Tribute Bands

The top tribute acts are as close as you can get to the experience of seeing your favourite artists perform live at your wedding without shelling out a small fortune - or persuading the band to get back together! From ABBA to Lady GaGa, Robbie Williams to Queen, relive the magic with authentic costumes, instruments and light shows to thrill your guests. Some bands perform tributes to cult films such as The Blues Brothers and The Commitments, or a tribute to a whole decade of music, such as the 1980s.
Check out Abba Express, The Complete Blues Brothers or The 70s and 80s Tribute Show.

Jazz Bands

Whether you're into the cool vibes of modern jazz or the sophistication and style of jazz standards, there's a band ready to set the mood at your wedding. Choose a Dixieland jazz band playing upbeat, foot tapping, traditional jazz for an outdoor drinks reception or marquee party. Fill up your dance floor with jazz standard bands recreating the fantastic music of the world's classic jazz artists such as Louis Armstrong, Dizzie Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. Or give your chill-out zone some laid-back beats with a modern jazz duo or trio. Be cool, daddy-o with these jazz bands - The Quartones, All That Jazz, Fascinating Rhythm Jazz Quartet or Silver St Dixie Trio.

Mariachi Bands

Cue the smart suits, sombreros and sounds of the streets of Mexico.
