Chapter Hall Northern Monk Refectory Wedding Music Band

If you’re after a unique, industrial-style venue with amazing atmosphere, Chapter Hall, Northern Monk Refectory in Leeds is hard to beat. We were lucky enough to perform there for Bethany and Antony’s wedding, and it was nothing short of electric from start to finish.

For this one, we brought our 4-piece live wedding band: drums, bass, guitar, and vocals. Tight grooves, big choruses, and nonstop energy were the order of the night—and this crowd came ready to party.

Bethany and Antony had some brilliant song requests that gave the evening a personal touch. ‘Not Nineteen Forever’ by The Courteeners and ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ by One Direction both made the setlist—and both went off in style! Singing, jumping, and dancefloor chaos (the good kind) all night long.

Between band sets, we kept the momentum going with our wedding DJ service, making sure there were no lulls and that every tune hit just right.

Northern Monk is such a cool space for a wedding—quirky, bold, and right in the heart of Leeds. Massive thanks to the venue team for being a dream to work with, and of course to Bethany and Antony for having us along for such an unforgettable night.

If you’re planning a wedding in Leeds and want a live wedding band with optional DJ service, we’d love to bring the same energy to your celebration.

If you’re searching for a wedding band in York that brings style, energy, and unforgettable live music—this one’s for you.

We had the absolute pleasure of performing at Savannah and Matthew’s wedding at the breath taking Sandburn Hall, just outside York. This beautiful venue is the perfect blend of rustic charm and elegance, and it was the ideal setting for a day full of love, laughter, and non-stop dancing.

Our 5-piece live wedding band featured drums, bass, guitar, vocals and saxophone—bringing a full, rich sound that kept guests on their feet all night long. The vibe? Upbeat, feel-good and full of floor-fillers.

The couple’s first dance was the iconic ‘Forever’ by Chris Brown—a track that starts slow and soulful, then surprises everyone with a joyful, dance-ready drop. As soon as the beat kicked in, the dancefloor filled and the energy didn’t dip for a second.

When we weren’t playing live, our playlist DJ service kept the music flowing—so there was never a quiet moment. Guests danced, sang, and celebrated from the first song to the last.

The real magic came from the crowd—Savannah and Matthew’s guests were up for a party, and the combination of live saxophone, powerful vocals, and tight grooves brought the perfect party atmosphere.
