Roaming Bands in North Yorkshire

Book a roaming band in North Yorkshire

Roaming bands are one of the easiest ways to lift a wedding reception. Acts across North Yorkshire need no stage and usually no power, so they can start as soon as guests arrive, follow them from the ceremony to the drinks and move around the room playing to small groups while everyone mingles.

Across North Yorkshire, roaming bands are booked for weddings and events in and around Whitby, Thirsk and Harrogate. Venues in the area include Danby Castle, Middleton Lodge and Crayke Manor, and their gardens, terraces and reception rooms are ideal for a band moving between groups of guests.

Roaming bands come in many styles. Some play acoustic versions of pop and chart hits, some play vintage swing and jazz, and others bring brass, folk or a New Orleans street-band feel. Watching a couple of videos is the quickest way to find the one that fits your day.

Start with the space and the guest numbers. A duo suits a drinks reception of up to about 80 guests, a trio or four-piece suits a larger lawn or several rooms, and a brass band suits a big outdoor event or a grand entrance.

A duo or trio typically starts from around £800, while a four-piece or brass band for a longer reception can reach £2,500 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.

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.
