Ask what a quote covers before comparing two acts: some include PA and stage lighting, others price them separately.

Soul Bands in CardiffParty bands in Cardiff, Wales, 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 Cardiff range from £180 to £2,600+, 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 Cardiff, Wales, 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.
Krystal Live Band
"This band is simply fabulous! I organized a party with about 120 people, young and the most "old" and I have never seen such an atmosphere. The next day my guests only talked about that. The musical level is stunning, the set list is great, the sound is exceptional (it plays loud but you never have the impression that it hits your ears. I wonder how they come to this result!) The beautiful light show coordinated with the music. In short, great art. And not to spoil anything they are just adorable."
The Vibrators Band
"We are so happy we hired this band for our wedding! Communication with Ricardo was very quick and smooth from the very start. The band is very professional and has a great choice of music selection that kept everyone dancing. They even set up in a couple of different locations to fit the flow of our special day. Everyone loved their amazing energy and they really kept the party going all night. We would truly recommend them for great vibes and an unforgettable time!"
Back in Scott
