Overview

The Verge are a young modern wedding and function band made up of experienced, versatile and outgoing musicians who have a massive set list that caters for all ages and genres.

The standard 4 piece consists of female vocals (who plays saxophone for a couple of tracks as well as a bonus!), guitar, bass and drums, with some backing tracks to fill out the sound even more. Their love of music has taken them around the world, partying and performing in over 60 countries on stages globally.

You can also choose to increase the band to a 5 piece featuring a male vocalist. If you prefer (or in addition), you can add on a dedicated sax player, trumpet, keys and/or percussion. They offer a package where you have the 2 piece horn section for a reduced fee.

Their repertoire consists of over 200 songs from the 50’s to current hits and can also learn a particular song if not currently in their set-list.

Included in the fee, your band will play 2 hours of live music, have background/disco music around live sets so there is no need for a separate DJ, provide full PA and lights that are PAT certified and are fully insured. They even offer an additional manned DJ service after their live set until midnight!

If you’re looking for an experienced covers band offering loads of energy and a wide choice of songs, look no further than The Verge. Click on the tracks and videos tabs at the top of this page to see for yourself.

The Verge played at our wedding in May. We wanted a band and found The Verge through recommendations on Facebook. For our first dance they performed an acoustic version of N Trance 'only love can set you free' this went down a storm and we were blown away with how incredible this sounded. The dance floor was packed all night, all our guests commented how amazing the band were. I would highly recommend The Verge. We are looking forward to seeing you very soon. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤️❤️

We booked The Verge Party Band to perform at our annual corporate do this January in Devon and they were absolutely amazing performers and a pleasure to work with. They created a brilliant atmosphere and energy on the dance floor and were a hit with our guests of all ages. I would definitely recommend them for any celebration!

Our wedding day was simply perfect, and a lot of it had to do with the wonderful performances by the band. Our guests raved about the music and the dance floor was always filled. We truly recommend hiring The Verge!

The band made the night! #onelastslosh was THE christmas party to remember! Ive already booked them for my own wedding next year!

WOW, these guys are amazing!! We booked The Verge for the day at Canada Lodge they sounded amazing for their acoustic set outside! Then for the evening and got everyone in party mode!! Thank you so much for being part of the most important day of our lives!

Better than we could have ever hoped for! The Verge from start to finish were the ultimate professionals, everything was executed perfectly, from the organising & planning to the big night. I couldn't recommend anyone more!

It was absolutely amazing! We loved that the band were so interactive with the crowd and they played some amazing songs that kept the dance floor full! We had every generation up and dancing and smiles on everyone’s faces all evening. A massive thank you to them all - we had so many compliments on the band and their performance.

The Verge were such an amazing part of our wedding day. Even with bad traffic on their way down this didn’t stop them from putting on a fantastic show for our guests with big smiles on their faces. All of them are brilliant musicians and we are so glad we picked them. Would highly recommend.

We both really enjoyed the band, the dance floor was nicely filled and having requested half a dozen or so songs they picked well for the songs they chose to make up the rest of the sets.

They were also easy to work with in the run up to our wedding and a generally nice bunch, so thanks from us :)

We cannot thank the band enough who really made our wedding something special! from communication prior to the day until the end of the night on the last song. They had everyone up on the dance floor, played a varied amount of music, and what talent! I have had nothing but wonderful feedback about how great they are, they really made the wedding reception for us. Thank you to all who contributed to us having such an amazing day!

For anyone who was wondering who our incredible party band was at our wedding, you will agree they were absolutely amazing! I cannot praise them enough for their hard work and for really taking the roof off Bishopswood house! Thank you for playing at our wedding.

Superb Band at COUP in Swansea. Vocalists are above normal standard, Amy Winehouse / Adele level and its true they keep everyone on the dance floor, just about everyone danced almost until midnight. I wouldn't be surprised to see this band go further one day or the vocalists especially.

