Wedding Bands in Newcastle upon Tyne

Book a live wedding band in Newcastle upon Tyne

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

Popular wedding venues in Newcastle upon Tyne include The Parlour at Blagdon, The Biscuit Factory and Matfen Hall, and our bands play weddings across the Quayside, Gateshead and Jesmond. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we can usually say what size of band has worked there before.

Not every wedding band does the same job. Some are known for a big, polished show with brass and several singers, others for a relaxed, feel-good party set. Knowing the kind of evening you want makes the choice much easier.

We've been booking wedding bands since 1999, and every band on this page covers Newcastle upon Tyne. PA, lighting and travel are built into the quote, the band sets up and clears away around your venue's timings, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

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
  • Choose anything from a trio to an eight-piece with brass
  • Summer Saturdays book up 12 to 18 months ahead
  • A 14-day change-of-mind refund comes with every booking

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.

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.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.

FAQs

Most Newcastle upon Tyne 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 — Newcastle city centre, Seaton Burn, Ouseburn, Hadrian's Wall and the wider Tyne Valley and everywhere between, plus the surrounding towns 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.

Reviews

“My wife and I cannot speak highly enough of The Tommy Guns. Their performance at our wedding was the perfect balance of indie swagger and crow pleasing favourites. The band themselves are friendly and relaxed. The inclusion of a handful of pop-punk anthems was greatly appreciated by many of the guests old enough to know better.”

“Stereo Jack were fantastic at our 2017 New Year’s Eve Gala. From the moment they started playing, our guests headed to the dancefloor and were entertained all evening with a very energetic and fantastic performance from the band. A big thank you from the Hockwold Hall team!”

(5)

“Fantastic band, on time and great communication before the wedding. They played loads of great songs that appealed to all ages of the audience and had tailored the latter part of the set to our music taste, when the alcohol had been flowing! Kickback were well rehearsed and played tight together. They sounded great and had set up like a group that knew what they were doing. Well worth the modest fee for their professional performance. Would highly recommend!”

“Band were fantastic (from what we remember lol). First song request was a great touch. Would recommend them and the website to anyone!”

“What a great bunch of guys. You were amazing on our wedding day 18th May 2018 at The Tithe Barn in Petersfield. Very polite and sounded amazing great entertainment. We have had endless comments from all our guest.
I am still waiting for my form to come through to join the band as I was promised!”
