Yes! Our bands regularly travel to perform at weddings right across the UK and abroad. Last year in the North West, London-based Gatsby’s Jukebox performed a toe-tapping homage to the 1920s in Lancashire, and The Cover Club travelled from Birmingham to Lancaster with their high-energy, singalong-worthy setlist - and that’s just to name a couple!

If your wedding is taking place outside of a band’s local area, travel costs will be accounted for in your quote, and if travel time to your venue is around two hours or more, an additional fee will be included to cover Travelodge-style accommodation.

We cover all areas in the North West! Whether you’re planning a wedding near you in the North West, or organising a UK-based destination wedding, our exclusive bands will be there to celebrate your big day. Here’s a snapshot of our recent event locations in North West England:

In Cumbria, local band The Daddy-O’s played their festival-style act at Hidden River Barn, overlooking the twinkling river Lyne, and Soul All Nighters entertained at Eden Hall Estate near the Lake District.

Lancashire saw punk party band Kerrashed! perform at Georgian-style country house Eaves Hall, while Sunny Side Up brought energetic folk tunes in Grade II listed Rivington Hall.

Out in Merseyside, one of the UK’s iconic music hubs, The Roaming Tones showcased their interactive set at Aintree Racecourse, and indie rock trio The Dials hosted their diverse setlist at Mansion House in Calderstones Park.

In Greater Manchester, one of our top tier soul & Motown bands LP Collective travelled across to the Science and Industry Museum for a truly unique event. Local favourite Neon Sky brought high-energy tunes from across the decades to boutique-style Kimpton Clocktower Hotel.

Over in Cheshire, guitar-driven indie rock band On The One brought the party to the countryside at Arley Hall, while exceptional solo artist Rob played acoustic covers in exclusive wedding venue Colshaw Hall.

But this is just a drop in the ocean compared to the thousands of events our professional bands have collectively played! For a further list of North West cities, areas across the UK, and beyond, please visit our Wedding Band Locations listings.

If you’d like to speak to one of our bookings team about your location or venue - including private venue bookings - please give us a call on 0800 564 2240 or email info@tailored-entertainment.com. We’d be very happy to chat through any questions you may have.

Every wedding band’s profile includes their unique repertoire of music. We recommend taking this into consideration when booking your wedding band, and make sure that you like plenty of the songs on their list. Whether you’re looking for a floor-filling party band, or an acoustic accompaniment to your ceremony, the repertoire you choose should reflect the atmosphere you’d like to create for your big day.

When you book your act, we’ll ask you to go through your chosen band’s repertoire and highlight your favourites. You can also use this time to identify any songs you wouldn’t like to hear. The band can keep all of that in mind when putting the sets together for your big night.

As part of Your Tailored Event booking, all our wedding bands also offer to learn one special request (a song not listed on their repertoire). Lots of couples use this for their first dance, but you can also choose a song you love to go into the evening sets!

Our North West wedding bands are highly experienced in learning specific songs for our happy couples ahead of the big day. Recently, local band Neon Sky took on a beautiful first dance request with Frankie Valli’s classic ‘Can’t Take My Eyes Off You’. For a soft, romantic moment, Liverpool-based LP Collective were asked to learn ‘Beyond’ by Leon Bridges.

Our North West wedding bands cover all the most popular styles in contemporary wedding entertainment. We have soul & Motown showbands including Soul All-Nighters for glitzy, stylish events, and festival-style wedding bands like The Daddy-O’s and Wonderfolk for rustic barn and tipi weddings. For the ultimate party that’s sure to delight your guests, look no further than LP Collective and their setlist of singalong favourites.

If you’re looking for an all-out party with pop, indie or punk influences, you’re spoilt for choice with Hipshaker, Neon Sky, On The One, and Kerrashed!

Seeking something a little different? You’ll find a swaggering BritPop attitude and an alternative rock vibe in Shakemaker and Slippy Underfoot respectively. Or maybe you’d like to travel back in time? Well, we’ve got you covered with 50s-style Rockabilly Jukebox with their authentic swing setlist. If acoustic is more your style, our singer and guitarist Callum brings a timeless quality to his modern acoustic covers.

For a truly unique experience, have you heard of roaming bands? Aptly named, The Roaming Tones bring their unique acoustic style into the crowd, playing their set while moving around your entertainment space, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere that your guests will talk about long after the event.

But there are so many more styles and genres for you to discover beyond this! You can browse more wedding bands for the North West and beyond, along with using the search filters to narrow your request.

If you’d like to talk to a member of our bookings team about choosing a music style for your big day, feel free to call on 0800 564 2240 or email info@tailored-entertainment.com and we’ll be happy to help.
