Wedding Bands in Hampshire

Book a live wedding band in Hampshire

Live music changes the feel of a wedding evening. Guests who would sit and chat through a playlist tend to get up for a band, and the energy builds from the first song to the last. Couples in Hampshire book wedding bands for receptions of every size, from 60 guests to well over 200.

Across Hampshire, our wedding bands play receptions in and around Basingstoke, the New Forest and Winchester. Venues in the area include The Elvetham, Lainston House and Stansted Park, each with its own space, power supply and finish time, all of which we'll check with the band for you.

Within this category you'll find three-piece party bands, soul and Motown groups, indie and rock bands and full line-ups with brass. Their song lists show exactly what each one covers, and most will take a few requests from you ahead of the day.

We've been booking wedding bands since 1999, and every band on this page covers Hampshire. PA, lighting and travel are built into the quote, the band sets up and clears away around your venue's timings, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

At a glance:

  • Most wedding bands cost between £1,400 and £2,600
  • PA, lighting and travel are included in the price you're quoted
  • Choose anything from a trio to an eight-piece with brass
  • Summer Saturdays book up 12 to 18 months ahead
  • A 14-day change-of-mind refund comes with every booking

Most wedding bands play two sets of around an hour, usually starting after the first dance, with playlist music in between. If you'd like live music earlier, many bands can add an acoustic set for the drinks reception or the wedding breakfast. Mention it when you enquire and we'll include it in the quote.

Expect to pay from around £1,400 for a smaller line-up up to £2,600 or more for a larger band. Line-up size matters most, then the date and extras such as an acoustic ceremony set. Every quote includes PA, lighting and travel, so nothing is added later.

Each band's page carries real video, audio, a song list and reviews from previous clients. A couple of clips will tell you far more about how an act works a room than any description can, so it's worth watching two or three before you shortlist.

Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day if anything needs sorting quickly.

FAQs

Most Hampshire weddings book a four- or five-piece for somewhere between £1,400 and £2,600, all in including PA, lighting and travel. What moves the figure is the line-up size, the day of the week and the season.
Winchester, Romsey, Andover, Whitchurch and the Solent coast around Hamble and Hayling Island, plus the borders of Surrey, West Sussex and Dorset.
Sometimes — access and load-in can be tighter at a sailing club or a waterside marquee than at a country house, so it's worth mentioning the venue type when you enquire and we'll flag anything the band needs to plan around.
Yes, in almost every case — tell us the song when you book and we'll confirm it.
Twelve to eighteen months for a Saturday in peak season; off-peak dates and weekdays hold later.
Often, yes — we run private showcases, and every act has video and real reviews.

Reviews

“Kickback were simply FAB! We had early communication from the band themselves and we arranged a phone call to go through the set. The band played the songs we wanted and allow us to have our own playlist on in between sets. They were polite, on time and very courteous. They learned our first song and absolutely smashed it. We cannot thank the guys enough for the memories they have provided us on our very special day. We cannot recommend these guys enough!”

“The Tommy Guns were more than what we could've asked for! They had everybody at the wedding up on the dance floor for the whole time they were performing and got us involved in some performances too! We actually saw them at a wedding over a year ago and they remembered us from this too! The fact that they were able to learn and perform our first dance song was the cherry on top!”

“Amazing band. Great play list and interaction with guests. Kept everyone dancing all night long. Made our day. Lana & Dave”

“We hired The Tommy Guns for our wedding in May and they were the perfect addition to our day. They had everyone on the dance floor throughout the evening and ensured that the guests had an amazing time! Their performance and professionalism was second to none and we're so glad they were the band for our special day! We're so grateful for their contribution and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a band for a special event. A huge thank you!”

“We booked Kickback after finding them on Hireaband and listening to the demo songs. Due to covid they didn't have any public shows so we couldn't hear them first live. Well I have to say we needn't have worried. Communication prior to the wedding was exceptional always prompt responses and really clear about instructions and tips about best set times etc. They arrived on time set up really quickly and had accommodated all of our requests including learning a new song for us. The dance floor was packed all night and all of the guests commented on the band which was testament to them being brilliant. If you want a band for a special occasion - then we would absolutely recommend Kickback”
