Wedding Bands in Shropshire

Hire a wedding band for your evening party in Shropshire

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 Shropshire 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 Shropshire include The Mill Barns, Hawkstone Hall & Gardens and Wistanstow Village Hall, and our bands play weddings across Oswestry, Bridgnorth and Shrewsbury. 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.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched wedding bands with couples right across the country. The bands listed here all travel to Shropshire, bring their own PA and stage lighting, and include 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
  • 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

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.

Expect to pay from around £1,400 for a smaller line-up up to £2,600 or more for a larger band. Line-up size matters most, then the date and extras such as an acoustic ceremony set. Every quote includes PA, lighting and travel, so nothing is added later.

Each band's page carries real video, audio, a song list and reviews from previous clients. A couple of clips will tell you far more about how an act works a room than any description can, so it's worth watching two or three before you shortlist.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the event. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.

FAQs

Most Shropshire 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 — Worfield, Weston-under-Redcastle, Alveley, Knighton and Wistanstow 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.

“We had Mirror play at our wedding and being someone who works in the events industry I see many bands throughout the year. Mirror were amazing!!! We had many compliments from our guests as to how good the band was. They really got the party going with an excellent selection of music which was tailored to our wishes and all beautifully played.”

“I booked Stereo Jack to headline the Bourn Beer & Music Festival! Firstly what a top-notch, decent and absolutely reliable bunch of guys these are! Secondly, they were absolutely blooming amazing and played a killer set which had everyone on their feet! Don’t be shy and book these guys!”

(5)

“Kickback were truly excellent - both during the acoustic set in the afternoon and the full evening sets: They sounded even better in person than the show reel!

Excellent and quick communication throughout the booking / scheduling process. Arrived punctually (despite having a very long drive) and loaded in / packed down with absolute minimum fuss.

Played an excellent set and had great flexibility with their repertoire - it felt like they were playing as a tailor-made gig just for us!

They turned a good wedding into a truly exceptional one. Bravo!”

(5)

“Mirror who played to over 250 guests were absolutely fantastic! I couldn't have asked for anything better and our guests thoroughly enjoyed their stints between meals and full set to finish the night properly. Many commented on how good they were and are considering booking them for their own events! They were brilliant, sound incredible and really got our event going. Thoroughly recommend and I’ll be booking them again!”

(5)

“Excellent music, extraordinarily nice guys and the lead singer has the voice of an angel!”
