In general, most harpists and string ensembles tend to quote on a per hour basis, meaning they'll charge a minimum performance fee covering two or three hours, and then an hourly rate after that. On average, you can expect a string quartet covering your ceremony and drinks reception to cost anywhere between £650 and £1000. Acoustic solo acts and acoustic duos will usually offer an all-in price to cover the wedding ceremony and drinks reception with prices starting from £250/£300 per musician.

I was hit with a feeling of magic

The Shakes were perfect. We cannot express how beautiful their voices and music was on such a special day. When I, the bride, walked into the ceremony room and heard The Shakes I was hit with a feeling of magic. They helped curate a beautiful and joyous atmosphere and we will be forever grateful for their magical contribution to our wedding day. We would recommend The Shakes to anyone who is looking for beautiful, but also slightly alternate music for your wedding day or special event.

They were perfect for our wedding

We loved Pop Club, they were perfect for our wedding, and had everyone up dancing. They are fun to watch, and great set of bubbly guys. Their singing and range of songs were exceptional, catering for all. Thanks Guys

Absolutely incredible!

We used Bands for Hire to book our wedding band Stylus. Stylus were absolutely incredible! Everyone was telling me during the wedding how good they were, and the range of music they were able to play! The 2 person acoustic set was the perfect start to the reception, then the full electric four piece was fantastic. I think the band also really enjoyed getting to play Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden at a wedding! They were able to play music that everyone enjoyed. I would highly recommend Stylus.

Electric Soul Club are an epic band. Obviously had seen quite a few YouTube videos so knew it would be too notch but they absolutely blew the roof at our wedding and had everything absolutely on point. No faults to them at all- everyone enjoyed their set and multiple people had chats with them and thought they were real gentlemen. Best wedding memories dancing to this band’s sets! They definitely took our wedding day to another level. Would be happy to book them again

The highlight of our wedding

The Highways were the highlight of our wedding. They had such vibrant energy and worked the crowd so well. Everyone was coming up to us and saying how they couldn't believe how packed out the dance floor was at all times! Many of our engaged friends have also asked for the details of the band to consider for their weddings. I would 100% hire this band again for ANY function. Thank you so much to them for being so excellent. (Thanks to John Hope for the photography)

Really set the tone for our garden wedding

Twenties Again really set the tone for our garden wedding reception and even took a request or two from our guests! Michael was very communicative and they were flexible to our timings, which ended being a little chaotic! Loved the spoons - must learn to play them some time! Their efforts were much appreciated given it was the hottest day of the year. Given I was a hectic bride, their ability to set up and get on with the job was fantastic. They contributed hugely to a fantastic day.

The perfect chilled, jazzy vibe to our wedding

The Swing Rhythms Trio brought the perfect chilled, jazzy vibe to our wedding. Their performance really added to an unforgettable day! They were everything we hoped they would be, true professionals and great musicians. Thanks again!

Absolutely incredible

I was slightly dubious about hiring a band I had never seen live however I am SO glad I did for our wedding. Tailor & Co were absolutely incredible and the singers voice was just gorgeous! Us and our guests absolutely loved them and the song choices were just what we wanted, no one left the dance floor the entire time they were on and we didn't want their performance to end. I will definitely be recommending to all my friends and for any future events we host, and I would encourage
