We're getting married next July and are desperate to find a good live band for our evening reception. We want a band that can play covers of modern music but also some classics from 60s onwards, and someone who will really get people dancing! Does anyone have any recommendations? Our reception is near Bicester / Oxford. Thanks!

Have you considered using an entertainment agency? Function Junction are excellent.

For more intimate settings, a Jazz Band is perfect or if you'd like something to entertain your guests at a champagne reception.Soulful jazz music can help create a chilled out atmosphere to your event or you can liven it up with some foot tapping swing numbers.Whatever your preference, a Jazz band will definitely ooze sophistication at your event through guitar, bass and saxaphone melodies.

We hired a band and Fun wedding photos at our wedding. I cant recommend them enough as they both worked really well together.

I am not sure if they would travel as far as you, but I would try asking them.

If money doesn't matter then you should hire these bands for your wedding. Radiheads, supergrass and foals are excellent band.

Wow, lots of bands to choose from! Have you considered hiring a band that could potentially play during your ceremony / whilst guests are eating or chatting?

Lots of bands can do stripped back acoustic sets during the day and reserve a proportion of their repertoire for a full band, electric set in the evening to get your guests dancing.

I'd suggest, instead of just choosing a band outright, talk to an expert - they'll point you in the right direction and ensure that the entertainment for big day is a success!

Hey,

I want a band for my wedding as well. In my case we are booking a very small local band, which is not very popular so they aren't that expensive. Maybe you could look at some close by universities, they often have small bands there which are actually very nice!

Best,
Cindy

We used 29 Fingers (so called because one member has lost a finger)and they were sensational- played until midnight.
Nearly every letter of thanks we have received mentions them and how good they are. Travel allover.

Hi, I am not an agency. I am planning my wedding, just like you. If I may suggest one wedding band, it will be PianoGuys. The guys are so nice and they play every song so nicely. Check out these people at YouTube.
The bad news is I do not know how to contact them sad smiley

Sorry for this

Hi.
For anyone looking for a band, I'd say it depends on how much you can afford, and where you are based. I'd recommend considering whether you want to risk getting an amateur band, or getting one with professional musicians. If you can't afford a pro band, then consider a DJ: if they are good they'll know which are the songs that really work well, and can alter the songs based on the audience reaction. Sometimes bands play songs that they really like, but actually not many people dance to. If you can afford a pro band I'd recommend Hula Groove if they are available. They sound and look great live, and you can see from their website that they have lots of positive feedback.
Good luck!
Ron

Top tip - find a decent wedding DJ first then begin the hunt for a band. A single DJ rarely lets you down.
