Somerset Wedding Band — Live Music That Makes Somerset Weddings Truly Unforgettable
Why Somerset Wedding Couples Choose Funk City Band For Their Special Day
Somerset is one of the most breath-taking counties in England for a wedding. Rolling hills, ancient countryside, stunning barn conversions, and some of the most beautiful rural venues you’ll find anywhere in the South West. When the setting is that special, the music has to be worthy of it. Funk City Band has been performing at Somerset weddings since 2004 — over 22+ years of packed dance floors, emotional first dances, and receptions that go way past midnight because nobody wants to leave. We’ve played more than 630+ weddings in total, many of them right here in Somerset, and we know this county’s venues, its roads, its quirks, and most importantly — what Somerset wedding guests want to hear. We’re not just a wedding band. We’re the reason your guests will remember this night for the rest of their lives.

Somerset Wedding Band with 1,000+ Songs — Including Yours
Most wedding bands in Somerset turn up with a fixed setlist. You get what they want to play — not necessarily what you want to hear. We’ve always done it differently. When you book Funk City Band, we invite you to send us a playlist of your favourite songs. The tracks that make YOU dance. With over 1,000 songs in our repertoire covering four decades — from ABBA and Queen to Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars and Chappell Roan — we can almost always say ‘yes’. Take a look at our full set list and you’ll see what we mean. And if you’ve got a first dance song in mind — we’ll learn it. Properly. Live. That’s something most South West wedding bands simply won’t offer. We do it as standard.
Somerset Wedding Band Line-Up Options — From Intimate to Show-Stopping
Somerset wedding venues come in all shapes and sizes — from intimate converted barns holding 60 guests to grand country houses with 300 people and a proper stage. We have a line-up to match every one of them. Our 3-piece line-up — bass, drums, guitar and vocals — is the perfect choice for smaller, more intimate receptions where you want live music without overwhelming the room. Step up to the 4-piece line-up and we bring in a female vocalist — a complete game-changer for the energy and the breadth of songs we can perform. And for those big, ambitious celebrations, our 7-piece line-up adds trumpet and saxophone to the mix, and the result is something that genuinely stops people in their tracks. Every single booking — regardless of line-up — includes our free playlist DJ service right through until midnight, so the music never stops.
“We got married at a beautiful barn venue in Somerset and Funk City Band made the whole evening absolutely magical. We sent Craig a playlist a few weeks before and they played almost every song on it including songs they learned especially for us. From the moment they started, the dance floor was rammed. Guests who we never thought would dance were up there singing their hearts out. Still getting messages from people saying it was the best wedding they’d ever been to. We feel the same.”
— Jess & Dan, married at a Somerset barn venue
A Somerset Wedding Band That Covers Your Whole Day — Ceremony to Last Dance
One of the things couples tell us they value is not having to think about the music once they’ve booked us. Because we don’t just show up and play a set. We cover your whole day. We offer ceremony music so your walk down the aisle is exactly as you imagined. Our acoustic party duo is perfect for the drinks reception — background live music that feels warm and personal without drowning out conversations. Then as the evening begins, we take the stage and the real party starts. We use wireless microphones and wireless guitar rigs so we can step off the stage and into the crowd — bringing the energy directly to your guests rather than waiting for them to come to us. It’s one of the moments couples mention most in their reviews. You can see real footage of it on our videos and media page or over on Instagram @funkcity.band — it tends to say more than words ever could. We also carry full PAT test certificates and public liability insurance.
What Our Couples Say
“We had Funk City Band at our Somerset wedding and I honestly can’t fault a single thing. The communication beforehand was brilliant — Craig really took the time to understand what we wanted. On the night they were phenomenal. The dance floor never emptied, the free DJ kept everything going between sets, and the acoustic duo during the drinks reception was a lovely touch we hadn’t even expected to enjoy as much as we did. Absolutely flawless from start to finish. Thanks you, thank you! “
— Laura & Tom, Somerset wedding
“Our original band cancelled six weeks before our wedding and I was absolutely devastated. A friend suggested Funk City Band and they were available. They were reassuring, and on the night they were just extraordinary. I actually think they were better than the band we’d originally booked. If you’re looking for a wedding band — just book these guys. Don’t wait….and RAMBO TIES Hahaha”
— Sarah M., Somerset

Or….are you ready to Chat?
If you’re having a party and want a brilliant band that actually gets the vibe and gets people dancing (and you just can’t wait)— get in touch. We’d love to be 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.
