Planning your wedding in Bristol? You are getting married in one of the most vibrant, creative cities in the UK — and your live entertainment should reflect that. At Hireaband, we have spent over 25 years helping couples across the country find exceptional bands, and we know Bristol's wedding scene inside out.

Whether you are celebrating in a converted warehouse in Stokes Croft, a grand Georgian venue in Clifton, a rural estate on the edge of the city, or a country house hotel in the surrounding Somerset and Gloucestershire countryside, we will find you a band that fits the venue, the vibe and your guests perfectly.

Bristol has one of the best live music scenes in the country. It also means there are a lot of bands to choose from — which makes finding the right one feel overwhelming. Here is why couples trust us to cut through the noise:

• Something for every wedding style — From high-energy rock and pop to soul, funk, folk and acoustic, our roster covers every taste. Bristol weddings tend to have a personality of their own, and we have the bands to match.
• Clear, honest pricing — Our acts start from £1,240, and every quote includes travel so you always know the full cost before you commit.
• Support from first enquiry to your big day — Our team handles the details, liaises with your venue and is on hand throughout the whole process. You can relax and enjoy planning your wedding knowing the entertainment is taken care of.
