Booking & prices
How do I book The Live Notes?
Booking is simple, and we’ll guide you through it step by step. To confirm a date in our diary, we ask for a 20% deposit and send you a contract to sign stating the terms of the booking. The remaining balance is due one week before your event.
How much does a wedding band cost?
Our evening bands start from £1,795, and ceremony music from £400. Guide prices are for weddings of up to 150 guests within an hour of our Manchester base. See our prices and line-ups, or get the booking pack for every guide price.
Can we get an exact quote?
Yes. Every event is a little different, so the quickest way to an exact quote is a free 30-minute call. We’ll check we’re free on your date and talk you through the options. Book a free call.
When should we book?
Popular Saturdays book up early, with couples already securing dates in 2028, so we advise booking as far in advance as possible.
The music
Which line-up should we choose?
Up to about 100 guests, or a tighter budget: our LVN Quartet or Aura 5 fill a room brilliantly. For most weddings of 100 to 150 guests, the six-piece Headline is our most popular, and the live sax makes a huge difference. Want two lead singers and a real show? Go for the LVN 7 Showband. For a big venue or a big party, the LVN 10 Platinum adds brass, percussion and our own sound engineer.
Can I make requests?
Absolutely. Tell us what you do and don’t want to hear, and we’ll take your must-play requests and tweak the setlist for you.
Will you learn our first dance?
Yes. We’ll learn your first dance so it’s played live on the night.
What songs do you play?
Everything from Motown and soul classics to noughties anthems and today’s biggest hits. Browse our full song list and hear the band.
Can you play our ceremony and drinks reception?
Yes. Our ceremony pianist, L2 Acoustic Duo, LVN Sax Trio and The Live Roamers cover the ceremony and drinks reception, and we’ll plan them alongside your evening band so the whole day flows.
Is a DJ included?
Every band comes with our free DJ playlist service until midnight, playing your playlists through our PA between and after sets. For a live DJ set, add DJ Bassix, or DJ Bassix with a sax player out in the crowd.
On the day
How long do you need to set up?
We usually allow around an hour for set-up and soundcheck, depending on the details of your venue and timings.
Do you bring your own sound and lighting?
Yes. We bring professional sound and lighting to every event, set up and run by us. Our LVN 10 Platinum Showband also includes upgraded sound and lighting with an onsite sound engineer.
Are you insured?
Yes. We have full public liability insurance, and all our equipment is PAT tested.
How far do you travel?
We’re based in Manchester and travel regularly to weddings and events throughout the UK, and even overseas.
Corporate events & parties
Do you play corporate events and private parties?
Yes. We play award ceremonies, company parties, event openings, milestone birthdays and private celebrations. See our corporate and party entertainment.
Can you do themed nights or multiple acts?
Yes. We can theme nights around ’70s disco, ’80s soul, classic rock or festival-style pop and dance, and combine bands, DJs and acts for a festival-style night that keeps the entertainment fresh.
