Boasting more musicians per metre than characters in a Jane Austen novel, Derbyshire is bursting with artistic talent that promises to set your wedding celebrations apart from the rest.
Our Derbyshire wedding bands specialise in popular music for dancing – from classics by The Beatles and Stevie Wonder to current chart hits by Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa and Lizzo.
If mainstream isn't your thing – how about hiring a Latin band, a salsa band or a Caribbean steel band?
We supply live wedding music to fit every pocket, and our local bands can adapt their sound to fit your venue perfectly – whether you’re having a grand opening at a theatre or a wedding reception in a shoebox.
What's more, if you find a wedding band on another agency, we will match their price, leaving plenty of your budget left over for the rest of your plans.
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 band’s system is large enough.
Most bands will also bring lighting for both the stage and dancefloor. Check the band'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.
Of course. We have Derby musicians fit to play at Pemberley and entertain Mr Darcy.
Check out our classical wedding musicians

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.
