We had The Lucky Saints play in the evening at our wedding at The Cruin last weekend. We appreciated their communication before the big day so much for making us feel so at ease and they arrived in plenty of time on the night. Other than our first dance and a few common requests, we wanted to leave them to do their thing - and boy did they deliver! They unexpectedly started (after our first dance) with a Gay Gordons ceilidh dance which was a surprise and really turned out to be the best way to start the evening - getting everybody up onto the dancefloor and having a laugh! They then moved seamlessly on to indie anthems, classic pop tunes and dancefloor fillers - they always knew what to play next to keep everyone on their feet. All tied up with a beautiful rendition of Loch Lomond to finish the night. The dancefloor was filled the whole evening and our guests kept commenting on how great the band were - particularly the beautiful female vocals and their ability to perform such a range so well. They even gifted us a bottle of "The Lucky Saints" branded bubbly to top it off! Thanks so much for giving us the best party on our special day!! True professionals and such a lovely group, we would highly recommend!"

Frequently asked questions

Hiring party bands typically costs between £170 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.
