    bands are quite expensive esp for weddings. my dad is in a few bands and i know the price goes up for a private function but it depends on what sort of band you want and how many members of the band to how much they charge xx

    we were quoted £1250 for a band ( and that was us getting a friends discount) whereas a for a DJ we were quoted £300. We are going with the Dj simply because we dont have an extra £1000 to spend on entertainment.

    Oooh thanks everyone!! I thought it was just me that was choosing expensive bands but it seems that they can range anything from 500 upto 1500.... might be giving that one a miss then unless i manage to get a deal.

    Havent started to get quotes for DJ's but assumed they'd be about 300 plus so glad im in the right region..

    Il let u all know how i get on! eeek! wish me luck xxx

    There's a site called Easy Wedding Search and you can put your county into the search - a few bands have come up for Staffordshire.

    Hiya Goldylox,

    Not sure if i'm really supposed to promote myself, but I am based in Tamworth, Staffordshire ;-)

    If you want to get in touch with me, you can contact me via the suppliers section, just look for ***********.

    Also, if you want me to supply you with contact details for other DJ's in Staffordshire, just add a note to the bottom of the email.


    Regards,

    Scott.

    Hi Goldylox,

    No it's not too far for me. I generally cover up to 50 miles from Tamworth, although last week I did a 360 mile round-trip to Surrey!!

    If you would like to get in touch to receive a quote etc, please feel free to send me an email or give me a call :)

    Many thanks.


    Regards,

    Scott.
