FAQs – Wedding Band Manchester
Do you travel outside Manchester for weddings?
Yes — we’re based in Manchester and regularly perform across Cheshire, Lancashire, Liverpool, the Peak District, and Yorkshire. We’re also happy to travel UK-wide for weddings, and travel costs are always clearly discussed upfront with no hidden fees.
What is included when we book your wedding band?
All bookings include our full 6-piece live band, professional PA system, stage lighting, and DJ music between sets. We handle setup and sound checks in advance so everything runs smoothly on your wedding day.
How long do you perform for at a wedding?
We typically perform two live sets in the evening, usually around 45–60 minutes each, with DJ music played between sets and after the final performance to keep the dancefloor full until the end of the night.
Can you learn our first dance song?
Yes — we’re happy to learn and perform your chosen first dance live where possible. We just ask for plenty of notice before your wedding date so we can arrange and rehearse the song properly.
Do you provide DJ music between live sets?
Absolutely — we provide DJ-style playlists between sets and after the live performance. You can even send us a list of favourite songs so the music perfectly matches your taste and keeps guests dancing all night.
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for peak summer dates, as popular weekends can be secured 12–24 months in advance. However, we’re always happy to check availability for shorter-notice bookings too.
Are you fully insured?
Yes — we carry full Public Liability Insurance and use professional, PAT-tested equipment. Many wedding venues require this documentation, and we’re always happy to provide certificates when needed.
Can you perform at small or large venues?
Yes — our setup is flexible and suitable for a wide range of venues, from intimate wedding spaces to large halls and outdoor marquees. We always coordinate with your venue to ensure everything fits perfectly.
