Our wedding bands in West Sussex specialise in catchy, melodic pop music from all eras – from rock'n'roll to Merseybeat, soul and Motown to
the chart-toppers of the 2010s.
But we have a larger variety of Sussex bands for hire in all genres – from playing jazz, ceilidh and barn dance to swing and reggae.
Lastly, if you're looking for music for your ceremony or reception, we do that too. Hire classical musicians to play you down the aisle, then book a jazz band to entertain guests during your banquet or drinks reception.
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.
Wedding music isn’t just about the final party.
If you're looking for background music to accompany your drinks reception or meal, try our jazz bands, acoustic musicians or singers.
If you're after West Sussex wedding musicians for the bridal entrance, exit or the signing of the register, our harpists or string quartets are a popular choice to make those moments extra special.
