We are proud to host regular Music Showcase Evenings. Our Music Showcase Evenings give you the chance to find the perfect wedding & event entertainment.

Experience
Can we see the bands live?
To ensure you love the band you want, it’s a great idea to attend one our showcase events to see the band live. Visiting a live showcase allows you to experience the band’s performance first-hand, giving you a genuine feel of their energy, stage presence, and ability to interact with the audience. This chance is priceless for determining whether the band fits with the overall theme and aesthetic of your event.
Will the band learn my first dance song?
The first dance is the showpiece of your evening and it’s great to have your band perform the song live. When picking your band, think about which first dance you’re going to choose and which band would suit the song. We have some wedding bands for hire that are really good at romantic songs and others that are good for upbeat songs. It’s good to keep this in mind when selecting the band for your wedding or event.
Do your bands travel?
Our bands mainly cover Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool and Yorkshire but we also provide entertainment in London. We have a range of bands available, from rock bands to jazz bands, so you can find the perfect band for your event. Get in touch with our team to discuss your location
How long do bands perform for?
Bands tend to perform 2 x 45-minute sessions across an evening reception. Many of our bands can upgrade their set times to 2 x 60 minutes. Our bands also offer a DJ service to cover the whole wedding reception so the music never stops and your dance floor is still jumping.
What sort of music do your DJs play?
With all our DJ & Sax/bongo bookings we set up an online forum where you can build a playlist prior to the date. This is the perfect way of giving the dj the style of music you want at your wedding. They will then take requests on the night and personalise the evening to your wedding guests tastes. We make sure we play a mix of music across the night that includes everything from Motown, Dance, Pop to Rock and Indie!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
At our live music business for weddings, our process with each couple typically involves the following steps:
Initial Consultation: We begin by having an initial consultation with the couple to get to know their musical preferences, wedding theme, and any special requests they may have.
Music Options: We present various music options, including saxdj, bands, and acoustic acts, to the couple and discuss the pros and cons of each.
Customization of Playlist: We work closely with the couple to create a customized playlist that includes their favorite songs, as well as other songs that fit the overall theme of their wedding.
Coordination with Other Vendors: We coordinate with other vendors, such as the wedding planner or venue, to ensure that the music fits seamlessly with the other elements of the wedding.
