Dorset’s Afterparty Wedding Band

Our services are only available in Dorset, East Devon & Somerset.

Due to our vast experience in the wedding and events industry, we know what works and what doesn't. Therefore, choosing the setlist isn't an option we offer.

We don’t provide a separate DJ. Instead, we include a playlist service as part of your booking, running through our PA system before, in between, and after our live sets. You can send us a playlist in advance, and guests are welcome to make requests on the night.

We require a performance area of approximately 5m x 3m (16ft x 10ft) and a flat, hard surface to ensure the safety and stability of our equipment.

We are committed to complying with the sound regulations of each venue to ensure a satisfactory experience for both the venue staff and the audience. Our typical sound level is around 97 decibels, which is standard for a live band. Any sound issues, such as the use of a limiter, will be discussed and clarified with the venue in advance.

While not required, it would be appreciated if you could provide some food and non-alcoholic drinks for the band members during the event.

Second Summer will require 3–4 parking spaces as close to the venue as possible.

Typically, our standard arrival time is 6 pm, which often means that speeches have finished by the time we're on site. However, if you need to use our PA system, we can arrange this for a small additional fee. Please let us know in advance so we can make the necessary arrangements.

Yes, we come fully equipped with a PA system, instruments, microphones and lighting. We only require a minimum of two 13-amp plug sockets (UK standard) as close to the performance area as possible. These sockets should be dedicated and not shared with other suppliers.

Absolutely, we have Public Liability Insurance (PLI) and all of our equipment is PAT tested to ensure it meets safety standards. Most venues will require suppliers to have this in place.

To secure your date, especially for dates during peak wedding season, we recommend booking as soon as possible, ideally 12-18 months in advance.

Our pricing varies depending on several factors, but generally ranges from £899 to £1299. A non-refundable management fee is required to confirm your booking, with the balance due 28 days prior to the event.

Yes, we can provide some additional services, including an acoustic performance in the afternoon, adding a sax player to your band booking, and the ability to extend the live set to 2.5 hours.

In the unlikely event of illness or unforeseen circumstances, we use a pool of skilled musicians who are used to playing together and can step in to ensure the performance runs smoothly.
