5/5 from 699 reviews
Photo of Dance Floor Mafia Dance Floor Mafia "If you want a band that is very flexible, will make your party lively and just add the cherry on top to your events, pick Dance Floor Mafia! We had a very multigenerational group, I was curious at to how they'll pull it off. People from their 90's to people from their early 20's. Their song lists got EVERYBODY moving! We booked Dance Floor Mafia for our outdoor party/reception at our property and they blew everyone away! They set up and broke down so quickly. They also had lights and a FOG MACHINE!!! It is nice to have the whole Band/DJ make the crowd go wild and also have fun with the family while they are at it. Thank you so much for making our celebrations of our unity special. I also want to give a big shout out to Christian Bewly for being very responsive when i need to reach him. He is a very professional and will go out of his way to make your night the way you want it to be. We wanted a Hawaiian themed band and they definitely made it happen! What surprised me even more is, they played a party anthem song that only the local islanders back home knows about. Thank you for making this special and a night to remember forever. Matt and Lea" Based in Portland, Oregon Lea and Matt - Wedding reception Photo of Good Co Good Co "We hired Good Co for our 1920's themed holiday party. They were extremely flexible and accommodating, especially when we asked if they would follow our leadership around the office as they gathered people for the party. Awesome talent, great at judging sound vs space. Our office is pretty echo-y and loud, but they found the right balance immediately. Definitely keeping on the books for next time!" Based in Seattle, Washington (145 miles from Portland) Ashley V - Corporate Party Photo of The Unknowns The Unknowns "There are songs that just stand out because they are so different from everything out there. “Stay Down Kat”, by The Unknowns, is definitely one of those songs. There’s a suave, jazzy, bluesy feel to this song, with great lead and backing vocals. It’s sultry, sensual, mysterious, and controlled, yet it has its powerful moments. And who can resist a great sax solo? Those things will draw you in, and soon The Unknowns will be known." Based in Bellingham, Washington (224 miles from Portland) George Duchow - WRGG Radio Photo of Annika & the Earthlings Annika & the Earthlings "Thanks for a fantastic evening! We have booked our next year's Christmas event, on Dec 5, 2026. Same venue. I would love if we can have the band play for us again!!! Kindly confirm. Mike" Based in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada (245 miles from Portland) 21st March 2026 Mike - Coastland Engineering Photo of Buddy and the scarecrow Buddy and the scarecrow "From the very first time I saw/heard this band at the FAIRVIEW PUB I knew they were something special, what sets this band apart from most is the way they play as a seamless unit, great jams that can get you moving on the dance floor and every member of the band is a really nice person that will engage in a conversation with any fan. I have seen them play many many times and each time I leave I am left wanting more and awaiting the next show. If you have not seen this band I suggest you take the time to seek them out and hear what you have been missing" Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (258 miles from Portland) TED COPELAND - just a fan of good music Photo of Destination 80'S Destination 80'S "I'm a member of a golf club in North End Boise, Idaho. These girls were absolutely amazing. I told them "If I were a judge on The Voice or something, I would send all of you to the winner's category, you are just great. Your voices blend so well and yet are unique." Based in Boise, Idaho (345 miles from Portland) Crane Creek Country Club Member - Golf Club Members Only Poolside Entertainment

Frequently asked questions

Hiring dance bands typically costs between $220 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.
