Overview

Starlight are a five piece powerhouse of a party band. Their ability to play almost every genre of music from any era is almost unparalleled in the wedding and party band world. 

Their lead singer Lily is one of the most talented and engaging performers around and is as happy singing a lounge classic as a rock anthem. 

Starlight pride themselves on making sure that your wedding or event is exactly how you want it to be and will tailor their performance to what you and your guests want on the night. 

The musicians in Starlight have performed all around the world and gained a wealth of experience, not just musically, but in the ability to entertain at any occasion. 

If you don't quite have the space or budget for the 5 piece, they do offer reduced line-ups including 4 piece without keys or a more acoustic duo with female vocals and guitar/male vocals/stomp box. Just ask about this in the comments section of your enquiry.

If you want the very best for your Wedding or Party then you cant go wrong with Starlight....

Starlight

Starlight were absolutely fantastic and the highlight of the party!

Starlight

Hi Lily 😘 I’m so sorry it has taken me this long to message you. We have just arrived home from our holiday.
I just wanted to thank you for being at our wedding. You were absolutely amazing and are such a talent. Everyone commented on how amazing your voice is!
Honestly thank you!! Xx

Starlight

The band absolutely blew us away. They performed at our wedding and they were absolutely incredible! We had so many compliments from both guests and other suppliers about them. Their set list is so varied and there was something for everyone. The dance floor was full and no one wanted them to stop. We are so pleased we found them as I don't think our wedding reception would have been the same without them. They were also such lovely people and so helpful in the lead up to the wedding. Absolutely outstanding and would recommend to everyone!

Starlight

Starlight played for our wedding and were absolutely brilliant! Lily and the rest of the band were accommodating from start to finish and not only learned our first dance song (and then switched when we had a last minute change of heart!) but also learned a song especially for my father in law and let him join them on the keyboard (twice!). The music was spot on and had everybody dancing all night long with a great set list. Wish I could give them an even higher rating!

Starlight

This band were energetic, friendly, talented, professional and all over fantastic addition to my 30th birthday event. I’m so glad I chose them, they really elevated the event with all the guests loving their songs, dancing all night and they couldn’t have got the mood more perfect for the party! I honestly cant recommend them enough and I had so many guests raving about them during and after the event, I would absolutely book them again without hesitation.

Starlight

Exceptional from start to finish! Great mix of music that guests of all ages loved! The dance floor was never empty at any point! Also lovely people that interacted with the guests to and helped make the perfect day for us! Thanks guys

Starlight

Thank you so much for playing at my husband's 40th! You were incredible! We all had such a great time and you are genuinely lovely people too!

Starlight

Well what can we say, booking them was a decision I’ll never regret! We were actually very fussy in picking our wedding band so we looked through the internet and our search was a rather large radius. As soon as we listened to this band we knew they were what we were looking for! Alternative, high energy and brilliant repertoire. They filled the dance floor and I was actually rolling around on the floor by the end of the night. They made a special effort to learn our first dance which was utterly FANTASTIC!!!
If you are thinking of booking them DO IT. Perfect band to have a brilliant evening of dancing and good tunes!

Starlight

The dance floor was full all night long… Lily's voice was out of this world.

Starlight

I’m so sorry I didn’t get to speak to you on the day we were just pulled a hundred different ways! But everyone was raving on your stunning voice! It was the perfect addition to our day 😍 thank you so much for being apart of it!

Starlight

Just wanted to say that the band was absolutely incredible on Friday. Honestly, every single guest had the time of their lives, and James and I did too, thanks to their brilliant performance! I danced until I could hardly stand, and made the best memories. Please do pass on to the guys how brilliant they were!

Starlight

Fantastic band - They were brilliant at my brother's wedding last year and brilliant again at my wedding this year. I highly recommend to anyone considering them. They were easy to deal with, accommodated our special requests, and got the party going and kept it going all night! Thank you!

Starlight

This band made our wedding, every guest commented on how outstanding they were and since the wedding 3 guests have asked for details to rebook for other events. They were very professional and everything went to plan, when you're booking through a website you do feel like you're taking a risk but we need not have worried. Very talented and lively bunch of people

FAQs

Do you provide all your own equipment?

