Wedding Band Swindon — Live Music That Turns Your Reception Into the Party of a Lifetime

Written by Craig Mitchell of the Funk City Band.

One Of Swindon’s Most Experienced Wedding Bands — 22 Years and 630+ Weddings Later…

Swindon sits in the heart of some of the most beautiful wedding country in England. The Cotswolds to the north, Wiltshire’s rolling countryside to the south, and a whole host of stunning venues right on the doorstep. When couples in and around Swindon start planning their big day, the live music is one of the most important decisions they’ll make. Funk City Band has been the trusted choice for weddings across Wiltshire and the wider South West since 2004. More than 630+ weddings (so many memories!) since 2004. Trust us…you’re in very safe hands. 

Over 22+ years of full-time professional live music. We know what works — and we STILL love every single second of it. 

A Swindon Wedding Band That Plays Your Songs — Not Ours

A Live Wedding Band Swindon

Most bands arrive with a fixed setlist and play it regardless of who’s in the room. We’ve always believed that’s not the right way to do it. When you book us as your wedding band in Swindon, we ask you to build a playlist of songs that matter to you — the songs you will dance too, the tracks that will have your gran up dancing and your university friends absolutely loving it. With over 1,000 songs in our repertoire spanning four decades, from Tina Turner and Prince to Ed Sheeran and Chappell Roan, we can almost always deliver. Browse our full set list and you’ll see just how broad that range really is. It’s your wedding. It should sound like you. You pick the songs and we’ll play those. 

Wedding Band Line-Up Options for Every Swindon Venue and Guest List

Whether you’re getting married at a grand Wiltshire manor or a beautiful converted barn just outside Swindon, we have the right line-up for your venue and your crowd. Our 3-piece line-up — bass, drums, guitar and vocals — is punchy and tight, ideal for more intimate spaces. The 4-piece line-up adds a female vocalist and opens up a whole new dimension of songs and energy. And for those couples who want to go all out, our 7-piece line-up brings trumpet and saxophone — when those horns kick in, the whole room feels it. (that is a big flex to your friends) Every line-up includes our free playlist DJ service until midnight, at no extra cost whatsoever.

“We booked Funk City Band for our wedding just outside Swindon and they were simply phenomenal. Craig was brilliant from the very first conversation — genuinely interested in us as a couple and what we wanted from the evening. The dance floor was full from the first song and honestly never emptied. Amazeballs! Over a year on, guests are still talking about it. Couldn’t recommend them more highly.”
— Charlotte & Mike, wedding near Swindon, Wiltshire

Swindon Wedding Band That Covers Your Whole Day — Ceremony to Last Song

We don’t just show up, play two sets, and leave. We cover your entire day. We offer beautiful ceremony music for your walk down the aisle, and our acoustic party duo is perfect for the drinks reception — warm, live background music while your guests mingle and the photos happen. We use wireless microphones and wireless guitar rigs, so when the evening kicks off we can step right off the stage and into the crowd, bringing the energy directly to your guests. See it in action on our videos and media page or follow us on Instagram @funkcity.band for real footage from real weddings. 

“We had the 4-piece line-up for our Swindon wedding and it was absolutely the right call. FCB learned our first dance song — something a bit unusual — and performed it live on the night. Then they launched into the party set and everyone was too busy dancing. Magical from start to finish.”
— Amy & Rob, Swindon wedding

“Sadly our original band cancelled three weeks before the wedding and I genuinely didn’t know what to do. A friend suggested Funk City Band and Craig responded the same day. They were available, they were calm and reassuring, and on the night they were better than I could have hoped for. Thanks you so much. Genuinely these are the people you want. Don’t hesitate.”
— Gemma T., Wiltshire

Ready to Chat?
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.
