London Band Hire FAQs

Got questions about booking live music in London? Our expert answers below will guide you through everything you need to know to secure the perfect act for your event, whether it's a wedding, party or corporate function.

Contact Us

How much does it cost to hire a band in London?

Prices for our professional live bands start at around £1,250 (Note: This is the starting price for professional function bands; larger/more premium acts will cost more). This ensures top-tier musicians, high-quality equipment and reliable production suitable for any venue in the area. Costs vary based on band size, event type, and travel distance.

How far in advance should I book my band?

We recommend booking your band 12 to 18 months in advance, especially for peak dates like summer weekends. Popular acts are often booked early, so securing your choice sooner ensures the best selection of high-quality performers for your event.

How long do the live bands perform?

Most of our bands perform 2 x 60-minute or 3 x 40-minute live sets as standard at weddings and parties, delivering high-energy, dance floor-filling music. All Tailored Entertainment bands include a bespoke DJ service before and after their sets, ensuring seamless entertainment throughout your event.

Can the bands cover a wide range of music genres?

Yes, absolutely. Our bands are primarily hired as versatile party acts with extensive repertoires covering Pop, Rock, Soul, Motown and modern chart hits. You can be assured the music will appeal to guests of all ages.

Will the band perform a special request or first dance?

Yes, our bands are delighted to learn and perform a special request, such as a first dance for weddings or a key song for parties or corporate events. We’ll confirm your choice in advance to allow ample preparation time.

How long does it take for a band to set up and sound check?

Function bands typically require up to 90 minutes for setup and sound checks. Smaller line-ups may take less time, while larger acts with extensive production may need more. Our team coordinates with you in advance to ensure a smooth schedule on the day.

Do the bands provide their own equipment?

Yes, all Tailored Entertainment bands are fully self-contained, bringing premium sound and lighting equipment. A bespoke DJ service is included as standard, covering all your event’s entertainment needs in one booking.

What are your payment terms for booking?

Every booking is secured by a formal contract, typically requiring a 20% deposit to confirm the date. The balance payment is then due 28 days before your event date.

Are London congestion charges and parking costs included in the quote?

Yes, our quotes for London bookings always cover the Congestion Charge and/or ULEZ costs the band will incur when travelling into the area. However, any parking costs that the band needs to pay to cover their time on site will need to be covered by you. We are happy to discuss any anticipated parking fees with you well in advance of the event date.
