Photo of Relative Cool Relative Cool "We thought Relative Cool were absolutely brilliant when they played at our wedding. The vocalist was fabulous! The 3 sets filled the whole evening and definitely had everyone up dancing. I also really appreciated little things like the singer chatting with one of the kids while they had a break between sets. They were thoroughly professional throughout. We spoke to Tom before the evening and he was always really responsive with messages. We would definitely recommend them and thank you very much for making it a great evening!"

Frequently asked questions

Hiring party bands typically costs between £180 and £2,600+, 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.
