Our Shropshire wedding bands make a wonderful addition to your
celebration – typically they play all the classic songs form the last 70
years, as well as recent chart hits.
They can even learn your special song or first dance.
Our rock and indie bands will have your guests dancing on the ceiling all night, but if you predict a riot on the dancefloor, how about hiring something a bit mellower?
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.
