Mumford & Sons Style Wedding Bands in Wales

Find Mumford-style wedding bands for your wedding in Wales

Finding the right Mumford-style wedding band is easier when you can see every option in one place. This page covers all of Wales, from Swansea Marina, Penarth and Wrexham, and every act listed travels to venues across the region for barn and marquee weddings.

This region page covers Cardiff, North Wales and Swansea. If you already know which area your venue is in, the links below take you to the page for that area, with venues and acts picked for it.

Venues across Wales include Oxwich Bay Hotel, Cardiff Castle, Bodysgallen Hall & Spa, Oldwalls Gower, Hensol Castle and Soughton Hall. It's worth asking yours early about finish times and any sound limiter, as both affect what works on the night.

The category covers folk-rock bands with banjo, fiddle, mandolin and stomp box. Their pages show exactly what each one plays, so you can match the act to your guests and your venue.

We've been booking Mumford-style wedding bands since 1999, and every act on this page travels across Wales. PA, lighting and travel are built into the quote, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

What to know:

  • Budget £1,000 to £3,000 for most bookings
  • Every quote includes PA, lighting and travel
  • Travel within Wales is never added on later
  • Many acts offer longer or extra sets if you need them
  • Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Start with the space and the guest numbers. A smaller line-up suits an intimate room or a venue with a sound limiter, while a larger act fills a ballroom or marquee. Tell us the venue and numbers and we'll suggest what tends to work.

Most bookings fall between £1,000 and £3,000. The size of the line-up is the biggest factor, followed by the date and how long the act plays. PA, lighting and travel are included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay, wherever you are in Wales.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the actual line-up you'd be booking, with videos, audio and a song list. Underneath are reviews from clients, often at venues you'll recognise.

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.

“From start to finish communication with Ian and the band members was great. They were very attentive and paid close attention to our wishes prior to the event. On the night itself this paid off as they catered to every detail and request we made. Their performance on the night was fantastic! All night myself and our guests were on our feet and I received countless compliments on the band. They're very talented at what they do and sounded great. They completely made our wedding reception! Thank you x”

“Karl and the band were excellent. I was apprehensive about having a Céilidh for the wedding as a number of our guests had never done one before but Karl was really good at explaining the moves and the guests absolutely loved it. It was a real feature of our wedding that everyone will remember for years to come. Thank you Hickory Smoke, I would recommend you to anyone.”

“All I've heard since the wedding, was how much everyone enjoyed the music, so many thanks to you and the guys.”

“Thank you very muck to Shoeshine for making our day a really special one. The band arrived and were attentive to the fact we were sitting down. They agreed to where we were wanting them to set up and didn't make any undue noise in the background for their sound checks. The first two sessions were perfect music for the day (it was really hot and everyone was outside) but the last session had loads of us on the dance floor and finished off what was a perfect day (even leaving some background music to the last minute!) The service has been fantastic and I would recommend Shoeshine and the Hireaband staff easily.”

“These guys were unbelievable - they had very guest on there feet dancing - some of which were still recovering from knee and back surgery's! They played multiple last songs and just gave out the most incredible vibe. I'm still getting messages from the guest saying how amazing they were :) 10/10 would recommend!”

“Hope Street played at our wedding on 18th August 2018. They were absolutely outstanding! Had the dance floor packed all evening and really made our evening reception one to remember for everyone. So many guests commented on how good they were i can't thank them enough and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top class band for your wedding. Hireaband were also a great agency to work with providing us with info whenever we needed it.”
