Photo of Louise Golbey - Jazz, Soul, Pop, Disco Louise Golbey - Jazz, Soul, Pop, Disco "I first met Louise at a wedding showcase over 10 years ago, and from that moment she was completely embedded in my brain! She has such a wonderfully soulful, distinctive voice, and I remember knowing there and then that whenever my wedding day came, I wanted her to be the one performing. Fast forward more than a decade, and having Louise and the quartet there on our wedding day was honestly so special. They were absolutely incredible and created the most beautiful atmosphere from the moment they started playing. Hearing that voice I had remembered all those years ago, now singing at our wedding, was a real full-circle moment for me. The quartet were phenomenal – so talented, polished and effortlessly brilliant. The music brought so much warmth and emotion to the day, and so many of our guests commented on just how amazing they were. Louise, you were every bit as wonderful as I remembered and more. It was genuinely a dream to finally have you perform at our wedding after all these years. Thank you to you and the whole quartet and Terrron the DJ for being such a special part of our day and for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever. 🤍 We couldn’t recommend you highly enough! Kelly & Jake xx" Based in London, England 3rd November 2026 Kelly Godbold - Wedding Band Photo of New Colours New Colours "We had New Colours play at The Queens Head and they were absolutely incredible. The range of music they played was phenomenal and they kept everyone entertained all night. They had everyone in the pub dancing and singing. Every song they did was amazing. Absolute little gem of a band. So much so, I am having them play in my other pub. Would highly recommend hiring them for the evening. An absolute pleasure to have them. Thank you so much for making the night so successful."

I would gladly use your services again. Thank you Micky and Donna." Based in London, England 17th August 2026 Micky Beecher - Birthday Event Photo of The Latin Formula The Latin Formula "What a brilliant band! We booked Michael’s group at a fairly short notice for our afternoon garden party. Michael phoned me twice before the event to check details and discuss our requirements. They arrived early, in plenty of time to set up, and advised on the best place for them to perform. The music was fantastic, they really involved everyone and got people dancing and joining in. They looked and sounded great, and turned the party into a great event. Thank you!" Based in London, England 12th July 2026 Linda K. - Birthday Party Photo of Loran Regis Loran Regis "Loran was absolutely brilliant. A talented performer with a great voice and an excellent selection of pop and rock classics. He kept the audience entertained all evening and was professional from the moment we booked him. Highly recommended and we look forward to booking him again in the future. ★★★★★" Based in London, England 17th June 2026 Fabian Mouriff - Private Event Photo of Blue Mountain Reggae Band Blue Mountain Reggae Band "Great communications with Christina, and friendly and useful input on choice of songs etc before event.

Frequently asked questions

Hiring party bands typically costs between £180 and £2,550+, with an average of £800. 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.
