I just wanted to say how AMAZING the band were yesterday! Their acoustic set at the drinks reception was great and set such a lovely mood to the day. The two sets they played in the evening were absolutely fantastic! ... they had the dance floor full the whole time. Thank you so much for being a part of making our wedding the best day we’ve ever had.

Kent 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 Kent?

In a lot of cases, no! Because our head office and many of our most popular bands are based right here in the South East, we can often offer exceptional value with minimal or zero travel fees for events in Maidstone, Ashford, Tunbridge Wells and across the county.

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

We know that many popular Kent venues (like Cooling Castle Barn and The Old Kent Barn) have sound limiters to protect the surrounding countryside. 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 or drinks reception?

Absolutely. Many of our evening party bands offer an 'Afternoon Add-On' where an acoustic selection 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 outdoor spaces like Port Lympne or Leeds Castle.
