Band Hire for Wedding Somerset

So, you’re hunting for band hire for a wedding in Somerset, and you want the kind of night where people forget
their drinks at the table because the dance floor is just… irresistible. Yeah, that vibe. And honestly, Somerset weddings already have that dreamy countryside charm going on — add a killer live band and suddenly the whole thing feels like a mini festival, but with better shoes.

At Funk City Band, we’ve played more Somerset weddings than we can count — Coombe Lodge, Priston Mill, Wick Farm, Orchardleigh… you name it. We turn up, plug in, smile at the nearest bridesmaid, and boom… instant party. Well, maybe not *instant*, but pretty close. The point is: if you want a high-energy band that actually gets people moving (not just politely swaying), you’re in the right place. Let’s DANCE.

Why Hire a Live Wedding Band in Somerset?

Somerset couples always tell us the same thing — they want a wedding with personality. Something warm. Real. Something that makes their guests go,
“Wow, okay, yep, this is gonna be a night.” And live music does exactly that. It lifts the room. It breaks the awkward early-evening silence. It gets Nan shimmying by 9 pm, which is honestly a public service.

Our line-up options range from a tight and compact
3-piece band for smaller barns and courtyards all the way up to our full
7-piece line-up with horns for that big festival feel Somerset couples absolutely love.
And if you want something perfectly in the middle? Our
4-piece band is the most popular choice for Somerset weddings — loads of energy, loads of presence, zero fuss.

The Funk City Band Experience

We don’t just stand in one spot and play songs. Honestly, that would bore us as much as it would bore your guests.
We move. We jump in with the crowd. We bring wireless mics so the singers can wander off into the chaos and hype the room.
And because we’ve performed at over 9000+ events in 20+ years including over 600+ weddings, we know how to read a room instantly.
If the vibe is Motown classics? Done. If it’s indie bangers? Easy. A bit of sing-along wedding chaos? We live for it.

Take a look at our videos and media page to get a feel for what we actually do. There’s absolutely no stock footage — just real parties with real Somerset couples screaming the words to Mr Brightside like their lives depend on it.

Real Review from a Somerset Couple


“We booked Funk City Band for our wedding at Priston Mill and honestly… unbelievable. Every single person was dancing.
My dad, who has not danced since 1989, was suddenly doing spins. The horn section was insane. Best decision we made.”
— Jess & Aaron

Planning the Perfect Wedding Party in Somerset

Whether you’re getting married in a barn, a manor house, or a marquee in a field that’s definitely not fully level (we’ve seen a few), we’ve got setups that work in all spaces. We bring full sound, lighting, and free DJ playlist options so the night flows without any dead spots.
Need ceremony music? Sorted. Drinks-reception acoustic sets? Easy. Want the singer to lead a conga line straight into evening food?
Consider it already done.

If you’re still choosing between a DJ and a function band or party band — or wondering if your guests will dance — listen, Somerset weddings are VERY dance-floor-friendly.
It’s the air. Or the cider. Or both. But trust us: with the right band, you won’t have a single dull moment.

If you’re having a party you probably 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 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.
