Availability tightens around December and the summer wedding season, so the most in-demand acts in the United States are often booked six to twelve months ahead. Bands based close to your venue usually quote less, because travel time and any overnight costs are built into the fee. Ask what a quote covers before comparing two acts: some include PA and stage lighting, others price them separately.
Of the 1,780 suppliers listed here, 900 are based in the United States. The other 880 are willing to travel there.

Party bands in the United States 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 the United States range from $220 to $3,400+, with the average booking at $1,000. 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 is $1,000 (USD), with most priced from $220 to $3,400+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Woods Creek Band
"Woods Creek Band is one of my favorite bands to listen to. I like how professional they are, and their choice of music always gets me moving to the beat. They play local gigs frequently so I can be a groupie. Go check them out."
The Wanderers
"We first enjoyed listening to The Wanderers during the pandemic. Since then, we’ve followed them to Palo Alto, Campbell, and San Pedro Square. Their song list appeals to all ages. They played at our son’s wedding in Jamestown and the music was awesome!! The dance floor never slowed down, and we all had a blast! We can’t thank them enough for making our special day even more special."
Audley Reid Saxophonist
"Audley played sax at our drinks reception and honestly, he was such a great choice. Just him and his sax, and the whole room felt warmer the second he started. Guests kept wandering over to listen, and a few came up to ask us who he was. He was super easy to work with too, showed up on time and just got on with it. We’d book him again in a heartbeat."
Steve*ELVIS*Gold
"We had Steve Elvis come to make a surprise appearance at the cocktail hour during our Las Vegas wedding and he really set the tone for the party! We initially wanted a song or two and some photos, but he told us about his 30 minute wedding show and he really rocked the house. He did a great job at having me and my bride still being the center of it all, but brought the energy we wanted to get everyone on the dance floor. It's been about 3 weeks now, and our family and friends are still raving about what a great job he did and how much fun they had dancing with The King! Steve is a THE answer for your Las Vegas Elvis appearance!"
Jimi King Trio
"Awesome!
Jimi and the guys were SO good--perfect for our event and loved by our team and guests! Jimi was super-responsive with communications--very nice to work with. Will definitely book them again in the future!
