5/5 from 9 reviews
Photo of Cameron Arndt Music Cameron Arndt Music "Cameron is a fantastic live musician! He made my 40th birthday party truly special. Cameron plays nonstop, hit after hit, and has a good sense of what the audience wants. He started with quiet background music, but later, he moved on to cool party music that got everyone singing along, dancing, and celebrating. All of the guests (100+) were thrilled, and many asked for his contact information. I'm looking forward to another event with Cameron and can highly recommend him!" Based in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia Benjamin Offerman - 40th Birthday Party Photo of Mr. Pleasant - Germany's No.1 Kinks Tribut Mr. Pleasant - Germany's No.1 Kinks Tribut "I have seen Mr. Pleasant several times now in the Cologne club scene and was always thrilled by their performance, their joy of playing and the professionalism of the five musicians. Fantastic how they manage the cross-section of 40 years of music by the Kinks with all the great hits of this legendary Britpop band." Translated from German Based in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia Thomas Weyer - Clubgig Photo of Maya Fadeeva Maya Fadeeva "From the very first contact, with a great interest in making our event as perfect as possible musically, I was thrilled to accept MAYA’s suggestions - and it was exactly the right decision! Highly professional, always friendly and attentive, Maya and her bandmates guided us through our New Year’s Eve gala with vocals, saxophone, guitar, and the turntables. Charming and with a wonderful sense for the guests! Many, many thanks, and we can’t wait to have you with us again soon! :-)" Based in Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia (21 miles from Cologne) Sarah - New Year‘s Eve Gala Photo of Big to the Future Big to the Future "Every year since 2013 we welcome the Big to the Future Band at our Silverlake Vineyard in Pattaya. As we only want the best for our guests, we are so glad that you tour Thailand twice every year. It is wonderful how you guys start of during dinner of our guests with a smaller setting of Big to the Future. It fits perfectly as the guests can talk with each other and listen to your smooth jazzy music. It is in perfect balance and we had many compliments for that. As the evening continues you know as the best how to step up to more danceable music and interact with our guests perfectly. There are not many bands like you that have such a huge music repertoire going from classic 20's to 60's to 90's all the way through to current top 40 hits. All high performance quality! Your singer has not only a great voice, but he is a number one entertainer and has the ability to keep everyone excited. And what to say about you horn section, they are really amazing and are for sure the cream on top of your band! Dance moves, high energy, walking through the guests in our restaurant and making music as tight as it can get, wow! You know as the best how to interact with our guests and get them on the dance floor ..... and keep them dancing until the final song, When you are on, the dancefloor stays packed, amazing! It is our privilege to have you guys here whenever possible and I have no hesitation in recommending the Big to the Future Band for any event! Our guests love you!

A pleasure to listen to and entertain the people." Based in Bilzen, Flanders, Belgium (63 miles from Cologne) Eetkaffée Hartenberg - Oktoberfest Photo of Dominique Dominique "Dominique proves that one person is more than enough Some artists need a whole band to make an impact, but Dominique proves that one person can be enough to fill our event with energy, emotion and pure musical power. During his show he showed why music is sometimes the most impressive. With his voice, guitar and installation, Dominique managed to create a sound that felt like there was a whole band on stage. Every note and chord was delivered with such precision and feeling that the audience was captivated from start to finish. His voice? Raw emotion and technical perfection in one. From intimate ballads to powerful uptempo songs, the versatility was impressive. What made this performance extra special was the interaction with the audience. Dominique managed to make a real connection, with personal stories between the songs and an energy that captivated you as a listener. You felt the passion and craftsmanship in every performance. With influences from pop rock music, but with a unique twist of his own, Dominique has proven that he is a name to keep an eye on. Whether you like profound lyrics, virtuoso playing or simply music that goes straight to the heart—this is an artist you must experience live. A musical journey you don't want to miss."

Frequently asked questions

Hiring party bands typically costs between €200 and €3,150+, with an average of €1,000. The price is driven primarily by the number of band members, performance duration and whether the act includes extras such as DJ sets between live music, lighting or staging. Party bands range from lean four-piece outfits to large ensembles with horn sections and backing vocalists.

A typical party band booking covers two to three hours, usually divided into two or three sets with short breaks. Larger party bands with bigger line-ups often deliver a more high-energy show with audience interaction between songs. It is worth discussing the event timeline with the band to agree on the best format.

The party bands play a broad mix of crowd-pleasing music including pop, rock, soul, funk, disco, Motown, hip hop and current chart hits. The focus is on well-known, danceable songs that appeal to a wide audience and keep the party atmosphere going.

Hiring party bands is one of the most popular entertainment choices for weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, festivals and private celebrations. A live party band brings energy, interaction and showmanship that take any event beyond what a DJ or playlist can deliver.

Most party bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, instruments, stage lighting and DJ equipment for use between sets. For very large venues or outdoor stages, additional sound and lighting may be required. It is a good idea to confirm all technical details before booking.

The party bands on Gig Heaven range from compact three or four-piece groups to larger ensembles with horn sections, backing singers and additional musicians. A bigger line-up creates a more powerful sound for large venues and events. Many bands offer flexible line-up options to suit different budgets.
