Wedding Bands in Northumberland

Find the perfect wedding band in Northumberland

From the castle-studded coast near Bamburgh to the wild hills of the Cheviots, Northumberland gives couples a wide range of rooms to fill, and every one sounds different once it's full of guests and dancing.

Hireaband has been booking live wedding music since 1999, and we know Northumberland well: Northumberland's coast and its border hills, and the venues built into them. Every band listed here travels to Northumberland as standard, brings its own PA and lighting, and sets up and clears away on the night.

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

Room size matters more than guest numbers. A four or five-piece suits most Northumberland function rooms and barns comfortably, filling a dance floor without overwhelming the space. Bigger halls and marquees carry a six to eight-piece well, where brass or a second vocalist adds real weight. Smaller, more intimate venues often work best with a trio and a longer playlist between sets. Tell us your venue and we can usually say what has worked there before.

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 Monday in November can cost less than a Saturday in August, and there is often value in an off-peak date if your budget is tight. PA, lighting and any travel costs are included in the quote you receive, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.

Every band's page carries video and audio of that exact line-up, so you can see the band in action and hear the musicians who would actually play at your wedding, rather than a generic demo — alongside their full song list. Underneath are written reviews from couples who have already booked them, often at venues you will recognise. Between the videos, the set list and the feedback, you can form a clear picture of the evening well before you commit.

Use the instant quote button on this page and enter your date and venue to see pricing and availability straight away. Once you've chosen a band, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day itself. Every booking comes with a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the wedding day if anything needs sorting quickly.

FAQs

Most Northumberland 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 — Chathill, Alnwick, Hexham, Riding Mill and Morpeth 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.
Often, yes — we run private showcases, and every act has video and real reviews.

Reviews

(5)

“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!”

“The band were absolutely fantastic and kept everyone dancing throughout the night. They were very friendly and were great when the groom joined in the singing. Great guys and great musicians.”

“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!”
