Under the Covers isn’t just a wedding band. We’re not just the great music we play or the incredible show we put on. With thousands of weddings and events under our belt, we're the expert friend in your corner to ensure you get everything you want from your day.
From the moment you get in touch, we work with you to create a day which refelects you, ending with the greatest night of music you could imgaine... just for YOU! That means helping you choose the perfect first dance, crafting a setlist that matches your crowd, and bringing the right energy, at just the right moments — whether that’s a sunset drinks reception or a packed midnight dancefloor.
We’re based in Manchester and regularly play at venues all over the North West and beyond. We know what works, how to read a room, and how to make sure everything runs smoothly on the day — no stress, no drama, just good vibes and great music.
Our most popular line-up is a 7-piece band with male and female vocals, saxophone, guitar, keys, bass, and drums. But we offer everything from a tight 5-piece to a full 9-piece band, depending on your style, space, and budget. We bring all our own professional sound, lighting and tech crew, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
Music-wise, we’ve got over 200 songs to choose from — spanning Motown, soul, pop, indie, rock, disco, and modern hits. We’re all about crowd-pleasers and singalong favourites, but if there’s a track you love that’s not on the list? No problem — we’ll learn it and perform it live.
Every wedding package includes:
✔️ 5–9 piece band
✔️ Your first dance performed live
✔️ DJ service with unlimited requests
✔️ A dedicated sound engineer on site
✔️ 90–120 minutes of incredible live music
We know what it takes to make a wedding feel amazing. This isn’t just a gig for us. It’s your day. And we’re here to make it unforgettable.

Hi - I'm Joey! I run Under the Covers.
I have been singing with Under the Covers since 2013 and have been fortunate enough to play with them all over the country and abroad.
I love music and I love weddings. Seeing the joy on a couple's face when we strike up the first dance or opening number is such a delight. Being an integral part of a couple's day is never lost on me and I will always do my best both in the lead-up and on the day to make sure it's the best day it can be!
I'm Joel, I have worked as engineer for Under the Covers since 2017. My background was in music, before I moved to the more techinical side - the man behind, the man behind the mic I suppose. I have had the pleasure of engineering at hundereds of weddings and key responsibility in my eyes, is that the couple feel really safe and really confident in what we are doing. Planning a wedding is a huge task, so helping them relax, safe in the knowledge it's going to be great is really important to me.
