Photo of Indigo Mood Indigo Mood "Indigo Moon were great. Super range of songs and lovely saxophone playing. I would highly recommend." Based in Dungarvan, Munster (38 miles from Cork) 14th December 2025 Aisling - Gatsby party Photo of Fierce Weddings Fierce Weddings "When scouting for a wedding band for our big day, my little sister suggested that I check these guys out, as she had seen them live a few times across various venues in the South East. She knew the brief and by god did these guys meet (and exceed) it. We wanted some class music and a vibe that everyone would remember, not just another generic wedding set. Fierce mild clearly do NOT do generic 🤣 far from it! Ailise and Andrew were there from 1pm until 1am the following morning, going from truly beautiful acoustic sets for our ceremony (bringing many tears to many eyes) and drinks reception to rocking it up with the main band for our evening celebrations before ending the night with a cracking DJ set. These guys literally did not stop all day! I got to really enjoy my “father-daughter” dance as Andrew, Ailise and the band learned “sweet child of mine” by Guns and Roses especially for the occasion. To say my dad was surprised (and delighted) would be putting it mild. What made it even more special was having several friends and family members come up to ask who the band were and how they had never had such a good time dancing at a wedding (and considering it was blistering hot that day in the marquee, I will take that as a massive compliment). If you are looking for a band with some real soul, real edge, then look no further! Would recommend them 100%! Can we do it all again? 🥹" Based in Waterford, Munster (63 miles from Cork) 19th October 2026 Kayleigh Walsh Photo of Ken Jones Ken Jones "Ken travelled to our engagement party in Sligo and was amazing! We asked for a few songs before hand and all of them were played. Great music and great night." Based in Galway, Connaught (98 miles from Cork) 26th October 2026 Laura Molloy - Engagement Party Photo of The Lewd Tunes The Lewd Tunes "I can 100% recommend The Lewd Tunes. They had our dance floor full all night and were absolutely once of the best parts of our big day. Pat was so professional to deal with and was so fast with his replies every time. Thanks so much guys. Aine and Brian" Based in Galway, Connaught (98 miles from Cork) 4th November 2025 Aine Murphy - Wedding Photo of Steven Knight Music (Ireland) Steven Knight Music (Ireland) "Steven was great.

Frequently asked questions

Hiring party bands typically costs between €200 and €3,200+, 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.

The party bands for hire 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.

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 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.

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.
