Local Bands

For professional cover bands for weddings and parties, we recommend a base-level starting price of around £1000. At this price, you’re ensuring that your local band is made up of your area's very best professional musicians with the requisite skill set, equipment, and production to perform at any events venue in the region. Keep in mind that this is a starting price, and lots of bands you’ll like are going to cost more than this.

As standard, a Tailored Entertainment band booking includes…

• Two hours of live music split into sets to suit you.
• Professional sound and lighting production.
• A pre-mixed disco playlist for in between band sets.
• PAT Testing and PLI Insurance (required by all UK wedding venues).

You also get our 5-star Tailored Entertainment customer service. From your first enquiry right through to the big day itself, you’ll have a dedicated booking agent on hand to answer any questions or arrange any last-minute changes. This kind of peace of mind can make all the difference in the lead-up to your big event!

Lots of our cover bands also offer ‘optional extras’ for an additional fee. These include services such as afternoon drinks reception add-ons, roaming acoustic sets, ‘band as DJ’ sets, early load-in and late finishes. You’ll find all these options listed in the band’s profile.

Yes! Our bands regularly travel to perform at parties right across the UK and abroad. If your event is taking place outside of their local area travel costs will be added and if your venue is around two hours or more in travel time, an additional fee to cover Travelodge-style accommodation will also be accounted for in your quote.

Yes! Our bands are more than happy to play at local houses and private residences. If your function is taking place outdoors, you just need to make sure that there is adequate electrical power for the band to use. For more information on this, you can chat to our booking team.

The price you see listed on the band’s profile is our guide price. This is the average amount that it will cost to book the band. However, there are a few things that might affect the final cost of booking your entertainment. For example, travel distance – the band’s guide price is based on them performing at local venues (usually within 30 miles of their base). If your venue is further away than this, there will be a travel fee added to your quote.

There are a few other things that might increase the cost of booking your cover band. If you would like the band to arrive early/stay late then this will incur an extra fee, and if you decide to book any of the band’s ‘optional extras’, these will also incur an extra charge.

For more information on this, give our team a call on 0800 564 2240. We’d be happy to answer any questions you might have.