Hire this band for your party! They were phenomenal at our wedding and had everyone dancing all night! They learned our first dance song especially for us and absolutely nailed it. All our guests were very impressed and they're such a talented bunch. Our wedding just wouldn't have been the same without them!

Wow! We are lost for words, you were incredible! Everyone had an amazing time dancing from a 2 year old to a 92 year old and everyone in-between!
My feet had a hangover.

Wow!! What can we say! This band absolutely smashed it! Everyone at our wedding thought you were fantastic! We are so pleased we booked you back last year! Being in the industry myself I definitely became extremely fussy when picking our wedding band. You knocked spots off any band I've seen and heard of.. we made the right choice for sure. Hope to see you play again sometime!

The Verge played at our wedding and were amazing! We had nothing but compliments! In the night time the dance floor was full ALL night! Our guests have already been contacting The Verge to make other bookings! We 100% recommend and look forward to seeing you guys again in the future. THANK YOU!

Thanks for the music guys… One of the highlights of the weekend

You guys rocked and I enjoyed every minute of listening to you play. One of the most beautiful voices I’ve heard. Thanks for making it an amazing evening.

The Verge are truly awesome, Their extensive set list is an incredible spectrum of music that is enjoyed by all. This is only surpassed by their fabulous musical talents as individuals, their performance can only be described as amazing.

FAQs

How far in advance should we book?

As soon as you know your date, really. Popular dates (weekends, especially in summer) can book up 12+ months ahead, but we've also pulled off cracking gigs with just a few weeks' notice if we're free. The earlier you lock it in, the more choice you'll have.

How much do you charge?

You can use the instant quote button on this page to get a price straight away — your fee will appear on screen, and you'll also get a follow-up email confirming it. If we're available and you're happy with the price, get back in touch with the Hireaband team to secure the date. It's very much first come, first served, so if we're available, don't hesitate.

What's your payment and cancellation policy?

Hireaband will ask for a reservation fee to secure your date, with the remaining balance due before the event (your booking confirmation will have exact dates and amounts). If you need to cancel or postpone, get in touch as early as possible — the closer to the date, the harder it is for Hireaband to fill the slot, so the cancellation terms reflect that. Full details are in your booking agreement, but the Hireaband team are always happy to talk through the specifics.

What if any timings change after booking you?

No problem at all. We know that timings and details aren't always set in stone at the booking stage, and plans have a habit of evolving as your big day gets closer. We're happy to be flexible around changes to your schedule, and if you decide further down the line that you'd like to add on any extra services, just get in touch with the Hireaband team and they'll sort it out for you.

What should we expect if we've never booked a live band before?

Totally understandable if this all feels a bit new! Booking a band is a big part of your day, so we're here to make it as straightforward as possible. We've performed at countless weddings and events, and the Hireaband team will guide you through every step, from your initial enquiry right through to the big day itself. If you're ever unsure about anything, just ask — that's what we're here for.

Can we see you perform live before booking?

We don't always have public gigs to invite you to (weddings tend to be private!), but we're always happy to jump on a call and talk you through what to expect. A public performance will often be posted on this page too, so it's worth checking back — and if we do have one coming up, we'll gladly send details your way.

How much contact will we have with the band before the wedding?

Hireaband will put you in direct touch with us around 3 months before your date, so you can go through all the finer details together — song choices, timings, any special requests and so on. In the meantime, the Hireaband team are always on hand to answer any questions you have, so you're never left waiting.

How many songs will the band learn especially for me?

We're happy to learn your first dance or a special request. Other songs depend on the time frame given and what the songs are. We're always keen to learn new things, so do let us know and we'll try to accommodate as best we can for you.

Can we choose our own setlist?

Yes, within reason. We have a core set of crowd-pleasers that we know works brilliantly, and we're experts at reading a room and picking the right songs on the night to keep everyone dancing. We're also always happy to tweak the setlist based on your taste — send us a few "must plays" and a few "please avoids" and we'll build the night around them. Just bear in mind that learning brand new songs from scratch (aside from your first dance) depends on notice — see above!

