The evening wedding entertainment can really make or break your day and that of your guests too. Nobody will remember what design your wedding cake was or what shoes the bride wore 5 years from now but EVERYONE will remember a fantastic party where they danced all night to an amazing band!

The Simply Swing Wedding Band has thought carefully about how to accommodate more wedding couples during these times of cut backs and recession and we’ve come up with some recession busting entertainment options!

Our main party band is our 6-Piece but, if you have up to around 150 guests, you could quite easily get away with our 5-Piece band. If you have a smaller party with up to 60 guests you could even book our Quartet. For smaller budgets, we have our Solo Wedding Singer option with backing tracks, which is a fantastic option when followed by our disco service. We run our entertainment over a 3-4 hour slot and will provide background music before and after the live music ends, thus filling those awkward silent gaps.

Our disco service can be added to any of our band options and, if your wedding is not peak season, you may be able to take advantage of one of our fantastic special wedding offers so keep watching the website!

For more wedding entertainment ideas or help with planning your wedding music, please call Simply Swing on 0845 094 8693.

PLEASE DON’T DO IT!  It’s a clumsy and wholly inappropriate tool for the job at hand. You have a gap between tracks which, coupled with a 10 second fade out on lots of contemporary songs, can leave your guests standing around the dance-floor like lemons.

If you’re thinking of going the DIY route, use iTunes or some other kind of DJ software on a laptop. This provides a far easier means of searching a database of songs and allows for changing playlists on the go.

You’ll then have to rent a top-quality sound system. The home stereo that sounds deafening in your lounge just won’t cut it in a large hall.  Then there’s the venue in-house sound system that you might think is a good idea. It is not! Ceiling speakers are for elevator music.

Believe us, your wedding day is no time for fumbling with wires, speakers and iPods – you’re supposed to be enjoying yourselves!

We believe that iPods are great for background music between a band’s live sets or while you’re guests are eating.  For that, they are invaluable.

Simply Swing’s Band and Disco Service

For our disco it’s a professional DJ program everytime.  It’s run from a laptop computer and plays through our state-of-the-art Bose L1 sound system.

Brought to you at a fraction of the cost of an outside DJ – this is the way to DJ your “Wedding on a shoe-string”.

Wedding Band and Disco

Kent and one in West Sussex.  It was good to be back at The Blazing Donkey in Sandwich, Kent for a summer ball followed by two great weddings.
