Reviews of Party Bands based near Watford

5/5 from 857 reviews
Photo of Jukebox Jukebox "Saw this new band at Iconic Wheatsheaf. Absolutely brilliant. Had our feet tapping to the Rock n Roll music all night, and new all the old songs from the sixties. We had a great evening. Will keep an eye out for when they are playing again. Great vocals and instrumentals. They looked like they had a good following of people who were dancing all night! (10 / 10)" Based in Watford, England Hannah and Clare - Private Wedding Photo of The RAZORZ The RAZORZ "Star attraction on reopening night at The Lamb, Bicester. The venue is a clever mix of sports bar, diner and nightclub recently upgraded. The Razorz had the place rocking with their driving rhythms and wide choice of rock music. Crocodile rock was a stand out number filling the dance floor and encouraging others to join in. A very professional and high quality band." Based in Ruislip, England (6 miles from Watford) Martin - Grand Re-opening of The Lamb Inn, Bicester Photo of IndiGo IndiGo "Excellent band, had the dance floor full from start to finish." Based in St Albans, England (7 miles from Watford) Simon Hunter - Wedding Photo of Soul75 Soul75 "The band had great chemistry on stage and performed each song to a high level. The singers in particular were great, especially at getting the crowd going and getting people up on the dancefloor." Based in Hemel Hempstead, England (7 miles from Watford) Chloe - Company party Photo of Lush Tones Lush Tones "The Lush Tones are such a great live band. I saw them in a local pub in Watford and was blown away. Great act, contemporary tunes. See them if you can." Based in Hemel Hempstead, England (7 miles from Watford) Mark Rodenhurst Photo of Soul Vibe Band Soul Vibe Band "We hired Soul Vibe Band to play our wedding, and they were fantastic! Kainy who was our contact was very helpful in the lead up to the wedding and was a pleasure to work with, and they even arranged something especially for our first dance, which we hugely appreciated. They keep the energy up and put on a great set, and for a six piece band were exceptionally reasonably priced. I would absolutely recommend them for anyone looking for their own wedding band!" Based in Acton, England (11 miles from Watford) Francis & Hayley Robson - Private Wedding

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.
