Wedding Bands in York
Book a live wedding band in York
Live music changes the feel of a wedding evening. Guests who would sit and chat through a playlist tend to get up for a band, and the energy builds from the first song to the last. Couples in York book wedding bands for receptions of every size, from 60 guests to well over 200.
Across York, our wedding bands play receptions in and around the city centre, Haxby and Acomb. Venues in the area include Middlethorpe Hall, Grays Court and Hotel du Vin York, each with its own space, power supply and finish time, all of which we'll check with the band for you.
Wedding bands come in many styles. Some focus on soul and Motown, some on pop and chart hits, and others on rock, indie or swing. Many offer an acoustic set for the ceremony or drinks reception as well, so you can keep the same musicians with you through the day.
Since 1999, Hireaband has matched wedding bands with couples right across the country. The bands listed here all travel to York, 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:

A trio or four-piece is ideal for an intimate reception or a venue with a strict sound limiter. For 150 guests or more in a large room or marquee, a six-piece or bigger band fills the space properly. Tell us the venue and guest numbers and we'll suggest what tends to work.
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.
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.
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.
