What live music options can we book?
Function bands play the hits your guests know, usually in two or three sets, and keep the dance floor full. Roaming musicians, such as acoustic trios, strolling strings or a small jazz group, move through the room during drinks and dinner without needing a stage.
Brass and marching bands make a big entrance or lead guests to dinner, oompah bands suit Bavarian and aprรจs-ski themes, and brass carol groups suit Christmas. Most bands can mix live sets with a playlist or DJ between sets.

Many hotels and country houses have rules on ceiling rigging, fire, access times and changing space. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check everything before we confirm.
How much do live bands and roaming musicians cost in Windsor?
There is no fixed price. Every event is different. Prices depend on the acts, the number of performers, timings, travel and location, so we quote each booking individually.

Which postcodes around Windsor do you cover?
All of SL4, including Old Windsor, Eton, Eton Wick and Cranbourne, plus the rest of Berkshire and nearby Eton, Slough, Ascot and Maidenhead.
How long do bands play?
Most function bands play two or three sets through the evening. We agree the timings with you.

Usually not. Acoustic and brass groups can play anywhere in the venue.
Can the band play our first dance?
Often, yes, with enough notice. Send us the song and we will check.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.

Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.
