Wedding Rock Bands for hire in Colchester
Latest reviews of our Wedding Rock Bands in Colchester
"We are so glad that we chose Stone Meadow to perform at our wedding - they absolutely SMASHED IT! From the very start of the enquiry/booking process, Joe from the band was super responsive and patient in answering all of our questions. We were able to put forward our own playlists for the DJ sets and request songs for the band to perform live which they were more than happy to accommodate! We also explained that we were a little shy about our first dance and wanted our guests to come join us on the dance floor so they did a perfect mash up of our first dance song with a crowd pleasing tune that got everyone dancing with us. Their repertoire of songs is amazing and they also did incredible covers of Still Into You, This is How You Remind Me, and Mr Brightside which our guests absolutely loved! Things got heavier and our guests got a mosh pit going and were jumping along to Stone Meadow’s cover of Break Stuff and Killing in the Name of! So many of our guests have said how unforgettable the evening was and they really did light up the dance floor. Not only are they incredible musicians but they’re also super professional with great communication, and honestly 4 of the nicest guys who were a pleasure to work with in the run up to the day and to have there on the day of. They left us a great message in our guest book and even gave us a t-shirt as a wedding gift 🤩 Legends the lot of them!!! Honestly couldn’t recommend them more - we’re trying to find another reason to have a party that big just to have them perform again! Lots of love, David & Holly x"

"Stone Meadow are incredible!!!! We got married in Hereford on 20/12/25 and Stone Meadow were our evening band, and we couldn’t be happier! From the moment we booked, Joe was excellent with communication and nothing was too much trouble (even requesting a pitbull song- haha!) On the night, the band were incredible, such amazing talents and our friends and family were on the dance floor all night (some even converted to rock music!!) Stone Meadow created a fun and lively atmosphere that has given us unforgettable memories- thank you guys :)"
Eve hired Stone Meadow for a Wedding (available in Colchester)
"The whole process from booking to performance ran very smoothly. Good communication via the website and the band were great at just cracking on with the music. Much appreciated as I was distracted with guests and caterers. Everyone complimented the band afterwards and I would highly recommend them for future gigs. Thank you to The Riot Dogs - you made my night 😊"

FAQs about hiring Wedding Rock bands in Colchester
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
Can any rock band play my favourite song?
Professional rock bands will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that rock bands may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the rock band's song list on their Encore profile.
How much time do rock bands take to set up?
Your rock band will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the rock band prior to their arrival.
My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?
PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our rock bands are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our rock bands will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
