Wedding Bands in Cardiff
Live wedding bands for receptions in Cardiff
The evening band is the part of a wedding most guests remember. It's what gets grandparents and teenagers onto the same dance floor, and what turns a lovely day into a proper party. Couples marrying in Cardiff book live bands for everything from country-house receptions to barn and marquee weddings.
Popular wedding venues in Cardiff include Hensol Castle, Miskin Manor and Llanerch Vineyard, and our bands play weddings across Newport, the city centre and Penarth. 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.
Since 1999, Hireaband has matched wedding bands with couples right across the country. The bands listed here all travel to Cardiff, bring their own PA and stage lighting, and include travel in the price. The instant quote button shows pricing and availability for your date in seconds.
At a glance:
- Most wedding bands cost between £1,400 and £2,600
- PA, lighting and travel are included in the price you're quoted

A trio or four-piece is ideal for an intimate reception or a venue with a strict sound limiter. For 150 guests or more in a large room or marquee, a six-piece or bigger band fills the space properly. Tell us the venue and guest numbers and we'll suggest what tends to work.
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.
Rather than a generic demo, every band's page shows the actual line-up you'd be booking, with videos, audio and a song list. Underneath are reviews from clients who have already booked them, often at venues you'll recognise. Between them you'll have a clear picture of the wedding well before the day.
Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day if anything needs sorting quickly.
