Wedding Bands in the North East

Wedding bands covering the whole of the North East

From Darlington, Middlesbrough, Gateshead and Hexham, the North East has a huge choice of venues and a busy calendar of country-house receptions, barn weddings and marquee parties. The wedding bands on this page cover the whole region, and many play several dates a month within it.

Our listings for the North East take in Durham, Middlesbrough, Newcastle upon Tyne and Northumberland. Each of those areas has its own page too, which you'll find in the links further down, but the acts here will travel to any of them.

Venues across the North East include Ramside Hall Hotel, Gisborough Hall, The Parlour at Blagdon, Charlton Hall, Black Horse Beamish and Rushpool Hall. It's worth asking yours early about finish times and any sound limiter, as both affect what works on the night.

Not every wedding band does the same job. Within this category you'll find soul and Motown bands, pop and chart acts, indie and rock bands and bigger line-ups with brass, and knowing the feel you want for your wedding makes the choice much easier.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched acts with clients right across the country. The wedding bands here all cover the North East and include PA, lighting and 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
  • One page covering every area of the North East
  • Popular acts book up early for busy dates, so enquire soon
  • A 14-day change-of-mind refund comes with every booking

Start with the space and the guest numbers. A smaller line-up suits an intimate room or a venue with a sound limiter, while a larger act fills a ballroom or marquee. Tell us the venue and numbers and we'll suggest what tends to work.

Most bookings fall between £1,400 and £2,600. The size of the line-up is the biggest factor, followed by the date and how long the act plays. PA, lighting and travel are included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay, wherever you are in the North East.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the actual line-up you'd be booking, with videos, audio and a song list. Underneath are reviews from clients, often at venues you'll recognise.

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 the North East 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, the season, and occasionally the venue's own power or access requirements.
All of it — Windsor, Ascot, Newbury, Reading, Maidenhead and everywhere between — plus the bordering parts of Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire and Surrey, since plenty of the North East couples marry just over a county line.
Yes, in almost every case. Tell us the song when you book and we'll confirm whether it's one the band already knows or needs to learn — either way, it's usually not a problem.
Yes — every booking includes a full PA and lighting rig sized to the room, so there's nothing extra to hire or arrange. If your venue has a sound limiter, we'll ask about it in advance so the band can plan around it.
Twelve to eighteen months for a Saturday in peak season, and January and February are the busiest months for booking. Off-peak dates and weekdays tend to hold later, so if your date's close, ask anyway.
Often, yes. We run private showcases where you can see several acts in one evening, and can sometimes get you into a public date too. Every act also has video and real client reviews to help you decide.
It's vanishingly rare, but every booking is backed by a deputy system and full insurance, and we're contactable throughout. Once a booking's confirmed in writing, the act that's confirmed is the act that turns up.

“The Tommy Guns = AMAZING! They are worth every penny. We chose them for our wedding and were not disappointed. Aside from being prompt and having great communication with Hireaband throughout, the band were so friendly and their music was so superb that the dance floor was never empty. So many comments from guests saying how good they were, I almost wish we were getting married again to have them back! Would highly recommend and will definitely have them for any parties in the near future. Thank you again, it made our wedding.”

“Huge thank you from us for playing at our wedding on August 6th - you were FANTASTIC! We expected great things but honestly you blew us away with your performance and energy - you brought something new to each of the covers whilst capturing the spirit of the original. Sophie, your vocals were just outstanding! It was really important to us that we had live music at our wedding and that we kept everyone on the dancefloor all night - your incredible performance did that for us, we had lots of compliments from our guests and we had the absolute best time!! Thank you!! Thanks for making it a night to remember! We wish we could do it all again! Do let us know if you'll be playing any gigs in Bristol as we would love to see you perform again.”
