I am really keen to have some live music during my wedding ceremony - are you able to perform during the ceremony?

Absolutely! We regularly perform during wedding ceremonies and drinks receptions. We like to arrive and set up in time for when your guests start to arrive, we can then welcome them with some live music and then perform as required during your ceremony. We can re-set and perform during your drinks reception if required. The band can also perform during wedding breakfasts.

Do you take requests?

We are happy to perform one special request for you - for weddings this is usually a song during the ceremony. You can also let us know your top 10 preferences from the repertoire - so you can be sure to hear all your favourites on the day.

How long do you take to set-up?

20 minutes.

What time do you play?

At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 2 hours of live music, to be performed as required over a 4 hour period.

Do you have your own equipment?

We don’t use a PA or lighting as we roam about mingling with guests and perform completely unamplified.

What is the website guide price based on?

The published guide price is based on our duo line-up performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Manchester. We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 hours 30 mins drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.

Our venue has a noise limiter, can you work with that?

Yes, our sound works fine with noise limiters.

Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?

Yes.

How much space do you require?

We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2m x 3m.

Do I need to provide food/drinks?

The act's standard rider is soft drinks unless they’re on site for longer than the standard 4 hours.

Can we see you play live before booking?

As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight into our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band.

“The Roaming Tones were a fantastic addition to our wedding. A lot of guests had never seen a band moving around and getting involved with guests like that - everyone kept asking me where I had found them!”
