Lunch time! Are you taking a little time off to browse the blogs and do a spot of wedding planning today? Perhaps we can assist with one aspect of that this fine Wednesday afternoon. Function Central offer an easy way to find and hire the UK’s very best wedding bands, musicians and DJs. They have a vast roster of hand-picked acts in every available genre, from bluegrass to gypsy jazz and every year they help thousands of brides and grooms find the perfect live music for their wedding.
The website has an online search feature to help you find live bands and musicians by genre, location, and price. Their team is always on hand to provide advice and recommend acts based on your exact requirements. All bookings are secured with easy-to-understand, online contracts, and the service doesn’t end there – their team will provide help and support right up to the day of your wedding.
Here’s a few more reasons why we think you should entrust your wedding entertainment to the team at Function Central…
1. Their standards are extremely high. Bands are added to the roster based either on personal recommendation or seeing them perform live. Even after a band is added to the books, the team will continue to monitor them closely to ensure they’re delivering outstanding performances and a professional service at every event.
2. They’re wedding band experts. Whilst they offer band and musician hire for all parts of their wedding day, including the ceremony and drinks reception, they specialise in bands for evening receptions. Working exclusively with a roster of outstanding young wedding bands, they’ll help you source an act that will typically play upbeat, well-known songs from all eras, catering to all ages and filling the dance floor in record time!
3. Every booking comes with a live music guarantee. If traffic, accident or illness should prevent an act reaching your event on the day, they have access to hundreds of similar alternatives who they can call on at a moment’s notice.
We asked Function Central what advice they would give anyone selecting entertainment or music for their wedding…
‘In terms of getting value for money, we recommend choosing an act based locally if possible – this helps save on travel and accommodation costs, which can become expensive when multiplied out over 4 or 5 band members. It’s also worth considering getting married during the off-peak months (October through to April) in order to get the best rates.’
‘Finally, it’s worth choosing a band which provides their own DJ service, before, between and after their live sets – this is usually provided either free of charge or for a reduced rate, saving you on the cost of hiring in a separate DJ.’
Function Central can provide musicians for as little as £150 for a classical guitarist, up to and exceeding the £3000 mark for a jazz orchestra! Although based in London, the team have scouted out the very best live music acts in every corner of the UK, from Penzance to Aberdeen. Wherever you plan to say ‘I do’, we think Function Central can help!
