LUXURY WEDDING BANDS FOR HIRE
Choosing your wedding music can be tricky, especially if you’re setting out to hire a wedding band for the first time, so we’ve done the narrowing down for you. These are the top-rated wedding bands on our books, ranked by how often couples book them.
Here at Jonny Ross Music, we represent some of the UK’s most talented and experienced function bands. From a high-energy party band and a soul and Motown band to modern pop and rock acts, indie rock and a full big band, our line-ups run from a 4-piece band with guitars up to a bigger set-up with horns. They know how to read the room and keep the momentum going from the first song to the final encore, at a modern wedding in a warehouse space or a luxury wedding in a country house.
We watch every live band play before it joins the roster, so each act has already proved it can hold a wedding reception.

ENTERTAINMENT FOR WEDDINGS, CELEBRATIONS & CORPORATE EVENTS
LOOKING FOR THE BEST WEDDING BAND? WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED
Book one of our function bands for weddings, and you get musicians who perform at weddings most weekends of the year, providing live entertainment at private parties and corporate events across the UK in between. They’ve played every type of event imaginable, so they know how to read a crowd and set your night on fire.
All of our bands for hire can perform a cover version of your favourite song! Our bands are experts in all genres, including Electronic Dance Music, Hip Hop, Jazz, Funk, Pop and even more retro styles of music, including Swing and rhythm and blues. A cover band will run classic hits back to back, a soul band brings brass and a bigger sound and a jazz band suits the quieter end of the day, so the best band for your night depends on the room as much as the crowd. Most acts spread a set list across the eras, so there’s something for older wedding guests over dinner before the rock and pop anthems fill the wedding dance floor.
Every professional wedding band on our roster handles the wedding entertainment from beginning to end: from their own PA, lighting, setup and soundcheck, to the timings you’ve agreed.
