Hire a Live Band for Your Wedding Evening – Let’s Make it Legendary
Your ceremony was magical. The speeches were heartfelt (and maybe slightly awkward). The meal was delicious. But now it’s time for the main event — the wedding evening. And trust us, a live band for your wedding evening is what takes things from lovely to legendary.
We’re Funk City Band, and we’ve played over 600 weddings across the UK — and every time, the evening party is where the real fun explodes. The heels come off, the ties get loosened, and Nan somehow knows all the words to Beyoncé. This is our playground.
Why hire a live band for the wedding evening?
Because nothing beats the real thing. A playlist won’t react to the crowd. A DJ won’t pull off a sax solo while dancing on a table. But a seasoned live wedding band? Oh, we live for this stuff.
- 🎉 We build the energy live and in the moment
- 🎤 We interact — wireless mics, crowd shoutouts, full-on singalongs
- 🕺 We keep people dancing. From your 4-year-old nephew to your 84-year-old gran
- 💡 We even bring lighting and sound if you need it
Whether you’re having a laid-back party or a full-on festival-style bash, we’ll tailor the set to suit the vibe. Check out our festival wedding options if that’s your style.
Pick your party line-up
Small space? Big crowd? Want horns? Just vocals and guitar? We’ve got a line-up for every wedding evening. Choose from our:
- 3-piece band – minimal but mighty
- 4-piece band – compact, punchy, and very popular
- 7-piece band – full funk explosion, with sax, trumpet, and more
We’re flexible, but one thing’s non-negotiable: we bring the energy. No sleepy background music here — unless that’s what you want for cocktails. (In which case, we can totally do that too.)
The Funk City Band Experience
It’s not just about playing songs — it’s about *creating moments*. The surprise encore. The groom on drums. The bride rapping a verse of “Tjhe Fresh Prince of Bel air” (yes, that happened). We’ve got hundreds of happy couples who’ll tell you the same thing — the evening party is where we shine. Check out our reviews page for the proof.
We also offer videos and live clips so you can see us in action. Spoiler alert: we dance. A lot.
How it works
We’ll show up early. Set up discreetly. Soundcheck like pros. Play your custom first dance live if you want. And then when the time’s right — boom — it’s party mode. We’ll play two or three live sets and offer a playlist DJ between them (yep, we do that too). And if you want us to hype the cake cutting or intro the speeches? We’ve got the mic, no worries. We Genuinely want you to have a good time.
Let’s make your evening unforgettable
Hiring a live band for your wedding evening might just be the best decision you make (besides saying “I do,” obviously). It’s the thing your guests will talk about. The thing that gets remembered.
So if you’re ready to turn your wedding night into a proper celebration, get in touch here. Let’s talk tunes, line-ups, and how we can keep your dance floor heaving all night long.

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.
