Hiring a musician in London: what to know

Set in Greater London, London is the UK's biggest events market with venues from Mayfair townhouses to riverside warehouses. Musicians & Bands working in London are regularly booked at venues like The Savoy, Kew Gardens and Asylum Chapel.

London musicians & bands typically quote £2,550–£4,500 for a 4–5 piece wedding band, with the spread driven by band size, sets played, agency fees and whether they bring their own PA / lighting.
