Reviews of Dance Bands available in Essen

5/5 from 810 reviews
Photo of Drunk’NFunk Drunk’NFunk "I've seen a few performances already. Every time, sparkling, energetic, and the fun just splashes off of it. Tasty music from excellent musicians who are well attuned to each other. Enjoying it again and again every time!" Translated from Dutch Based in Nijmegen, Gelderland, Netherlands (56 miles from Essen) 21st October 2026 Ants Photo of Live Music en DJ Live Music en DJ "This was next level and we had the best time. Thanks for everything" Based in Heusden, Flanders, Belgium (80 miles from Essen) Belinda - Private Party Photo of Benga - Party Band Benga - Party Band "We booked Benga for our wedding, and we loved every second of the show! As we told the band after, 5 stars feels too little, and we would give them 7 if we could. From the get-go, Noam was on it with the organisation and the minute details, making it clear we were dealing with a professional crew and that we could relax on the day and let them do their thing. And that, they did! Tessa and the band were magical, with the perfect level of crowd interaction to get everyone dancing, our guests were over the moon, and so were we. I cannot recommend enough their energy, good mood, and sheer talent. Everything went far beyond our best hopes, and we just ended up getting the best party of our lives at our own wedding! PS: It also helps that they have pretty good taste in music and so chose to play banger after banger." Based in Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands (110 miles from Essen) Louis Henry - Wedding Photo of Uptown Coverband Uptown Coverband "Wow, what a fantastic group! With a small lineup, Uptown Coverband managed to create a great atmosphere at the closing party of the European Guide and Scout Conference at the Maassilo. We received many positive reactions from the participants regarding the repertoire and the quality. The communication beforehand also went very smoothly. Kudos!" Based in Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands (113 miles from Essen) 1st October 2026 Meike Tanesha - European Guide and Scout Conference closing party Photo of Sax For You Sax For You "Alexander is amazing! He is thoughtful, fun, kind, creative and such an amazing artist to work with! He was so patient with planning and even added ideas for a surprise birthday song for my girlfriend! I would absolutely work with him again🥂" Based in Antwerp, Flanders, Belgium (114 miles from Essen) Morteza Photo of Skyline Club Band Skyline Club Band "We had the band booked in Chur. Absolutely fantastic for our company anniversary. Lounge music, and a party where everyone danced, which we had never had before. The DJ was also very good. Communication was a bit slow, but very good." Translated from German Based in Frankfurt am Main, Hesse (118 miles from Essen) 28th October 2026 Diana - Porsche

Frequently asked questions

Hiring dance bands typically costs between €210 and €3,550+, with an average of €1,200. 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.

Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
