Photo of The Wanderers The Wanderers "We first enjoyed listening to The Wanderers during the pandemic. Since then, we’ve followed them to Palo Alto, Campbell, and San Pedro Square. Their song list appeals to all ages. They played at our son’s wedding in Jamestown and the music was awesome!! The dance floor never slowed down, and we all had a blast! We can’t thank them enough for making our special day even more special." Based in San Jose, California (51 miles from Monterey) 20th October 2026 Dr. Kevin and Terri Sawyer, Los Altos Photo of Dos Bandoleros Dos Bandoleros "Private and Public events-Highly recommended I know them for years, they play in so many places in SF (Venga Empandas, El Chato…) I always have a great time. You can dance and sing during their performances. Everyone comes together to have fun, they bring such amazing energy. For my husband’s 50th bday, they played at our home. They arrived on time, they had all the equipment ready for the time we scheduled it. They did an amazing show, helped with the bday song and it was above incredible! I highly recommend them if you want impress your guests and/or bring new clients to your restaurants/ bar." Based in San Francisco, California (86 miles from Monterey) Judit S F Photo of Alex Sandra Alex Sandra "Alex Sandra performed at my birthday party and everyone loved her. She was also very responsive both via the app and text. I really appreciated that she provided any equipment she needed and a great pop song list. I would hire her again in a heart beat!"

They really know how to get a crowd going and having a good time.. We will most likely or hire them again next year." Based in Los Angeles, California (271 miles from Monterey) 19th September 2026 Ryann Lopez - Sierra Madre, Concert in the park Photo of Private Affair Band Private Affair Band "Have you ever wondered what makes a great party? We learned quickly that it is Private Affairs. We hired this band for an upscale 70th Birthday Party, and without them, this event would have been just another party. The theme was the 70s, and not only did all the band members embrace it by dressing in 70s garb, but they also embraced the spirit of the party and created the most fun and engaging atmosphere. They are consummate professionals and wonderful human beings. Their interaction with the party-goers helped make this event fun and memorable for everyone. All evening long, our guests came up to us and said things like, "What a band", and "Who are these great musicians"? If you want to elevate your event and are looking for FUN, do not hesitate to engage Private Affairs." Based in Los Angeles, California (271 miles from Monterey) 8th September 2026 Barb K - 70th Birthday Party

Frequently asked questions

Hiring dance bands typically costs between $220 and $3,950+, with an average of $1,400. 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.
