Wedding Band - HELP!

jhopkins84, 11 April, 2010 at 17:25 Posted on Planning 0 8

Hi,

I'm getting married this summer, and the band i was originally going to hire has cancelled which is a nightmare! Does anyone know a good wedding band in the London/ Surrey area that would be available?

Thanks!

    Hi,

    This band played at my sisters wedding last year and i'm using them myself for my wedding in august. They were excellent and very reasonably priced. here's their website: www.thesessionband.com

    Hope that helps

    Sorry to hijack this post - just wondered if someone could give me an idea as to how much a band will cost? Any examples appreciated.

    Thanks very much!

    Hi

    Sorry your band cancelled on you - did you not have any sort of agreement / contract with them? We may have availability, but it very much depends on your date - you can contact us or find out more about us through the website - details in the footer.

    To the "how-much-does-a-live band cost" question we have a page on our site that provides pretty good rules of thumb from a musician's perspective.

    How much should a live band cost?

    Hope this helps

    Tony

    Hi,

    Thanks everyone for so many replies, you've been most helpful. I've been running around like a lunatic trying to sort it, and at one point thought about not even getting a band. My date's the 12th august which is a Thursday to anwer your questions. And no Tony, we hadnt signed the contract and they were a close friend of my brother's so I decided not to go down the legal route. i've emailed a couple of people already about it so awaiting there response. Anymore help would be great.

    Thanks

    Hi Janine,

    I too have seen The Session Band and they were absolutely fantastic at one of my h2bs corporate events. As for the date, i honestly couldn't tell you about their availability. but get in touch with them via their website (which i think was already posted), i can vouch for their quality.
