Wedding Bands in Bristol
Live wedding bands for receptions in Bristol
Whether you're planning a formal reception in a hotel ballroom or a relaxed party in a barn, the band sets the tone for the whole evening. Wedding bands covering Bristol play pop, soul, Motown, rock and indie classics, and most will learn your first dance if it isn't already in their set.
Popular wedding venues in Bristol include Barley Wood House, Goldney Hall and Paintworks Event Space, and our bands play weddings across Keynsham, Harbourside and Portishead. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we can usually say what size of band has worked there before.
Wedding bands come in many styles. Some focus on soul and Motown, some on pop and chart hits, and others on rock, indie or swing. Many offer an acoustic set for the ceremony or drinks reception as well, so you can keep the same musicians with you through the day.
We've been booking wedding bands since 1999, and every band on this page covers Bristol. 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.
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
Start with the room, then think about the feel you want. A tight four-piece gives you a full sound at a sensible price, while adding brass, keys or a second singer turns the evening into more of a show. If your venue has a sound limiter, a smaller acoustic-leaning line-up is often the safer choice.
A three or four-piece typically starts from around £1,400, while a six-piece or a band with brass can reach £2,600 or more. An off-peak date is often good value if your budget is tight. The price in your quote includes PA, lighting and travel, so it won't change once you've booked.
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.
Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.
