FixTheMusic has chosen only Europe's very best acoustic roaming bands who are available for weddings and events in Italy.
Each roaming band has been hand-picked by our team based on their musicality, professionalism and their ability to get your guests dancing.
Most of the acoustic bands consist of a singer or two, acoustic guitar, cajon or other percussion and double bass. Occasionally the bands might also add a saxophone to the line-up.
The bands are particularly in-demand to roam or wander amongst guests, usually on the dancefloor or often at drinks receptions at weddings or corporate events. They usually engage with people as they roam, encouraging guests to sing along with them or dance at the same time.
FixTheMusic is free to use – we're a secure platform for connecting with and booking outstanding musicians worldwide 🌎

Here are the profiles of some of the most popular roaming bands for weddings and parties in Italy...
Our roaming bands are available to travel across Italy for weddings, corporate events and other parties. They have performed at luxury weddings on private Tuscan islands, throughout Puglia and southern Italy, as well as in northern Italy – in Bologna, Rome and Piemonte.
The bands are often recommended by wedding planners and exclusive venues in Italy, and as they are in such high demand have bookings for weddings up to two years in advance.
The Old School 90s Band were simply brilliant...
The Old School 90s Band were simply brilliant. They recently played at our wedding and were the best band a couple could ask for. From the moment they were booked, Thom was pleasant, courteous and above all fun. On the day they set up quickly and seamlessly with no fuss at all. Then the set, it was incredible. The dance floor was full throughout and everybody complimented that this was the best band they’d heard at a wedding. Thank you so much to Thom, Alice, Nana, Connor, Kaveh and Dan...you were amazing. Love, Max & Lulu.
Wow, where do I start? Luna Showband and Night Magic took our breath away...
Wow, where do I start? Luna Showband and Night Magic took our breath away. The most compliments I ever had on the wedding were the band and the singers. People just stared, as they couldn’t believe it. My mother-in-law who is from Canada said, we just don’t get talent like this in Canada! She was so happy. It was just phenomenal. The kids from Arizona who are spoilt and have seen every kind of wedding said it was the best music they have ever seen. It was truly out of this world!! I can’t believe you mastered the bee gees voice and did Night Fever, it was amazing!! When you called us to the stage to stand up there with you, we felt like legends and part of the band!! I will never forget it!! So epic!! Every time I remember those times on the dance floor, we beam with happiness!
We cannot thank you enough for a spectacular night
Iddy thank you all SO much! You guys are truly incredible, and not only are you the best band, but also the nicest people! We cannot thank you enough for a spectacular night. All of our guests were blown away!! Lots of love, Michelle & Medi xxx
Honestly incredible...
Honestly incredible. MOJO were fantastic from start to finish and the lead singer did an amazing job at getting everyone involved. We had so many compliments from guests on how good the band were. Was one of the best elements of our wedding!
So how does it work?
Amplified roaming bands
In NOMAD’s case, the lead singer uses a wireless mic of course. Backing vocals are provided by the other band members via headsets. Instruments-wise, guitar and bass are plugged into wireless battery packs and the drums are provided by a very nifty wheeled cajon.
The quality of amplified sound is impressive with deep bass and crisp highs – make no mistake, this is not sit-down entertainment, they will get you on your feet.
The band call their show a unique form of ‘dining entertainment’ and certainly they interact with the audience in a way that wasn’t technologically possible 10 years ago.
Acoustic roaming bands
There are also the world's best acoustic roaming bands or wandering bands featured on FixTheMusic – this option is very popular for smaller weddings or where your wedding venue has a strict sound limiter. A roaming wedding band will often perform a wide mix of pop covers – from the 60s to today's current hits, often with a slightly folk edge to the repertoire.
If you fancy transforming your birthday party, wedding reception or corporate event to a modern mediaeval banquet, then make an enquiry on FixTheMusic where we’ll be promoting a variety of wandering groups over the next few months.
The bands are also known as "wandering bands" – as they tend to wander in between and mingle with guests whilst playing their music and singing.
Most of the acoustic bands consist of a singer or two (usually male vocals, but often female too), acoustic guitar, cajon or other percussion and double bass. Occasionally the bands might also add a saxophone to the line-up.
Roaming brass bands
Another popular option is to book a roaming brass band – these modern brass groups are inspired by the roving New Orleans-style band but updated with a modern and often unusual twist. The bands usually feature trumpets, trombones and sousaphones, and occasionally a singer or even rapper to perform alongside them. These acoustic brass groups tend to be much louder than the acoustic guitar-based wandering bands, so are perfect for large public events (such as charity parades or marches).
Busking-style bands
Lastly, the bands are often described as a busking-style band. Indeed, part of the tradition of the roaming acoustic band does stem from busking musicians – traditionally, musicians performing live on the street would be acoustic of course as they would have no access to power or amplification.
Every roaming band for hire on FixTheMusic have public liability insurance and PAT tested equipment.
Roaming bands are a brilliant choice, especially for afternoon entertainment at your wedding. They epitomise summer and are perfect for wandering through your guests at drinks receptions.
Below are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) about hiring a roaming band, which we hope will act as a definitive guide for booking a wandering band for weddings and events.
"We were so lucky to have Starboard for our wedding at The Gherkin last weekend. They were more than amazing and made our day so special! They have an amazing ability to get everyone up dancing and create such a special atmosphere! We can’t wait to see them again and would highly recommend them for any event!"
"WOW! Absolutely amazing! Made our day so special! Each guy is so talented and the music was perfect. Many of our guests asked for their details for future events.

"They are an amazing acoustic band who performed at our wedding during our drinks reception in August. These guys created a great atmosphere and all of our guests commented on how talented and engaging they were. From the initial communications all the way through to the big day, they were excellent and I couldn't recommend them highly enough. Thanks again, Daniel and Jonathan."
"Where do I start, you guys were AMAZING!! Not only did Ben and I love every second, the amount of comments we got from our guests on how good you were was insane. Everyone was commenting on how different it was, how good it was that your roamed around and how great the mash ups were. We’ve even had a few ask for your details for upcoming weddings and birthdays so fingers crossed they’ll be a few bookings coming your way. Thank you also for learning our first dance song, we LOVED it! And for doing the extra set, everyone was loving the entertainment so much we just didn’t want it to end."
"Hello! I realised we never said THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You lot absolutely 100% nailed it!

Everyone had the best time dancing to your sound, we could not have wished for more xxx Videos have started to come through, and we’ll be sure to send them over! There aren’t words for how grateful we are, just thank you thank you thank you!!!"
"Just wanted to say a huge thank you. We thought you were fantastic! Thank you for singing LOVE with everybody. Everybody enjoyed you guys so much and I hardly left the dance floor. Thank you for including the songs that we love. Really really appreciate it. Hope you had a wonderful time with us and for the rest of the weddings you have this summer. Many thanks from the bottom of our hearts. We were delighted to have you playing at our wedding. Please let the rest of the band know how much we loved you guys!"
"The Roaming Beats were just amazing on our wedding day, and I could not recommend them highly enough. Right from the start, Dom and the guys had people singing and dancing and we've had so many positive comments from our guests since the wedding. They're also really nice guys and were very helpful in the build up to the wedding."
