    Last Minute Wedding Band

    A short-notice booking doesn't have to mean second best.

    Watch us in action

    Band cancelled? Breathe.

    It happens more than anyone admits. A band cancels, a double booking surfaces, or the entertainment plan falls apart a few weeks before the day. Booking a replacement doesn't have to mean settling for one.

    You book Kinmara directly, so the quote calculator gives you a real price in about a minute, we confirm availability the same day, and the people you're emailing are the people who'll be on stage.

    Late availability this season

    We currently have dates open through October and November 2026. To check a specific one, run it through the quote calculator below or drop us an email. We'll confirm the same day.

    Most short notice bookings take us across Surrey, Kent and London, though we travel further afield when the date works.

    From panic to booked

    Booking direct keeps it simple. Here's how it runs.

    1. Minute one

      You have a price

      The quote calculator asks for your date, your venue and any add-ons, then gives you a real, bookable number in about a minute.

    2. Same day

      You know if we're free

      Send the booking request and we check the calendar ourselves. You hear back the same day, from the band rather than an agency.

    3. Then

      You deal with the band

      The paperwork goes straight between you and the people who'll be playing, so there's nobody in the middle to wait on.

    4. The day itself

      Nobody can tell

      Four weeks' notice gets the same show as fourteen months' notice. Only the admin was ever compressed.

    Nobody at the party will know you booked us last month.

    What you're booking

    Kinmara is a folk and indie pop band fronted by a singing fiddle player. The first set is fiddle-led folk, and then we switch to an indie pop party set for the rest of the night. We've performed at over one hundred weddings and events, so a short-notice booking gets the same show as one planned a year out. You can read more about the fiddle-led sound on our folk wedding band page. If it's a company do you're rescuing, see our corporate party band page.
