North West Bands For Hire

Our professional North West party bands typically start from £1,250. This starting price secures a high-calibre four-piece band with full production. For larger 'showband' lineups or premium acts, costs will increase accordingly. Every quote we provide is fully inclusive of travel, high-quality PA equipment and lighting, ensuring a top-class sound at any venue across the region.

Your hire with us 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.

Transparency is key to our service. Most of our North West acts include travel within a 30-mile radius of their base in their standard rate. If your venue is further afield - perhaps in the heart of the Lake District or the rural Ribble Valley - a modest travel fee may be added. Rest assured, your initial quote will be 100% inclusive of all costs, with no hidden 'on-the-day' surprises.

To secure your first-choice act, we recommend booking 12 to 18 months in advance. The North West is home to some of the UK's most popular wedding dates and our elite bands often see their summer Saturdays and key festive dates disappear up to two years ahead. Securing your date early ensures you have the pick of our most sought-after talent.

Typically, our bands provide 2 x 60-minute or 3 x 40-minute live sets - carefully curated to build momentum and keep your dance floor packed. In addition to the live performance, every Tailored Entertainment booking includes a complimentary bespoke DJ service for the gaps between sets and the end of the night, ensuring the party never stops.

Absolutely. Our North West roster is built on versatility. Most acts are experts at blending Indie Rock, Soul & Motown and modern chart hits to appeal to every generation of your guest list. Beyond the standard party sets, we also offer specialist acts ranging from 90s-themed throwback bands and Interactive Bandeoke to contemporary DJs with Live Sax and roaming acoustic acts for your drinks reception.

We love making your event personal. Our bands will happily learn and perform one special request as standard - usually your first dance or a specific high-energy floor-filler. We’ll coordinate with you in the months leading up to the event to ensure the band has plenty of time to perfect your choice for a true 'lifetime-highlight' moment.

Our bands typically require 90 minutes to load in, set up and complete a professional sound check. This ensures the audio is perfectly balanced for your specific venue's acoustics. We always coordinate directly with your venue's wedding team to ensure the setup happens discreetly and fits seamlessly with your day's schedule.

We don't just book bands; we curate lifetime-highlight experiences. With over a decade of expertise, Tailored Entertainment is the North West’s trusted choice for premium live music. Every act on our roster is handpicked for their talent, reliability and stage presence. From your initial enquiry to the final encore, our dedicated team provides a seamless, stress-free planning process, ensuring your celebration is nothing short of legendary.