Will you be able to do my first dance?

Given enough notice, yes. It takes a while for us to rehearse a song to the high standards that we set ourselves. If you can give us at least 8 weeks' notice, that should be fine. The song also has to be suitable for a band. If we can't do it justice, then we can put it on an iPod and go seamlessly into our set at the end of it.

How much space does the band need?

This will vary depending on the size of the band and the setup on the night, but we've performed at a huge variety of venues and can comfortably fit into most spaces that have hosted a live band before. If your venue has anything a little unusual about it, we can usually find a way to make it work, so just get in touch if you're not sure and we'll be happy to advise.

What line-up options does The Verge offer?

Our standard 4-piece is female vocals (who also plays sax on a couple of tracks), guitar, bass and drums, with some backing tracks to fill out the sound. We can scale up to a 5-piece with an added male vocalist, and you can also add a dedicated sax player, trumpet, keys and/or percussion — including a 2-piece horn section at a reduced package fee.

What's the band's experience and repertoire?

Our love of music has taken us around the world, performing in over 60 countries. Our repertoire spans more than 200 songs from the 50s through to current hits, and we can also learn a particular song if it's not already in our set.

How long do you take to set up?

We ask for around an hour to set up and check everything is working, but if it needs to be shorter, just let us know and we'll always accommodate as best we can.

How far will you travel?

We regularly perform all over the country, so distance really is no object, but we will require an additional fee for travel and may need bed and breakfast arranged for us. Any price you receive already includes travel costs, so there won't be any surprise extras on top.

Will we need to feed you?

It depends on timings, but generally some hot food would be hugely appreciated. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Normally a catering company will provide a 'crew meal' as part of their package, or we're happy to have evening food that's already available.

What do you wear?

We tend to be 'smart casual' as in our pictures and video. However, we can be smarter or more casual depending on your event and requirements.

How long do you perform for?

As standard, we provide 2 x 1hr or 3 x 40 minute sets as required on the night, up until midnight. We can play past midnight, but it can incur an additional fee. We are flexible though and will always try to accommodate your requirements. We can also add an additional 1hr set for a small fee!

Do you take breaks, and what happens to the music then?

Yes, we'll take short breaks between sets to grab a drink and catch our breath! During these breaks we'll have background music playing through our own PA system, so there's never a dead moment on the dancefloor. Just let us know if you have a particular playlist or Spotify account you'd like us to use.

Will the band provide a DJ service?

Yes, as standard we provide a playlist DJ service whenever we're not performing — so between sets and after our last set, right up until midnight (or your curfew if earlier). These are tried-and-tested playlists that we've refined over countless events, but you're also welcome to send us your own playlist to play instead. If you'd like a bit more than that, we offer an upgrade to a manned DJ service, where a band member stays on hand throughout to look after the music and take requests on the night.

Can you arrive earlier and finish later?

Our standard on-site time runs from 6pm to midnight, but we're happy to be flexible around your schedule. Whether you need us there earlier for an afternoon slot or performing later into the night, just let us know your requirements and we'll do our best to accommodate — additional fees may apply for extended hours.

Do you offer any optional extras?

Yes! On top of our standard package, we can offer a range of optional extras for an additional fee — things like extra performance sets, a manned DJ service, acoustic sets for your ceremony or drinks reception, and more. Just let us know what you have in mind and we'll see what we can put together for your day.

Do you provide all your own equipment?

Yes, all we need is a clear area in which to set up and a power supply.

Are you insured and PAT tested?

Yes to both. We carry full public liability insurance, and all our equipment is PAT tested annually. Hireaband will send your venue any certification that's required.

Can you work with sound limiters?

Yes. We don't 'love' them, but we absolutely can work within them.

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

We have a network of fellow musicians that we can call on to stand in on the rare occasion one of the band is ill. On top of that, Hireaband is the UK's biggest entertainment agency and has access to dozens of wedding bands in your area even at the very last minute. However, we've never missed a gig yet.
