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!

5 stars - Dirty Weekend are Highly Recommended
booked Dirty Weekend for their Wedding in Essex October 2024

“We had the pleasure of having the Dirty Weekend play at our wedding in Ongar, Essex. We were looking for a band that suited our style – but also could cater for our range of guests. They offered different sets and they were flexible with the repertoire so we could really personalise it to us. They learnt our first dance song – Somewhere only we know - and played it very well!! They also provided the lights and premium DJ service so there was never a dull moment in the night, and they were able to keep the dancefloor filled. Communication was amazing from the start and we were able to contact the band within 4 weeks of the wedding. We spoke with Jason and we were able to confirm all of the small details – he really put our mind at ease and we felt totally safe in his hands. Our evening party was one to remember and that was all thanks to Jason and the team – we (and our guests) really didn’t want it to end… “one more song!” We can’t recommend this band enough – and would consider ...”


Wish I Could Book Them Every Weekend!

booked Dirty Weekend for their Wedding in Berkshire September 2024

“Dirty Weekend were incredible! They were able to put a fantastic spin on our first dance, which made it more special than we thought it would be. Their energy and showmanship kept people on the dance floor all night and they played some absolute bangers too, even taking some last minute requests on the night! Communication in the lead up to the big day was fantastic, they arrived on time and quietly and quickly set themselves up before introducing the cake cutting, first dance and then straight into the sets! Only wish I had an event each weekend to keep booking these guys, BRAVO!”


Just incredible - thank you Dirty Weekend!

booked Dirty Weekend for their Wedding in Suffolk September 2024

“Dirty Weekend were an amazing addition to our wedding and delivered an absolutely brilliant performance over 3 slots, which got everyone up and dancing (young, old, and young at heart). They did a brilliant rendition of our requested first dance and also performed a very personal final song to celebrate the life of one of our best friends. From start to finish, the band were personable and easy to work with, taking time to ensure all our schedule and requirements were taken into account well ahead of the wedding. So many of our friends have enquired about them and would like to book them for business and family events. I'm so glad we selected them, 4 excellent blokes with real talent and passion.”


Fantastic band!

booked Dirty Weekend for their Wedding in Kent August 2024

“We couldn't have been happier with Dirty Weekend. Our guests loved them, and they were a pleasure to deal with before the event and on the day. They were very helpful with assisting with an out of the ordinary request during our first dance. They had to cut their set at short notice, and happily did, ensuring that our favourites were played. We have no hesitation in recommending them.”


Couldn't have imagined a better band!

booked Dirty Weekend for their Wedding in Cornwall August 2024

“Dirty Weekend were the perfect band for our wedding. They had a really great and stress-free system to figure out exactly what we wanted leading up to the event and were flexible to help us get the exact vibe we wanted. They arrived early after making a 6hr drive and setup impressively quietly without interrupting the activities. Most importantly, they killed the sets and sounded incredible! Guests of all ages were commenting on how great they were and where we found them! Thanks again guys!”
