Prices for professional live vintage bands generally begin around £1,500. This fee guarantees top-tier session musicians playing authentic instruments, complete with professional-grade PA and lighting equipment. Larger ensembles featuring double basses, horn sections, or multiple vocalists will naturally command a higher fee.
Vintage and Mumford-style bands are incredibly popular for weddings and parties. Because of this high demand, we strongly advise securing your preferred band 12 to 18 months in advance - especially if your event falls on a weekend between May and September.
To guarantee a packed dance floor, our bands typically deliver either 2 x 60-minute or 3 x 40-minute live sets. Plus, all of our acts include a bespoke DJ service as standard, so the retro hits keep coming even when the band is taking a break.
You should allow approximately 90 minutes for a standard party band to load in, set up their equipment, and complete a full soundcheck. For acts with extensive lighting rigs or larger horn sections, a little extra time may be needed.
