Amazing Wedding band at Priston Mill

Live Music + Priston Mill = Wedding Goals

If you’re getting married at Priston Mill, first off — good choice. It’s one of those venues that feels like a secret fairytale hideout and a rustic luxury escape all at once. Honestly, the moment you step onto the grounds, you just *know* it’s going to be a special day.

But what makes a great wedding at Priston Mill an *unforgettable* one? You guessed it: live music. Not just any tunes either — we’re talking foot-stomping, horn-blasting, dancefloor-filling, sing-your-heart-out wedding bangers courtesy of the one and only Funk City Band.

What’s So Great About Priston Mill?

This venue is the dream combo of charm and elegance. Whether you’re in the Watermill or the Tythe Barn, you’ve got stone walls, soaring beams, and perfect acoustics for a wedding band to truly come alive. The long room sounds great for any party and the break out space means anyone who isn’t dancing (not many!) have the space to relax and enjoy the tunes as well. 

We’ve played plenty of Somerset weddings, but something about Priston Mill just hits different. Maybe it’s the way the venue wraps around the celebration, making every guest feel part of the action. Or maybe it’s the cider. Could be both. Dunno. Let’s dance anyway.

Enter: Funk City Band

We’ve brought our full 7-piece line-up to Priston Mill more times than we can count. We’ve squeezed into candle-lit corners with our 3 piece POWER trio. We’ve even done surprise sets (yes, we can hide behind barrels if needed — very stealthy). Whatever your vibe, we’ve got a musical set-up to match. Considering the space and everythnig with a live wedding band at Priston Mill we’d recommend the 4 piece band. ITs drums, bass, and guitar with *both* male and female vocals. 

Our usual at Priston? Guests arrive, we keep things mellow with smooth soul and acoustic classics. Then, after dinner… we flip the switch. Live drums, bass, guitar, sax, trumpet, and two lead vocalists who know exactly how to fill that dancefloor like it’s Glastonbury’s secret party barn.

What Couples Say About Us at Priston Mill

“Funk City Band were EVERYTHING we wanted for our wedding at Priston Mill. Classy acoustic vibes during the day and then full-on party mayhem at night. Literally every guest said the band was the best part of the day.” – Sarah & Jamie, 2025

Tailor Your Line-Up to Your Day

We’re not just one-size-fits-all. Our live music for Somerset weddings comes in several delicious flavours:

• 4-piece band — small but mighty, perfect for intimate barns
• POWER trio — dreamy for full on parties in smaller spaces
• 7-piece full band — with horns, high energy, and serious wow factor
• Optional DJ sets to keep the party going when the live set ends

Music That Moves With the Venue

We’ve learned a few things playing at Priston Mill. Mainly if you start with the right songs, the room responds. We ease guests in gently, then build and build until that barn turns into a full-blown festival tent.

Live music at a Somerset wedding isn’t about volume — it’s about *vibe*. We’ve got the right gear, the right energy, and the kind of flexible setlists that pivot between Motown, indie rock, 90s classics, and Beyoncé in a blink.

Thinking of Booking Us?

You should. Not just because we’re good (we are), but because we genuinely love what we do — and it shows. Every dancefloor filled, every chorus shouted back at us… it’s why we started Funk City Band in the first place.

If you’re having a party and want a brilliant band that actually gets the vibe and gets people dancing. This is really important to us. If that sounds good— get in touch. We’d love to be the fun part of your night. If you have a wedding or event in a different place we are local to Bath, Wiltshire, Bristol, Somerset and Reading too although we travel absolutely everywhere. *Except the moon*. When people dance too much in zero gravity they have a tendency to float off which can cause problems with our insurance.
