“Huge, huge thank you for making our wedding! The band are true professionals who worked tirelessly in the lead up, and on the day to deliver the most perfect wedding music for us and I cannot recommend working with them enough.

Essex 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 Essex?

In many cases, no! Because our head office is South-East-based and some of our most popular acts are based right here in Essex, we can usually offer exceptional value with minimal travel fees for events in Chelmsford, Colchester, Brentwood and across the county.

Are your bands familiar with popular Essex venues?

Absolutely. Our acts are regulars at the county's most prestigious locations, from grand estates like Braxted Park to rustic settings like Maidens Barn. We hold bespoke technical notes for hundreds of venues, meaning we can handle the logistics directly with your venue coordinator to ensure a flawless setup.

My venue has a sound limiter, is that an issue?

Not at all. We know that many beautiful, historic Essex venues have sound limiters in place. The vast majority of our bands are highly experienced in performing within these limits, often utilising high-end electric drum kits and reduced speaker or 'silent stage' set-ups to ensure your party looks and sounds incredible without tripping the sensors.
