Additional Upgrade Options
We love doing something a little different, and wherever possible we will do whatever we can to accommodate special requests without additional costs to you. However, we do also offer some excellent add-on options. Please see booking options for more details.

• The acoustic tent - No festival would be complete without the acoustic tent, and every wedding needs a little chill-out time in the early afternoon. Dirty Weekend will arrive early at your event and provide a 45-minute set of dreamy acoustic pop classics, chilled Live Lounge-esque re-imaginings and summer time vibes. 4pm arrival as standard.

• An additional festival set - Marriage may be about compromise, but on your wedding day you need to get your own way! If you just can’t decide between all the great festival sets, you can add an additional 40-minute performance. No early arrival time will be necessary here, timings can simply be arranged on your 3-week call.

• The Big Tamale - Maybe you're the kind of couple who can’t get enough live music. Maybe you need it all! Dirty Weekend will arrive early to perform an acoustic set, and then follow it up with FIVE 40-minute live sets! This option includes a 1am finish, which will normally be required just to fit in all that live music!

• Boys Of Summer Roaming Band - Fun, feel-good roaming performances with a full and upbeat sound! Dirty Weekend’s roaming band perform hits from The Beatles to Queen, Ed Sheeran to Busted and lots more. Creating crowd sing-alongs, amazing photo opportunities and a strong united atmosphere, this band are a real must for any drinks reception! For more info, please visit the roaming band's profile here.

Book this band!! Better than we could’ve ever imagined

5 stars - Dirty Weekend are Highly Recommended
booked Dirty Weekend for their wedding in Norfolk October 2025

“We booked Dirty Weekend for our wedding ceremony and they were INCREDIBLE!! Having watched videos of their previous performances, we were excited to see they had our date available and we quickly got them booked up. They performed an acoustic set during our drinks reception (which needed to be altered slightly last minute due to weather) followed by 3 x sets across our evening celebrations and I honestly couldn’t have imagined a better band. The communication from the band before the wedding made planning everything super easy - they’re friendly yet professional, flexible to our requests (including some last minute andditions) and we felt like we were in safe hands. The day arrived and I can honestly say we (and our guests) were blown away by them. They made the whole day so much fun and we’ve had so many comments from our guests on how incredible they were. I don’t think there was a moment that the dance floor wasn’t crammed. And the variety of genres and music they cove...”


They're amazing!!

5 stars - Dirty Weekend are Highly Recommended
booked Dirty Weekend for their wedding in Hertfordshire September 2025

“Dirty weekend are simply amazing! They really kept the party going into the night with some absolute bangers! Would 100% recommend them for a great gig!”


Amazing vibes for our wedding

5 stars - Dirty Weekend are Highly Recommended
booked Dirty Weekend for their wedding in Gloucestershire September 2025

“These guys brought loads of energy and a great performance that really helped make our wedding special. Our first dance was “You Make Loving Fun” by Fleetwood Mac and their version was perfect. They put in the effort to understand our tastes and catered everything to work for us. Band and DJ both had the dance floor filled all night, would highly recommend for anyone who wants a boogie on their wedding day!”


The perfect vibe to end the perfect day!

5 stars - Dirty Weekend are Highly Recommended
booked Dirty Weekend for their wedding in Dorset September 2025

“We knew the band would be fantastic after seeing the setlist - and they did not disappoint! We were able to choose so many of our favourite songs and had everyone on the dancefloor the whole night. It was fantastic to have the band performing our first dance song which they learnt, and definitely worth upgrading to the DJ package for in between sets as we could also request some additional songs in between the live music and even got our group line dancing! Honestly couldn't recommend them enough, such a fun evening! They were also really organised in advance with a shared spreadsheet which made it super easy.”


Phenomenal band!

5 stars - Dirty Weekend are Highly Recommended
booked Dirty Weekend for their wedding in Surrey September 2025

“I cannot give enough thanks to Dirty Weekend Band - they absolutely made our wedding! They are not only extremely talented but also just a really lovely group of guys. Everyone said how brilliant they were and it was evident from the number of people on the dance floor all night! They also beautifully learnt and played all our ceremony music, which was the very special to us. Thank you so, so much - honestly amazing!!”
