Wedding Bands in Northamptonshire

Live wedding bands for receptions in Northamptonshire

The evening band is the part of a wedding most guests remember. It's what gets grandparents and teenagers onto the same dance floor, and what turns a lovely day into a proper party. Couples marrying in Northamptonshire book live bands for everything from country-house receptions to barn and marquee weddings.

Whether your wedding is near Kettering, Daventry and Northampton or elsewhere in Northamptonshire, the bands listed here cover the whole area. Local venues include Kelmarsh Hall & Gardens, Crockwell Farm and Delapre Abbey. It's worth asking your venue early about its finish time and any sound limiter, as both affect the band's set times.

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.

Hireaband has been booking live wedding music since 1999. Every band listed here travels to Northamptonshire 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

Most wedding bands play two sets of around an hour, usually starting after the first dance, with playlist music in between. If you'd like live music earlier, many bands can add an acoustic set for the drinks reception or the wedding breakfast. Mention it when you enquire and we'll include it in the quote.

A three or four-piece typically starts from around £1,400, while a six-piece or a band with brass can reach £2,600 or more. An off-peak date is often good value if your budget is tight. The price in your quote includes PA, lighting and travel, so it won't change once you've booked.

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.
