Photo of The Wilgars The Wilgars "I went to see the Wilgars and what a band the sound was perfect,and their set list was perfect,had us up dancing all night" Based in Lisburn, Northern Ireland (7 miles from Belfast) Citycomm Photo of Pure Blarney Pure Blarney "Just a note from myself though, we knew the band was great and would go down amazingly with our guests - but we were not prepared for how well they were received!! So many compliments about you guys! Review for you to use: We had pure blarney play at our wedding and what an experience!! They were absolutely outstanding. The dance floor was full the entire time - you literally couldn’t stop for a break because every song they played was phenomenal. They were so interactive with the guests and created the most amazing atmosphere. They genuinely have such a talent for what then do - their instruments, their singing and their ability to sustain such high energy. Absolutely faultless!" Based in Ballymena, Northern Ireland (23 miles from Belfast) Barry Taggart - Wedding Photo of Kitchen Kitchen "Kitchen are a first class professional music choice for any occasion. Highly recommended." Based in Armagh, Northern Ireland (34 miles from Belfast) Atmosphere - Entertainment agency Photo of JM Saxophone JM Saxophone "John played our wedding dinner entrance and throughout the meal, and he was absolutely brilliant, He had our guests up out of their seats, cheering and celebrating as we made our entrance with our bridal party. His music created such a lovely atmosphere and made the whole meal feel so special. We had so many lovely comments from our guests about him too. John was so friendly and professional from start to finish, and we really couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Thank you so much, John, for being part of our special day and helping make it one to remember. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a saxophonist for their wedding" Based in Dublin, Leinster, Ireland (88 miles from Belfast) 6th November 2026 Rachel Farrell - Wedding Photo of 8-Bit Funk 8-Bit Funk "Big thank you to 8-Bit for putting on a great show. The band were super accommodating, really well organized, very communicative. They did a great job of playing background jazz at a birthday and of course all the nostalgic gaming hits. Both young(5-15) and old(40 yr olds) loved it" Based in Dublin, Leinster, Ireland (88 miles from Belfast) 22nd September 2026 Jonny - Birthday Photo of Steven Knight Music (Ireland) Steven Knight Music (Ireland) "Steven was great.

Frequently asked questions

Hiring party bands typically costs between £180 and £2,650+, with an average of £850. 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.
