Planning your wedding can be a rollercoaster — and when it comes to entertainment, figuring out how much a wedding band costs in South Wales can feel like a guessing game.

At Sugar Coat, we believe in being transparent about pricing so you can plan confidently and get the best value for your budget. Here’s everything you need to know before booking your live band for 2025.

💍 Average Wedding Band Prices in South Wales (2025)

For a professional wedding band in South Wales, prices typically range from £950 to £3000.

However, this can vary depending on:

• Band size (more members = higher cost)

• Travel distance

• Setup time and early arrival

• Late finish times

• Additional services like manned DJ sets or extra live sets

🎶 Our Packages (and Why They Work for You)

We’ve designed our packages to make pricing simple and all-inclusive - no hidden extras, no surprise costs.

Party Package – £950

Includes 2 x 45-minute live sets, sound and lighting, and a fully managed playlist before, between, and after the band.

Ideal if your venue doesn’t have a DJ but you still want continuous music and no awkward gaps - just a smooth flow from start to finish.

Deluxe Package – £1,200

Includes 2 x 60-minute live sets, a manned DJ service, full sound and lighting, and your first dance performed live at no extra cost.

Designed for couples who want a seamless night of live music and DJ energy rolled into one.

💡 Why Do Some Bands Cost More?

A professional wedding band isn’t just turning up for two hours of playing - you’re paying for:

Years of experience and rehearsal time

Top-quality sound and lighting equipment

Travel, fuel, and setup time

Insurance and PAT-tested gear (required by most venues)

A polished, professional performance that keeps your guests dancing all night

Think of it like this: you’re not just booking a band - you’re booking peace of mind that your night will be unforgettable.

💰 Cutting Out the Middleman = Bigger Savings

Many couples book bands through entertainment agencies - which is great for convenience, but those listings often come with commission fees of up to 35%.

When you book directly with Sugar Coat, you cut out the middleman. That means the same professional band, the same quality, but at a much better price.

You’re dealing directly with the musicians who will be performing on your night - not a middle layer of admin or added markup.

🎤 What’s Included in the Price?

No hidden extras — our quotes include:

Professional sound and lighting setup

Arrival, setup, and soundcheck

Live performance(s)

Background or DJ music between sets

Full public liability insurance and PAT certificates

❤️ Is It Worth It? Absolutely.

Your wedding entertainment sets the tone for the entire evening. A great live band doesn’t just play songs - they create moments that your guests remember forever.

We’ve played hundreds of weddings, and we can confidently say: the right band is worth every penny.
