Bristol Band Hire FAQs

If you’re not quite sure where to start with finding the perfect live entertainment for your big bash, then we’re here to help. Here’s answers to some of our most frequently asked questions...

Contact Us

Do we have to pay extra for travel to Bristol?

In many cases, no! Because our agency represents many of the most popular bands based right here in the South West, we can often offer exceptional value with minimal or zero travel fees for events in the city centre, Clifton, North Somerset and across the wider Bristol area.

My Bristol venue has a noise limiter - is that a problem?

We know that many popular Bristol venues have sound limiters to comply with local council restrictions. This is not a problem. Most of our bands are experts at performing within these limits, often using electric drum kits or adapting their sound system to ensure the party vibe stays high without tripping the sensor.

Can the band perform for our ceremony, drinks reception or wedding breakfast?

Absolutely. Many of our evening party bands offer an 'Afternoon Add-On' where an acoustic duo or soloist from the band can perform during your ceremony or drinks reception. This is a very popular option for weddings at venues with beautiful unique spaces like Berwick Lodge. We also get asked a lot if bands can play an entrance song for the wedding breakfast - this works brilliantly and most of our bands will combine this offering with providing a mic for speeches and a background music playlist too.

How much does it cost to hire a wedding band in Bristol?

For a professional, high-quality wedding band in Bristol, prices typically start from around £1,400 for a 3-piece band, up to £4,000+ for larger showbands. This price doesn't just cover the live performance; it includes all top-tier PA and lighting equipment, travel expenses and a bespoke DJ service before, between and after the live sets to keep your dance floor full all night.
