They engaged the crowd and people have done nothing but tell me how great our band was. I can't wait to hire them again. They made our wedding exactly what we wanted!" Based in Montgomery, Alabama (279 miles from New Orleans) Review by Shelley R. FROM ORANGE BEACH, AL Photo of Prestige Party Band Prestige Party Band "I hired this band for my 40th birthday party 1920’s casino themed. Matthew the band leader was great and professional in our first meeting. I had a lot of questions and he was patient with me answering everything. On the load in day of the party they had their sound team present and on time !!!! The band showed up on time and ready to go and I requested two songs that they killed !!!! We had an awesome time and they played like it was no tmrw !!!! I still get compliments about this party because of this band and I will definitely hire them again and again. They are true musicians dedicated to being the best and putting out quality work. One of the things I liked the most about this band is when they do this free style song and they invite others to preform with them. It’s awesome to see it and you never know how or who would kill the mic. Best band ever !!!!!"

Frequently asked questions

Hiring dance bands typically costs between $240 and $3,950+, with an average of $1,350. 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.
