Are you looking for a London Wedding Band?

A great band can really set the tone for the evening and create unforgettable memories.

But with so many options out there, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one. 

Here are the important things to consider when hiring a London wedding band:

• Experience: Look for a band that has extensive experience performing at weddings and other events, and check out their reviews and testimonials from past clients. 

 

• Genre: Choose a band that specializes in the type of music that you and your guests enjoy, whether it’s ceilidh, pop, rock, jazz, or a specific style of traditional music.

 

• Treat them like professionals. They will have put in 10,000’s of hours of practice between them. 

 

• Repertoire: Make sure the band has a wide variety of songs in their repertoire to accommodate different musical tastes and preferences. Some bands will do traditional music and be a cover band as well. 

 

• If you are having a ceilidh, make sure you practice the dances before hand. It’ll make a big difference on the night. Ask the London element of the wedding party to the Ceilidh Club. People will learn the dances which will make your reception go with a bang from the word go. It also gives people a chance to get to know each other. Contact The Ceilidh Club for a discount code.

• Size: Consider the size of the band, as larger bands may require more space and may be more expensive than smaller bands. Think about the changing facilities

 

• Equipment: Check to see if the band provides their own equipment, such as microphones, speakers, and lighting, or if you need to provide these yourself.

 

• Cost: Get a clear understanding of the band’s pricing structure, including any additional fees or charges for travel, setup, or overtime. A wedding band in London could cost anything from a few hundred to several thousand. While everyone needs to stick to a budget remember that the band will be one of things that people will remember most about your wedding.

 

• Availability: Check the band’s availability and book well in advance to ensure they’re available on your wedding day. It is important that you have provisionally booked the reception venue. Give the band the venue and the date and they will be able to give you a realistic quote. 

 

• Setlist: Discuss your preferences for specific songs or types of music with the band, and make sure they’re willing and able to accommodate your requests.

 

• Professionalism: Look for a band that is professional and reliable, and communicates clearly and promptly with you throughout the booking process.

 

• Don’t be afraid to ask their opinion. They will have been to many more weddings than you!

 

• Performance: Make sure the band can provide a high-quality performance.  This will entertain your guests and create a fun and memorable atmosphere for your wedding day.

 

• Feed and water them well. They may have travelled a long distance to get to the reception. Let them know in advance what refreshments will be available (and when). It will make a difference.
