Wedding Bands in the South East

Book wedding bands anywhere in the South East

The South East covers a lot of ground, from Southampton, Cowes, Woking, Kensington, Brighton and Oxford. Our wedding bands travel right across the region, so wherever your wedding is, you'll find acts on this page who already know the venues, the roads and the local crowds. They're booked for country-house receptions, barn weddings and marquee parties.

Our listings for the South East take in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, East Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Kent, London, Oxfordshire, Surrey and West Sussex. 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.

Popular venues across the region include Lainston House, Appuldurcombe House, Millbridge Court, Royal Lancaster London, Michelham Priory and Hadsham Farm. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we can usually say which acts have played there before.

The category covers soul and Motown bands, pop and chart acts, indie and rock bands and bigger line-ups with brass. Their pages show exactly what each one plays, so you can match the act to your guests and your venue.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment since 1999. Every band listed here covers the South East, and PA, lighting and travel are included in the quote you receive. Use the instant quote button on this page to check prices and availability for your date.

What to know:

  • Budget £1,400 to £2,600 for most bookings
  • Every quote includes PA, lighting and travel
  • Travel within the South East is never added on later
  • Many acts offer longer or extra sets if you need them
  • Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Most acts perform two or three sets, with playlist music or a break in between. Share your running order when you enquire, including any special moments, and we'll build the quote around it.

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 South 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 South 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.

“Thank you so much to The Tommy Guns who performed at our Wedding in August 2025. I had seen the Tommy Guns at another wedding back in 2017 and decided there and then that if i was to ever get married, i would book The Tommy Guns - they were SO good! They played hit after hit for all generations and had the dance floor filled. They even helped fulfil a dream of the Bride by inviting her on to stage to be a Rock star for a song. I could not recommend them enough!”

“Juno were fantastic! We had a great night, and all our friends and family have also given us positive feedback. They really made the night! Loved that they were also able to do our first dance for us and played some fab tunes that got everyone dancing. Thank you so much!!”

“What can we say! We saw Kickback at a friend's wedding before booking them for our wedding! Beforehand, they were excellent communicators made sure we were happy with our setlist and to our surprise, actually played our first dance song live rather than playing a recording! Our guests loved them too, a great mix of music from all generations and we would highly recommend them to anyone! Thanks again guys!”

“Funking Brilliant were funking amazing!! Honestly incredible - kept our dance floor full the whole night and we had so many compliments from our guests about how good they were! They even orchestrated a special moment for the groom to finish the night singing Robbie Williams' Angels which will be a forever treasured memory! Thank you so so much for celebrating with us and we will be recommending them to all our wedding friends!”
