If you’re getting married in the Lake District, you’ll want music that is romantic enough to impress the Lake Poets! Our classical musicians can play all your favourite wedding music, including Parla Mi D’Amore, the Wedding Dance from Swan Lake, the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin and many others, recreating the sounds that William Wordsworth would have loved. If you’d like something more original for your ceremony, why not try a Cumbria steel band or jazz band?
Typically our Cumbria wedding bands perform a broad range of up-tempo, mainstream rock, pop, soul and chart music from the 1950s to the present day.
You’ll hear music designed to keep everyone on the dancefloor and appeal to all ages.
Our bands cover artists form The Beatles, Elvis, Queen, Prince and Oasis to Bruno Mars, The Weeknd and Dua Lipa.
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.
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.
