Got a burning question about hiring an alternative wedding band for your big day? Here’s answers to some of the questions we get asked the most - and if you want to chat further, please get in touch and we'll be pleased to help.
Our alternative acts are specialists. They aren't just 'playing a job' - they are active musicians who live and breathe indie, rock and punk. You can work with them to ensure the setlist feels like a curated festival lineup, not a wedding jukebox.
Probably! But they don't have to be - alternative bands, especially pop-punk and indie acts, do tend to play with a higher energy than a standard function band - that is part of the appeal! However, they are all professionals using high-end equipment, meaning they can adjust levels to suit the room while keeping the energy high.
Yes. Even the coolest rock bands are happy to learn a first dance request for you. Whether you want a slow ballad or a mosh-pit starter, they will perform it live for your moment.
From genuine festival headliners - some of these musicians have performed at Glastonbury on the main stage with the likes of Stormzy(!) - to underground indie heroes, our alternative acts perform at unique venues across the entire UK. If you aren't sure which vibe fits your day, here are a few of our most popular non-traditional categories to get you started:
