Latest reviews of our Wedding Rock Bands in Dorset

Stone Meadow
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"Where do we even start? These guys delivered everything we hoped for and more. They set the perfect tone for the day and tailored the music brilliantly to the crowd. Joe’s communication from booking right through to the big day was spot‑on, and on the day they just arrived, plugged in, and absolutely smashed the playlist. The energy was exactly what we wanted, the dance floor didn’t stop bouncing. Thanks again! 🤘"

"Honestly, we couldn’t have picked a better band for our wedding. Since day one, they were always happy to help with requests and information up until the big day. Then they put in a massive performance for our wedding, completely catching the balance of well known bangers the wider audience would know and finishing up the heavier stuff we were so totally in to. 5 stars on every front and urge anyone who wants a rock part wedding reception to book Stone Meadow now! 🤘🏻"

"Stone Meadow were everything we could have hoped for from a wedding band and then some. Their energy filled the room and they sounded awesome. Our guests were dancing all night long thanks to these guys. Joe was incredibly responsive and professional, and we really appreciated them accommodating a couple of extra requests. Thanks again lads 🤘🏻"

FAQs about hiring Wedding Rock bands in Dorset

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.
