Bands based close to your venue usually quote less, because travel time and any overnight costs are built into the fee. Ask what a quote covers before comparing two acts: some include PA and stage lighting, others price them separately.

Soul Bands in BournemouthParty bands in Bournemouth, England, United Kingdom play popular music across several decades, from Motown and classic rock to current chart hits, adjusting the setlist and energy to suit the room. Also called function bands, these acts usually run to 3 to 6 musicians and are booked for weddings, birthdays, corporate functions and private parties.
Set structure varies more than most people expect. A typical evening booking is two 45-minute sets with a break, and many bands supply a DJ playlist to cover the gap so the music never stops. Confirm how early the act needs access for setup, whether the venue has a sound limiter, and whether the band will learn a specific song for a first dance.
Rates for function bands in Bournemouth range from £180 to £2,550+, with the average booking at £800. Band size is the biggest factor: a three-piece costs less than a six-piece with brass or a second vocalist. Performance length, travel distance and whether the act supplies its own PA and lighting all move the figure.
The average price for Party Bands available in Bournemouth, England, United Kingdom is £800 (GBP). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Tim SaxDJ
"We cannot thank Tim enough! He kept all the guests entertained through out the whole wedding day. He performed the sax during the ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast with many recognisable songs which kept ourselves and the guest well entertained. Tim was also our DJ for the reception and wow! Our friends and family did not leave the dance floor! He understood the crowd and also handed out song request slips which my guests loved! Thankyou so much Tim! I highly recommend as not only a saxophonist but also a brilliant DJ!!"

Sunday Avenue
"We had the pleasure of booking Sunday Avenue for our wedding, and they were absolutely fantastic! David, the guitarist, and Aimee, the singer, were a perfect pairing, offering a brilliant mix of music from the 1950s all the way through to the present day. Their performance was seamless, with a great variety of songs that had everyone enjoying themselves throughout the event.
Both were incredibly professional, arrived on time, and set up quickly and efficiently. Aimee’s voice is simply stunning, and David’s guitar playing added the perfect touch to every song. The atmosphere they created was warm and lively, and they had something for every guest to enjoy, no matter their musical taste.
We received so many compliments from our guests, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly for any event. Sunday Avenue truly made our special day unforgettable. Thank you, David and Aimee!"
