Wedding Bands in Leicestershire

Live wedding bands for receptions in Leicestershire

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 Leicestershire play pop, soul, Motown, rock and indie classics, and most will learn your first dance if it isn't already in their set.

Leicestershire has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Rothley Court Hotel and Willow Marsh Farm to Winstanley House. The bands on this page travel right across the area, including Market Harborough, Hinckley and Leicester, and are used to working with venue coordinators and sound limiters.

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.

Hireaband has been booking live wedding music since 1999. Every band listed here travels to Leicestershire as standard, brings its own PA and lighting, and sets up and clears away on the night. Use the instant quote button on this page to check prices and availability for your date.

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

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.

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 February can cost less than a Saturday in June. PA, lighting and travel are included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.

Every band's page has video and audio of the performers who would actually play at your wedding, a full song list and written reviews from people who have booked them. It's the easiest way to judge the style and the atmosphere before you commit.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the event. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.

FAQs

Most Leicestershire 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 — Prestwold, East Leake, Rothley, Woodhouse and Braunstone 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.

“Mirror Band were fantastic. Really great band. They turned our evening into a great party. Singer was brilliant, musicians fantastic and David was really friendly when we spoke to him about our first dance, band play list and unmanned DJ playlist. Would definitely recommend. Thank you so much!”

“Stereo Jack were FANTASTIC! They did such a great job at our wedding, the karaoke set in particular was really fun, thank you so much!!”

(5)

“Kickback were one of the highlights of our wedding, and everyone we spoke to after the wedding had mentioned how good they were. The whole experience from start to end was easy - from booking the band through Hire a Band, through to being in contact with the band prior to the wedding, then on the actual day itself - everyone was simple. The band had asked if we had particular songs we wanted them to play or if they should read the room and play based on that - we went with the latter and we were not disappointed!”

(5)

“Juno absolutely made our day! We were so excited to hear them play and they didnt disappoint. Now we just need to find another reason to book them for something...”

(5)

“What can we say about this incredible band!! They were easy to communicate with, went with the flow on the day when timings went differently to plan & were lovely to see around the venue between sets smiling and chatting. They absolutely blew us away with their amazing music & song choices. The dance floor was packed and our guests have raved about them! Thanks guys”
