Wedding Bands in Birmingham

Hire a wedding band in Birmingham

From the canalside warehouses of the Jewellery Quarter to the leafy streets of Edgbaston, Birmingham gives couples a wide range of rooms to fill, and every one sounds different once it's full of guests and dancing.

Hireaband has been booking live wedding music since 1999, and we know Birmingham well: Birmingham's canals and its Victorian quarters, and the venues built into them. Every band listed here travels to Birmingham as standard, brings its own PA and lighting, and sets up and clears away on the night.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £1,400 to £2,600, depending on line-up, date and season
  • Always included: PA system, stage lighting and travel costs, in every quote
  • Line-ups from three-piece to eight-piece, with playlist music between sets
  • Most couples book 12 to 18 months ahead for a summer Saturday
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Room size matters more than guest numbers. A four or five-piece suits most Birmingham function rooms and barns comfortably, filling a dance floor without overwhelming the space. Bigger halls and marquees carry a six to eight-piece well, where brass or a second vocalist adds real weight. Smaller, more intimate venues often work best with a trio and a longer playlist between sets. Tell us your venue and we can usually say what has worked there before.

Most couples spend between £1,400 and £2,600. The number of musicians is the biggest factor, followed by the day and the time of year — a Monday in February can cost less than a Saturday in June, and there is often value in an off-peak date if your budget is tight. PA, lighting and any travel costs are included in the quote you receive, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.

Every band's page carries video and audio of that exact line-up, so you can see the band in action and hear the musicians who would actually play at your wedding, rather than a generic demo — alongside their full song list. Underneath are written reviews from couples who have already booked them, often at venues you will recognise. Between the videos, the set list and the feedback, you can form a clear picture of the evening well before you commit.

Use the instant quote button on this page and enter your date and venue to see pricing and availability straight away. Once you've chosen a band, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day itself. Every booking comes with a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the wedding day if anything needs sorting quickly.

FAQs

“Dear The Honey,
I'm not sure you realise what you did for us.
We had postponed our wedding twice, changed venues, lost suppliers and spent nearly three years trying to get to the day. By the time the evening came around, we were exhausted.
Then you started playing and suddenly everyone we loved was in one room, dancing.
Yellow was the moment I completely lost it. I looked across the dance floor and saw my mum, my best friend, my brother and my husband all singing together. It was one of the most beautiful moments of the entire day.
And then, naturally, you followed it with absolute chaos.
Kyanna was incredible - effortlessly good at singing - and the boys were completely locked in. Owen in particular seemed physically incapable of stopping.
We booked a wedding band. What we got was a proper live show, and it was so cool to make friends with you all after.
Thank you for giving us the ending our wedding deserved. We will genuinely never forget it.”

“We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better band than Tommy and the Big Guns for our wedding. From start to finish they were professional, self-sufficient, and so easy to work with. Setup was completely straightforward, timings were flexible on the day, and the whole process felt seamless. The sound was absolutely incredible, with the brass section and double bass adding something really special that our guests are still talking about. The atmosphere they created was pure party energy – the dancefloor was full all night, and both of us (bride and groom) didn’t stop dancing once! Their crowd interaction was fantastic, and they even gave me a big moment by letting me jump on the mic with Ian, which was unforgettable. They also learnt and performed Seventeen Going Under by Sam Fender just for us – such a personal touch that made the night even more special. We’ve had countless guests tell us it was the best evening band they have ever heard at a wedding, and we couldn’t agree more. If you want a band that delivers incredible sound, non-stop energy, and a packed dancefloor, we’d recommend them 100 times over

“Tommy & Sons performed at our wedding on the hottest day of the year (38 degrees!). They were professional throughout and so friendly. Due to the heat, most people were outside so were missing all the music, but the band happily set up outside instead and it turned the atmosphere into a much more relaxed, live music vibe rather than a wedding party, which was just what we were aiming for! The music was fantastic and we would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting live music at their event!”

“The Tommy Guns were phenomenal! We were blown away by their performance and so many guests commented on how good the band was! We spoke with Jono (lead singer) a couple of times to go through song choices etc and he was really helpful and easy to talk with. We would highly recommend The Tommy Guns!”

“I would say The Tommy Guns band were an absolute highlight of our wedding day! The team were very easy to liaise with pre the day and were seamless in terms of set up on the day itself. The song choices were excellent and they managed our playlist in-between sets without any intervention.

Really nice bunch, such a positive energy and dealt with guests trying to steal the mic! I will be recommending them to anyone who is looking for a band for their wedding!”

“Tommy & Sons were absolutely brilliant. We hired them for our wedding as we wanted the folk style music and they delivered and then some. Our first dance was amazing, and hats off to them for learning it as it was a very niche song that we've only found available on Youtube, they absolutely nailed it. Not only did they deliver exceptional performances, which were commented on over and over by the guests, they were also a really nice bunch of lads. At one point after set up, our 2 1/2 year old daughter decided she wanted to have a go on the drums and they were so accommodating of her. If you're in 2 minds as to whether to book them, just do it, you will not be disappointed”
