Wedding Bands in Hertfordshire

Hire a wedding band in Hertfordshire

From the cathedral city of St Albans to the Chiltern fringe and the parkland around Hatfield, Hertfordshire 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 Hertfordshire well: the Chilterns and the county's commuter towns, and the venues built into them. Every band listed here travels to Hertfordshire 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 Hertfordshire 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 Wednesday in November 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 Hertfordshire 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 — Sarratt, Knebworth, Ware, Tring and Tewin 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.

“Jono and his band members were amazing. Always professional, amazing performances and got everyone dancing the night away! Thank you so much!”

“These guys should be headlining Glastonbury and when they are we will have the privilege of knowing they played for our wedding. When the pandemic pushed our wedding back and our band were unable to move with us, we were recommended Stereo Jack and I am so glad we were.
Not only did they learn and perfect our first dance song, which they played so beautifully I think I now prefer their version over Taylor Swift, but they also learned a range of other songs for us that we love and knew our guests would love.
For the rest of the night, they played hit after hit keeping both young and old happy, helping to make it the best night of our lives. We cannot rate them highly enough - don’t think twice, just book them! There is no other band that will do a wedding justice as much as these!
On top of this, they entertained our guests by being so chatty and lively so much that we felt they were integrated and one of us.
A big shout out to Aaron on the drums who, for many reasons, made the night and is etched into the memory of many of our guests!”

“Stop looking at other bands and book Kickback now…. Talented musicians had the crowd at our wedding dancing all night. Everyone was commenting on the good selection of songs and they’re top lads. You won’t be disappointed”

(5)

“The quality of the musicianship of Juno was amazing. We were surprised that the standard was so high from a bunch of young blokes. So much talent on display. These young men have a gift and gave us a fun time every night.”

(5)

“The Tommy Guns exceeded our expectations in both the run up and performance at our recent wedding and we have had consistent feedback from guests that they are the best wedding / event band that they had seen.

We hired the four piece both for the day during canapés and also for the evening entertainment. We opted to not contribute to choosing the set list and the guys did not disappoint. They read the room perfectly and the dance floor was literally bursting at the seems during every one of their sets.

Additionally, they went above and beyond in providing the music for the first dance and were happy to run and manage the music for a later ‘surprise’ dance routine performed by the bride and her father.

They were also so accommodating in agreeing to perform a number with the father-of-the-bride, a surprise for everyone and a real highlight of the day.

We can’t thank The Tommy Guns enough for their calm, confident and relaxed approach to the day, for accommodating all the personal touches and surprises and most importantly for being phenomenally talented musicians and keeping everyone dancing and singing at the top of their lungs ALL night. We can’t recommend them enough and are literally looking for an excuse for an event to hire them back again!”

“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!”
