Wedding Bands in the North West

Book wedding bands anywhere in the North West

Whether you're planning a wedding in a city-centre hotel or a country house miles from anywhere, wedding bands in the North West cover the whole region. This page brings together acts that play everywhere from Windermere, Knutsford, Preston, Poulton-le-Fylde, Southport and Lancaster, so you can compare them side by side.

This region page covers Blackpool, Cheshire, Cumbria, Lancashire, Lancaster, Liverpool and Manchester. If you already know which area your venue is in, the links below take you to the page for that area, with venues and acts picked for it.

Venues across the North West that our acts know well include Armathwaite Hall Hotel and Spa and Peckforton Castle, Stanley House and The Norbreck Castle Hotel, and Ullet Road Unitarian Church and The Borough. Every venue has its own space, power supply and finish time, and we'll check those with the act for you.

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.

Smaller line-ups typically start from around £1,400, while bigger acts can reach £2,600 or more. Summer Saturdays and December are the busiest dates. The price in your quote includes PA, lighting and travel, so it won't change once you've booked.

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 West 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 West 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.

Reviews

“Without a doubt one of the best decisions of our wedding was to book The Tommy Guns!! They sounded unreal, were super professional and so much fun, also incredibly flexible to include the songs we liked (lots of nostalgic bangers and some good ol' cheesy tunes too). It was incredible to have them play our first dance, a song that wasn't originally on their playlist. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!”

(5)

“In a wedding full of musicians, you guys got a lot of appreciation from us all! But seriously, the drumming was insane!”

(5)

“The band were amazing! We hired them on recommendations and I will fully recommend them myself now! We are grateful for the band playing our wedding, from the acoustic hour to the evening performance they were amazing. I can not put into words how special they made the day feel. We look forward to trying to watch them again.”

“Absolutely brilliant - Kickback were so fantastic! Such great performers and an excellent mix of songs, we all have sore feet from dancing. Thank you so much.”

“The band were incredible. We couldn’t have asked for a better band. We feel so lucky we had them play for us. They worked the dance floor so well. We received so many compliments from our guests, and their interactions with our guests were amazing. The bride almost ended up in tears when she heard their version of our first dance it was that good and almost does when she thinks back to it. Would recommend Juno to absolutely everyone looking for a band to hire. The members were all chatty and down to earth. 10/10”

“Third Wheel played our wedding in May 2025, and were absolutely brilliant. They put on a great performance, and had everyone singing and dancing along way after their set time was supposed to end. Their song list was really varied and quite different to other more generic wedding bands - they had so many throwbacks to anthems from the 90s, 00s and 10s, which hit perfectly with our guests. They were friendly and professional, and flexible in adhering to the sound system and volume requirements of our venue, without compromising their set. They provided the perfect closing finale to our big day!!”
