Finding the right wedding band can be a daunting task. There's a lot of information out there and even more artists to choose from. Music is an integral part of your day and it's something you want to get right! Here are six fantastic wedding bands to help get you started...
John Bull and The Bandits have been performing at weddings and events for the last ten years. Their upbeat live show is incredible - encompassing Blues, Americana and undisputed classics spanning the decades. An original act in their own right these guys have supported Ronnie Wood at The Hammersmith Apollo, played at The Albert Hall and performed at Glastonbury...
If you're looking for something a little different you might consider Old Dirty Brasstards. A 10-piece horn ensemble that will quiet literally blow you away. These guys regularly perform at the London Blues Kitchens, West End Musicals and at well known festivals up and down the country. Over the years they have reimagined the biggest pop hits of the day in brass format, developed a loyal fan base and become a hugely popular wedding band.
If the 90's are your jam then look no further. Sonic and The Boombox will guide you through the greatest hits of the greatest decade. Brit pop classics and spine tingling anthems you haven't sung since sneaking into the local nightclub with a fake ID. It goes without saying the players themselves are outstanding musicians. When they're not rocking weddings up and down the country they can be found playing in the biggest West End Musical productions of the day...
Soul and Motown are always popular genres for weddings and with good reason. The songs are incredible, timeless and perfect for a whole lot of dancing. Few bands work this genre better than The Soul Ensemble. A group of consummate musicians that will leave your guests screaming for an encore... and another encore... and another... you get the idea.
Not all weddings are alike. A lot of clients we work with forgo the more traditional sing along band in favour of a more understated live music element. Hot House Jazz fulfil this role perfectly. Their brand of gypsy leaning jazz will transport your guests back to the 1920's and transform your wedding into a Great Gatsby-esque soiree...
6. DJ's
Of course not everybody wants a band. A lot of our clients have limited space in their chosen venue or are simply looking to keep a lid on the budget. A DJ is a fantastic alternative to a live act and will have your guests singing and dancing in equal measure. Our DJ's offer bespoke sets to suit your tastes and can even take requests from your guests in advance...
We hope this helps. Feel free to get in touch with Craft Music if you're on the hunt for that perfect band for your big day. Our passion is delivering great artists, a whole load of dancing and lifelong memories...
