Based in Toronto, Ontario Fraser the Amazer - party band event shows Photo of Jerry Caringi Jerry Caringi "I had the pleasure of hiring Jerry Caringi for my dad's 70th birthday party, and he truly made the evening unforgettable. His performance filled the venue with an incredible sound, and the repertoire was diverse, ensuring there was something for everyone to enjoy. We have had the opportunity to work with Jerry for many years; Jerry is always able to create a lively atmosphere, captivate the audience, and make everyone feel involved in the celebration. He was incredibly easy to work with from the initial booking to the end of the event. He was punctual, professional, and accommodating, which made the entire process seamless. I would highly recommend Jerry. He consistently exceeds expectations and contributed to making my dad's 70th birthday party a memorable success!"

Frequently asked questions

Hiring dance bands typically costs between $320 and $6,000+, with an average of $1,900. 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.