Yes. Starlight bring their own PA system and stage lighting - all we need from you is a clear area to set up in and a power supply.

Will you be able to do my first dance?

Given enough notice, yes. Lily and the band need time to rehearse a song to the high standard they set themselves, so at least 8 weeks' notice is ideal. They've even learned first dance songs and then switched at the last minute for couples who changed their minds! If the song doesn't suit their line-up, we'll put it on the PA and go seamlessly into their set.

Are you insured and PAT tested?

Yes to both. Starlight carry full public liability insurance and all their equipment is PAT tested - we'll happily send your venue any certification that's required.

Can you work with sound limiters?

Yes. Starlight don't love them, but they can absolutely work within them - as a full five-piece with drums and horns available as an option, they know how to manage their sound to suit a range of venues.

What happens if one of the band is ill on the day of my event?

Starlight have a network of fellow musicians they can call on to stand in on the rare occasion someone is unwell. On top of that, they're represented by the UK's biggest entertainment agency, with access to dozens of wedding and party bands in your area even at very last notice. However, they've never missed a gig yet.

How much do you charge?

Starlight start from £1,700 as a full five-piece. You can get an instant quote by clicking the button at the top of this page - you'll see your fee appear on screen, plus a follow-up confirmation email. If you're happy with the price and Starlight are available, get in touch with our team at Hireaband to secure the date - it's first come, first served.

How long do you perform for?

As standard, Starlight provide 2 x 1hr or 3 x 40 minute sets on the night, up until midnight. They can play past midnight for an additional fee (Late Finish add-on), and you can also add an extra 1hr set or an early arrival slot if you'd like more from them on the day.

How long do you take to set up?

As a full five-piece with drums, keys and PA, Starlight need around an hour to set up and check everything is working. If it needs to be shorter, just let us know and they'll do their best to accommodate.

How far will you travel?

Starlight's musicians have performed all around the world, so distance really is no object - they regularly perform all over the country, though an additional fee will apply for travel and they may need bed and breakfast arranged for the night.

Will the band provide a DJ service?

Yes, Starlight include a complimentary unmanned DJ service as standard whenever they're not performing - between sets and after their last set. If you'd like more than that, you can upgrade to their manned DJ Service add-on, where a band member stays on hand to look after the music and take requests.

Can we see you perform live before booking?

Weddings tend to be private, so Starlight don't always have public gigs to invite you to, but you can hear Lily and the band on the audio player on this page and watch their videos. We're always happy to jump on a call and talk you through what to expect, and if we do have a public performance coming up, we'll gladly send details your way.

Can we choose our own setlist?

Absolutely. Starlight are unique in that there are very few songs they can't play - their set list spans over 200 songs from the 50s right through to today, so there's something for every generation of guest. Send us a few 'must plays' and a few 'please avoids' and we'll build the night around them. If a song you want isn't on the list, just ask - the chances are they'll be able to play it.

Do you offer any optional extras?

Yes! On top of their standard five-piece package, Starlight offer a range of optional extras for an additional fee, including a manned DJ service, additional male vocals, a daytime acoustic duo for your ceremony or drinks reception, a horn section (sax, trumpet or trombone), early arrival, a late finish after midnight, and an additional 1hr set. Just let us know what you have in mind and we'll see what we can put together for your day.

Can you arrive earlier and finish later?

Starlight's standard on-site time runs up to midnight, but they're happy to be flexible around your schedule. Whether you need them there earlier for an afternoon slot (their Early Arrival add-on) or performing later into the night (their Late Finish add-on), just let us know your requirements and we'll do our best to accommodate - additional fees may apply for extended hours.

[NEW - PLEASE REVIEW] Can Starlight perform with a smaller line-up if my venue or budget is tight?

Yes. While Starlight's full line-up is a five-piece powerhouse with female vocals, guitar, bass, keys and drums, they also offer reduced options - a 4-piece without keys, or a more acoustic duo with female vocals and guitar, or male vocals and stomp box. Just mention this in the comments section of your enquiry and we'll talk you through what would work best for your space and budget.
