Goldney House Wedding Band

Goldney House is one of Bristol’s true hidden gems. Tucked away behind the walls of Clifton, it combines beautiful Georgian architecture with spectacular gardens, an elegant Orangery and one of the country’s finest shell grottos. It is no surprise that couples looking for something genuinely unique often fall in love with the venue the moment they visit. The gardens, Orangery and historic house create an unforgettable setting for weddings throughout the year. The venue offers indoor and outdoor ceremony options together with exclusive use of its remarkable gardens, making it one of Bristol’s most distinctive wedding venues. 

At Funk City Band we’ve performed at some of the South West’s finest wedding venues, and Goldney House is exactly the type of venue where live music can transform an already beautiful day into an unforgettable celebration. As a band we love it there! Did they recommend us? Tell them we said hi!

Whether you’re planning a relaxed summer garden reception or an elegant evening party inside the Orangery, our professional musicians know how to build the perfect atmosphere before filling the dance floor.

Live Music That Matches The Beauty Of Goldney House

Every wedding has its own personality, and Goldney House certainly deserves entertainment to match its surroundings. Our wedding band performs modern chart hits, indie favourites, classic rock, Motown-inspired classics, pop anthems and huge sing-along floor fillers that appeal to every generation. Our set is a party that everyone will love. 

From your first dance through to the final encore, we carefully pace every set to keep guests engaged. Our experienced musicians read the room throughout the evening, ensuring the energy keeps building until the dance floor is completely full.

“Goldney House already feels magical when the gardens are lit at sunset. Add a packed dance floor and live music, and it becomes one of those weddings people remember for years.”

— Craig Mitchell (me!), Funk City Band

Perfect For Indoor And Outdoor Celebrations

Goldney House offers incredible flexibility throughout the day. Couples can exchange vows in the elegant Mahogany Parlour or outdoors in the beautiful Rotunda before moving into the Orangery for the wedding breakfast and evening celebrations. The Orangery comfortably hosts large evening receptions while overlooking the stunning landscaped gardens.

Our flexible line-up means we can tailor the entertainment to suit your wedding perfectly. Our full band creates an energetic evening party, while smaller line-ups work brilliantly during drinks receptions or earlier parts of the day without overpowering conversation.

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.
