We also work regularly with couples getting married in Southampton, Winchester, Portsmouth, Basingstoke, Fareham and across the New Forest. Wherever your venue is, we'll find a band who can get there and deliver.

Wedding band prices in Hampshire typically range from around £1,000 to £3,000+, depending on the size of the band, how far they need to travel, and whether you add extras like a DJ set between sets or a PA system. At Hireaband, our acts start from £1,140 and we'll always give you a full quote including travel before you book.
We'd recommend booking 12–18 months in advance if possible, especially for popular summer Saturdays. The best bands fill up quickly — but if your date is closer, it's always worth getting in touch as we often have availability at shorter notice too.
Many of our bands offer this — including Juno, who make it a signature part of their service. When you enquire, just let us know your first dance song and we'll confirm which bands can accommodate it.
Yes — all of our bands bring their own professional PA systems and sound equipment. Many also include background music between sets and some offer lighting too. We'll make sure you know exactly what's included when you receive your quote.
We cover the whole of Hampshire, including Southampton, Winchester, Portsmouth, Basingstoke, Fareham, Alton, Andover, Petersfield and the New Forest. Travel costs are calculated per band based on your venue postcode, and we'll always include this in your quote.
Absolutely. Every band on our site has video and audio samples you can browse right now. We also run live showcase events throughout the year where you can watch multiple bands perform in person — a great way to get a feel for who's right for your day.
In the very unlikely event of an emergency, Hireaband will work immediately to find a suitable replacement. It's one of the key advantages of booking through an agency rather than directly — you have a safety net, and someone in your corner if anything unexpected happens.
