Our Cambridgeshire wedding bands range from small 3-piece line-ups
predominantly featuring guitars, through to ten-pieces with extra
backing vocalists, percussion, horn section and even dancers.
Most of them perform catchy and melodic rock and pop music from the last seventy years, meaning grandparents and grandkids alike can enjoy the music.
All our bands 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.
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!
Most bands will be happy to learn and perform your first dance request – provided they think they can arrange it for their line-up and do it justice!
Check the act’s profile to see what they can offer and if they can’t do it live, they could just play it through their PA system using Spotify or an mp3 player.
