Get in touch!:

From the start your enquiry will be dealt with by leading entertainment agency Tailored Entertainment. Tailored Entertainment specialise in exclusive representation of the best professional function bands in the UK and have a very select roster of top bands. So you can be reassured from the off that the band have met the high standards Tailored Entertainment demands of its acts and that you'll also have an expert team on hand to help with all of the planning and any questions you may have. The guys at Tailored Entertainment are available on 0800 564 2240 / info@neon-band.com and will be very happy to hear from you.

Book the band:

Once you have decided that Neon are the band for you, Tailored Entertainment will send a booking contract to you to confirm the booking. The contract features all the important details for the day and once you have signed, the band will sign a copy and confirm the booking in their diary. We ask for a deposit to secure the booking, with the balance payable by bank transfer seven days ahead of the day.

Planning:

In the lead up to the wedding you are very welcome to contact us any time to discuss the plan for the day. Around four weeks before the day the experienced team at Tailored Entertainment will contact you to go over the final details - timings, first dance, song requests for the disco or DJ, final payment details etc. All of the details will be recorded and sent to the band in one simple final confirmation email, so you can be sure nothing will get missed and everything discussed will happen as planned on the night.

On the night:

Neon will arrive fully self-contained with PA, lighting and pre-mixed disco (or a band member can DJ if you add this to your booking) and will perform 2 hours of live music (2 x 60 or 3 x 40 minute live sets). The band will cover your whole evening of entertainment so you don't need to hire a separate DJ or any additional equipment.

If your evening reception is in the same room as the meal/speeches, the band would usually arrive to set up in the turnaround time between day and evening. If the room or area for your evening is separate (or curtained off) the band could arrive while you are eating to get set up (they would sound check when suitable and wouldn't interrupt the meal or speeches!) - it takes a minimum of 90 minutes for the band to get fully set up and sound checked.

A guide to a standard evening reception would be:

  • 17:30 - Band Arrive
  • 19:00 - Background Music On
  • 20:00 - First Dance/First Set (60 mins)
  • 21:00 - Disco/DJ (ideal time for evening buffet)
  • 22:00 - Second Set (60 mins)
  • 23:00 - Disco/DJ Until Close

Timings are flexible to suit your needs and live sets can be split 3 x 40 mins if you prefer. Neon’s standard price is based on them arriving at 17:00 earliest and finishing as late as 00:00. For an early arrival or late finish outside of these times, there is an additional charge.

The band are very happy to perform your choice of first dance for you as long as they have at least three weeks’ notice of the song choice.

Neon also offer a brilliant live lounge-style acoustic set, this is the perfect addition to your drinks reception and can really help set the mood for a great celebration. As the musicians are already booked to perform in the evening, the price of this set represents excellent value when compared to hiring a separate band for your daytime entertainment - it can be as much as 50% cheaper than hiring an equivalent act.

To discuss hiring Neon to perform at your wedding please call Tailored Entertainment for a friendly chat on 0800 564 2240, or email info@neon-band.com.

Neon are one of Tailored Entertainment's roster of the best live bands for hire in Hampshire and surrounding areas, including The New Forest, Somerset, Devon, Southampton, Salisbury, Bristol, Bournemouth, Exeter, Gloucestershire, Cardiff and beyond to other regions such as the South East including Portsmouth, Petersfield, Winchester, Guildford, London, Brigthon as well as Northamptonshire, Berkshire and Oxford.

Wedding, Hampton Court Castle, Hereford
Thank you sooo much you guys for getting the party well and truly kicked up a gear. Everyone was talking about your set this morning at breakfast! We loved your arrangement for our first dance - it was exactly what we wanted. And the acoustic set in the afternoon while everyone was mingling and chatting was perfect for creating a chilled vibe after the ceremony. We *loved* having you along. Thank you for helping to make our day super, super special. xx
Josie & Maksim, The Coach House, Coggeshall, Essex
Thanks to you and the team for all the coordination, and to Neon for being amazing. We booked Neon for our October wedding through Tailored Entertainment. I loved having the ability to browse a variety of bands on the site and it really helped me nail down what I wanted for the big day - a female singer with big backing drums, proper guitars and an all round proper set up to get the party started. And oh my god did we hit the jackpot with Neon - their music catalogue - Daft Punk and Basement Jaxx - took my eye and the gang did not disappoint on the night, throwing in some huuuugeeeee bangers, including a breakdown of the Jurassic Park theme tune (I think my now-husband lost his mind when they did this). Although the guys needed a bit more time than anticipated to set up (thanks to overrunning speeches..!), they were well worth the wait and kicked off the evening with a bang, and even continued all the way through without a break to make up for lost set up time (thank you!!). The dance floor was full all night and our guests are still raving about how incredible the guys were even one month on (to quote my maid of honour; "I'm officially obsessed!"). Thank you to Neon for an absolutely cracking evening, and to the Tailored Entertainment team for making the booking process so smooth!

We told people we were having a band perform at our wedding reception but I don't think anyone was expecting NEON. They blew everyone away and had everyone dancing, even the relatives who never dance. The band are super friendly and clearly enjoy every second of performing. We asked them to learn our first dance and oh my it sounded just like the original but almost better. If anyone is thinking of hiring a band for an event NEON is a must. We want to have another party just so we can see them perform again.
