5/5 from 200 reviews
Photo of The Big Fat Party Band The Big Fat Party Band "Horizon played at my husband’s 50th birthday villa party in Marbella and they were absolutely spectacular. They played all the classic rock and pop hits we grew up with and the sound quality was fantastic. The band brought so much life and energy to our garden setup, and they really interacted with all our guests. Thank you for making it a night to remember for everyone." Based in Milton Keynes, England 8th July 2026 Katie Reynolds - Birthday Photo of Shoot To Thrill Shoot To Thrill "Shoot To Thrill were phenomenal throughout. From setting up, to sound check, to the incredible performance on our wedding day, they were fantastic. Our guests loved the music and we have been delighted by the comments we have received from our guests. The musicianship, the perfect sound and the choice of songs were all spot on. Can only say a massive 'thank you'." Based in Milton Keynes, England David and Alex Taylor - Wedding Photo of Revolve Revolve "This is the second year we have had Revolve play for our Christmas Parties at The Civic, Trowbridge and again, they helped to make the events a complete success. A great professional band with awesome sound and fantastic crowd participation. This year we also had them for our New Year's Eve Ball. Feedback was incredible. We cannot recommend them enough and we will definitely be booking them again for future events." Based in Leighton Buzzard, England (10 miles from Milton Keynes) Paul Weimar - Xmas Function Photo of The Krakens The Krakens "From start to finish we have nothing but praise for The Krakens. Chris was quick to respond to my enquiry looking for a band to play at a 30th birthday party and kept in touch from then on. We were sent a varied list of songs to choose from; a mix of rock/pop both modern and classic. Once the booking was confirmed they asked us if there was anything we wanted added to the list and they would learn them for the evening! On the night the band turned up on time, and set up (and packed up) without any bother. Their performance was totally satisfactory, two excellent one-hour sets which included our requested numbers. Everyone agreed that The Krakens were a friendly, “tight” band that performed with confidence and professionalism which made our night that bit special. Would definitely recommend them!" Based in Bedford, England (14 miles from Milton Keynes) 17th April 2026 Paul A - 30th Birthday Photo of King Konga - Percussionist & DJ King Konga - Percussionist & DJ "What a fantastic duo! They were excellent from the start, helping us create the vibe we wanted for our wedding. My husband and were blown away by how they interacted with the crowd, knowing exactly when to play what songs for that moment’s vibe. The dancefloor was never empty. Music has always been important to us, and I can honestly say Si and Andy made our wedding day. I have already had friends from our wedding who work within the hospitality industry ask for their details as they are a well-rounded band and make any song memorable. We highly recommend and will be booking again for future events." Based in Bedford, England (14 miles from Milton Keynes) Karri - Wedding (DJ, sax and percussion duo) Photo of Limelight function/covers band Limelight function/covers band "Amazing band. Great songs and a fantastic singer. Easy to deal with and everyone had a brilliant time. Thanks guys xxx" Based in Bedford, England (14 miles from Milton Keynes) Joanna Chapillon - Private function

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.
