5/5 from 18 reviews
Photo of The Baby Boomer Party Band The Baby Boomer Party Band "Your uncanny skill at being able to gauge the audience, delve into your eclectic repertoire of music and then execute in such a professional manner is extraordinary. The passion in which you continually perform without a break indicates two people engrossed and enjoying what is obviously their passion.The compliments from the almost 100 people present has been constant and congratulatory to the extreme. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone conducting any function in the future Regards Peter Promnitz Stradbroke Social Club October 2016" Based in Brisbane, Queensland 5th November 2026 Peter Promnitz - Stradbroke Social Club October 2016 Photo of Trace Trace "I highly recommend TRACE band. They played an amazing mix of music both for dinner and dancing and our celebrant association members were absolutely delighted with them as we danced the night away." Based in Brisbane, Queensland Elizabeth Stewart - Gala Dinner Photo of The Jam Factory The Jam Factory "Great band Large music range Pub music Great to work with" Based in Brisbane, Queensland Joely - Hotel Photo of Jam District Jam District "⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Incredible Band! We hired Jam District for our event, and they absolutely blew us away! From start to finish, they were professional, energetic, and knew exactly how to read the crowd. Their talent, stage presence, and versatility had everyone dancing and singing along all night. So many of our guests commented on how amazing the music was—it truly made the night unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to elevate their event with top-quality live music. Thank you, Jam District, for creating such a fantastic atmosphere and memorable experience!" Based in Brisbane, Queensland Amber - corporate gig Photo of Girl Friday Girl Friday "We listen to a lot of live music and Girl Friday are one of our favourite bands, Michelle and the boys are ultimate professionals, their music ranges from swing, to blues, Latin and they make a lot of popular music their own. We love doing their Friday night Sun Set Cruises Jazz cruise out of Mooloolaba and we often catch their Eat Street, Toowoomba and Warwick 'Jumpers and Jazz' gigs. Great band to listen and dance to!" Based in Buderim, Queensland (54 miles from Brisbane) David Baggs - Multiple gigs Photo of Unbelievable Wedding Big Band/Orchestra Unbelievable Wedding Big Band/Orchestra "I have been meaning to message you directly also to thank you. What you produced the night of our wedding was nothing short of magical - and I do not say this lightly. I am very happy to hear the band enjoyed the evening - I think their enjoyment and energy showed through their music. The feedback we have had from guests is overwhelming, particularly that the band and the singer (I don't remember his name) was the best they have ever heard at a wedding. You guys nailed the performance. I am so happy that we decided to do a live version, you could not have gotten the same energy and vibe with just a recording / original version. Your two sets were also perfect. There were a few times that we all stopped in the marquee to listen and appreciate the music, particularly My Way - I remember looking around and quite a few people were singing along! I think another sign of a success of a wedding is the number of people on the dance floor, and there was not an empty space during the second set. The amount of people of all ages dancing was a true highlight for me as we wanted this to be a wedding that everyone would enjoy - not just us." Based in Sydney, New South Wales (455 miles from Brisbane) Alexa - Private Wedding

Frequently asked questions

Hiring dance bands typically costs between $330 and $6,000+, with an average of $1,950. The price depends on the number of musicians, set duration and the style of dance music. Dance bands vary from compact combos to large ensembles with horn sections, and the size of the line-up is the primary cost driver.

The dance bands for hire cover a wide range of popular dance music including pop, disco, funk, soul, Motown, rock and current chart hits. Most dance bands focus on well-known, uptempo songs designed to fill the dance floor at parties and celebrations.

Typical bookings for dance bands are two to three hours of live music, split into high-energy sets designed to keep guests on the dance floor. Short breaks between sets give the band and audience a chance to reset before the next round. It is worth discussing the event schedule with the band to plan the best format.

Most dance bands bring their own PA system, instruments and basic stage lighting. Some bands offer enhanced lighting packages as an optional extra. For larger venues, additional sound or lighting may be needed. It is advisable to confirm all technical requirements before booking.

Common events for dance bands include weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, proms and any celebration where getting guests dancing is a priority. A live dance band brings energy and interaction that a DJ or playlist cannot match.
