Lon­don Wed­ding Band FAQs

Can I see the band live before I book?

Most lux­u­ry wed­ding bands per­form exclu­sive­ly at pri­vate events, so pub­lic show­cas­es are rare. How­ev­er, Gecko Live can share videos and arrange vir­tu­al show­cas­es where available.

How much do Lon­don wed­ding bands cost?

For 2026, the aver­age cost of a luxu­ry Lon­don wed­ding band is around £3,200 for a 4–5 piece line-up per­form­ing up to two hours of live music. Larg­er show­bands or all-day per­for­mance pack­ages may cost more depend­ing on size and production.

Will the band learn our first dance?

Absolute­ly. All Gecko Live bands include a live per­for­mance of your first dance song where pos­si­ble. We’ll guide you on song choice to ensure it works beau­ti­ful­ly live.

What hap­pens if our tim­ings change on the day?

No prob­lem! Wed­dings are flu­id, and our team will liaise direct­ly with your venue and the band to make sure every­thing runs smoothly.

Can the band pro­vide music for the whole day?

Yes. Many of our bands offer all-day wed­ding pack­ages, includ­ing acoustic day­time sets, roam­ing per­for­mances dur­ing drinks recep­tions, and full par­ty sets in the evening.

How far in advance should we book?

We rec­om­mend book­ing as ear­ly as pos­si­ble. The best Lon­don wed­ding bands often secure dates up to 18 – 24 months in advance, par­tic­u­lar­ly for sum­mer Saturdays.

Do we need to pro­vide any­thing for the band?

Bands typ­i­cal­ly need a safe per­for­mance space, pow­er sup­ply, and soft drinks and an evening meal. Stages aren’t essen­tial but can help cre­ate a great visu­al impact for your evening party.

Can we request spe­cif­ic songs?

Yes! You can share a few must-play or do-not-play songs, and the band will curate a setlist that fits your taste and keeps the dance floor full.

What styles of music do your Lon­don bands perform?

Our Lon­don bands cov­er every­thing from pop, rock, and soul to R&B, funk, and con­tem­po­rary chart hits. Many also offer themed or bespoke sets tai­lored to your event style.

Will the band pro­vide light­ing and sound equipment?

Yes, all bands come with pro­fes­sion­al sound sys­tems and basic par­ty light­ing as stan­dard. Larg­er bands and venues may include upgrad­ed pro­duc­tion options for a more immer­sive experience.
