Wedding Bands in Cornwall

Hire a wedding band in Cornwall

From the north coast near Padstow to the creeks of the Roseland Peninsula and the harbour town of Fowey, Cornwall 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 Cornwall well: Cornwall's coves and its inland farms, and the venues built into them. Every band listed here travels to Cornwall 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 Cornwall 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 Tuesday in March can cost less than a Saturday in July, 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

Most Cornwall weddings book a four- or five-piece for somewhere between £1,400 and £2,600, all in including PA, lighting and travel. What moves the figure is the line-up size, the day of the week and the season.
All of it — Marazanvose, Launcells, Lanteglos-by-Fowey, Lostwithiel and Trelill and everywhere between, plus the surrounding towns and villages just over the county line.
Some of the grandest venues run their own noise conditions or curfews, so it's worth confirming the licence when you book — we can usually tell you what to expect if we've played there before.
Yes, in almost every case — tell us the song when you book and we'll confirm it.
Twelve to eighteen months for a Saturday in peak season; off-peak dates and weekdays hold later.
Often, yes — we run private showcases, and every act has video and real reviews.

“UpTones were fantastic! Communication in the run-up to the wedding was quick and easy, they set up quickly and professionally on the day and really kept the energy alive throughout the evening of our wedding. We had a number of compliments on the band from our guests and would definitely recommend them as a wedding band.”

(5)

“The singer was just amazing and the whole bands vibe and performance was just brilliant. Every person we have spoken to since the day have said how amazing the band were and again the replacement singer as out of this world!”

(5)

“The Uptones were an amazing wedding band. All of our guests were very impressed by the quality of the singer, musicians and choice of songs. The band really got the audience going, making it truly a fantastic party for everyone. They arrived punctuality, were very friendly and professional throughout. We couldn't of been happier with our choice for band! Thank you very much!”

(5)

“The Uptones were brilliant at our wedding and we couldn't recommend them enough. Their entire set was a big hit with everyone as the dance floor was full all night. We didn't get involved in the set other than choosing the first dance song and we were so pleased we left it to them as their set list was perfect. We've since had so many guests mention the band, how good they were and how much they enjoyed the performance.
Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better band for our wedding and would highly recommend them.”

(5)

“The Tommy Guns were amazing! They really got the crowd involved (including getting the bride up on stage to sing a song), and allowed a guest to sing a song when they asked. They were flexible with timing. They were friendly and polite. Couldn’t have asked for a better performance!!”

(5)

“So much fun! Stereo Jack played at my wedding and they were brilliant!”
