Wedding Bands in Leicester

Couples in Leicester often plan celebrations that blend traditions, and the local music scene reflects that. Dhol players are a popular choice for baraat processions and grand entrances, bhangra and Bollywood acts cater for Asian weddings and receptions, and function bands cover pop, rock and soul for the evening. Many families book more than one act across a long day, so it helps to plan the timings carefully.

Venues and noise

Large banqueting suites and hotels in and around the city are generally set up for loud music, though they may still have finish times and limiters. Venues in the Leicestershire countryside, towards Charnwood Forest or the villages around the city, more often have neighbours and earlier curfews. Ask about this before booking any act, and check whether outdoor music, such as dhol during arrivals, is allowed.

Sets

Evening bands usually play two sets of around an hour. If you have a separate DJ, make sure the band and DJ know each other's timings and equipment needs.
