Live Music for Wedding Receptions – Let’s Fill That Dancefloor

The ceremony’s done, the champagne’s flowing, and your guests are ready to party. Now’s the moment you really want to get right. Choosing the right live music for wedding receptions can turn your evening from “lovely” to *legendary* — and let’s be honest, no one ever forgets a packed-out dancefloor and a band that absolutely delivers.

At Funk City Band, we specialise in making wedding receptions unforgettable. Whether it’s our high-energy 7-piece line-up with horns or a tight, groove-heavy 3-piece set-up, we bring the heat, the hits, and the happy chaos that keeps everyone – yes, even Uncle Dave – dancing all night long. It’s the perfect live music for wedding receptions. 

Live Music That Matches the Moment

Your wedding reception should feel personal, exciting, and above all – fun. That’s why we build setlists based around *you*. Want soul, funk, indie, Motown, and a cheeky dose of 90s pop? Done. We’ll read the room and mix it up with singalong anthems, first-dance tearjerkers, and full-blown floor-fillers. One thing we do different to other bands… You make a playlist of your favourite songs and we’ll play those! We are a great wedding music band. 

We’ve played castles, tipis, barns, hotels, and back gardens. Wherever your reception is happening, we’ll set up, soundcheck, and bring the magic. And yes — we’re fully wireless and interactive, so don’t be surprised if we’re dancing in the crowd or handing the mic to your nan mid-chorus.

Reviews From Real Weddings

“Best part of our wedding by miles!”

“Funk City Band played our evening reception in Sussex and honestly, it felt like a gig, a party, and a love-in all rolled into one. Everyone was up dancing – even my friends who ‘don’t dance’. The vocals were amazing, the horns were 🔥, and they nailed our first dance song.”

– Amy & Josh, Southend Barns

“The energy was unbelievable!”

“We booked them for our Cotswolds wedding and they had the entire marquee bouncing. From Stevie Wonder to Blink-182, they played banger after banger. Loads of our guests asked where we found them — total pros and so much fun.”

– Natalie & Chris, Lapstone Barn

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.
