court Barn, Ramster Hall and Royal Grammar School Guildford, and our folk-rock wedding bands play weddings across Epsom, Farnham and Woking. 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.

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

Check the room and any sound limiter before you choose. Folk-rock bands can play quieter than a typical covers band, which helps at venues with a limiter, but the full evening set still needs power and floor space.

Expect to pay from around £1,000 for a smaller band up to £3,000 or more for a larger line-up. Line-up size matters most, then the date and extras such as an acoustic reception set. Every quote includes travel, so nothing is added later.

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.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.

FAQs
