FAQs

How Do I Choose From The Best Party Bands?

Think about the age group of your guests. For example, if you are celebrating a 21st party and the majority of the guests are going to be from this age range then you will be looking towards hiring a band that performs mainly current chart hits. However, if you are celebrating something like a 20th anniversary where there will be family members and friends covering the last few generations then the kind of music you will need a group to play will be 60s to present day. A little bit of something for everyone.

Obviously, if you hire a party band through Warble Entertainment Agency we will have checked the act to make sure they are the best quality. But, as a general guide, check to see what the band's marketing quality is like. Do they have great-sounding recordings? Have they got a video? What are their photographs like – have they been done professionally? A sign of a good act is that they have invested in themselves. If they have done that then it shows they are taking what they do seriously and so you can also afford to take them seriously as well.

Be sure to check that the party band has amazing previous customer feedback. This will be a great indicator of what you can expect. Also, it should tell you the kind of events they regularly perform at. For example, are they mainly playing at weddings? Or, do they perform more at pubs? Think about the style of band that would work best at your own event with regards to the atmosphere you want to create and the kind of guests that will be there. Whatever your questions about live band hire, we have the experience and expertise to answer them and help deliver exceptional entertainment for your event.

Find out if the band is fully self-contained – do they provide all their own equipment? The last thing you will need to worry about is sourcing a PA or lighting. All live party bands should bring everything they need to perform from microphones to amplifiers. So, you can rest assured that you’ll have nothing to do except pick the perfect musicians. It is also worth checking that the band have all the relevant insurance as nearly all venues will require to see copies of this. This will include PAT-testing certificates for electrical equipment and Public Liability Insurance. Again, all Warble Entertainment Agency party bands will have this in place.

Finally, a great way to save a little bit of money when booking a band for a party… check to see if they are happy to provide pre-recorded music before, between and after their live performances. Some bands will offer full DJ sets and options where music is mixed, requests can be taken and extra dance floor lighting is provided. But, either way, if the band provides a DJ service, it can save on the additional cost of having to hire a DJ.

What Is The Difference Between a Party Band and a Wedding Band?

Essentially party bands and wedding bands will perform at the same venues in the UK wide. A lot of wedding bands will also play corporate events and parties too so they are somewhat interchangeable barring a few differences. This means you can hire a wedding band or function band for your party and they will still be able to put on an incredible show.

Both types of function bands are typically composed of professional musicians who are experienced in performing at various types of events, including parties, corporate events, and weddings.

While there may be some slight differences in terms of their focus and approach to the performance, most live bands will also be able to provide a lively and energetic party atmosphere that is suitable for any type of celebration. This is because they are versatile and can adapt to the specific needs and preferences of their clients.

While there may be some small differences between party bands and wedding bands, they are essentially the same thing and can be used interchangeably for most events. As professional musicians, they have the ability to tailor their performance to suit the specific needs and preferences of their clients, whether it's for a wedding, party, or corporate event.

How Long Does a Party Band Perform For?

The best party bands are all about bringing the energy and excitement to your event, and we know that you want your guests to dance and have a great time all night long!

Typically, a party band will perform around 2 hours of live music, split into 2 x 60 minute sets or 3 x 40 minute sets. This allows for a break in between sets, giving your guests a chance to catch their breath and grab a drink before the party starts back up again!

However, we understand that every event is unique, and we can work with you to customize the length of the performance to suit your requirements. If you want your live party band to play for longer or shorter than our standard set times, just let us know and we'll do our best to accommodate your needs.

You will quickly find party bands are professionals who are passionate about delivering an unforgettable performance that will keep your guests dancing on their feet with incredible talent and having a great time. We work closely with our bands to ensure that they understand your event requirements and can deliver a performance that is tailored to your specific needs.

What is the Cost of Hiring a Professional Party Band?

The average cost of a party band may vary greatly and could fall anywhere between £500 and £5,000 plus depending on a number of factors.

Some of these include; how experienced the band is and the kind of reputation they have built since starting, how many members there are in the band, the quality of their sound and lighting equipment, whether they are specialists in a certain genre, or, if they have additional sound and crew members as part of their team.

When choosing a party band it is worth taking these aspects into account in order to get the best quality group for your available budget.
