With it's rich musical history and contemporary, bohemian lifestyle, Brighton is an irresistible option as a wedding location and a wellspring of musical talent.
Having witnessed the birth of bands such as The Kooks, Freemasons, Rizzle Kicks, Royal Blood, Fickle Friends and many more, music is undeniably in the very blood of this magical, colorful city.
Our wedding bands have played throughout Brighton and the surrounding area, including Hove, Lewes, Shoreham, Worthing and Eastbourne.
They've graced popular wedding venues such as the The King's Hotel, The Grand (De Vere) and Stanmer House, Buxted Park Hotel, Fabrica and Cissbury Barns.

They know how to make your wedding reception memorable and get even the shyest guests on the dancefloor.
Whatever wedding entertainment you choose, most acts will
learn your special song or first dance, even if it’s a birthday party
ballad by famous Brighton native Nick Cave or an anti-capitalist anthem
by Brighton band The Levellers.
All our bands for weddings are fully self-contained with their own PA sound system, microphones, backline amplifiers and instruments.
This works really well for most marquee or indoor weddings.
But let us know if you're expecting more than 250 guests, so we can check whether the act’s system is large enough.
Most bands will also bring lighting for both the stage and dancefloor.
Check the act's individual profile for more details and optional add-ons to enhance the show!
If you're after something more mellow for your ceremony or reception, we have Brighton wedding musicians that can provide that too.
Book a string quartet to serenade you down the
aisle, then hire a classical guitarist to entertain while your pictures
are taken.
You could ask the same musicians to perform at your evening party, as many of our bands provide acoustic options or classical musicians for the quieter moments in your day.
We love it when people get creative with their wedding themes and music.
Check out our brass and drums bands for an increasingly popular and refreshing alternative to the classic Brighton function band.

Before you book more musicians for afternoon background music, check whether members of your wedding band can provide this – it'll save you additional costs, such as travel.
