Reviews of Party Bands available in Iowa

5/5 from 2,517 reviews
Photo of Them Uke Boys Them Uke Boys "I saw Them Uke Boys perform at a couple of bars in town and ended up having them perform at my wedding! They were BEYOND amazing and I would recommend them to anyone! They were so accommodating and willing to perform longer when I didn’t want the night to end! Seriously go see them perform or have them at your next event. You won’t regret it." Based in Omaha, Nebraska Jesslyn Song - Wedding Photo of The R Factor The R Factor "The absolute BEST! The R Factor was the highlight of our wedding last December. We had the largest dance floor possible at our venue, Saint Paul Hotel, and people were dancing on the carpet- The dance floor was PACKED all night. Almost a year later, we still have guests raving to us about our wedding band. They were professional, took short breaks (the shortest breaks I’ve ever seen at a wedding) and they played almost all of the songs we requested. I highly recommend R Factor for any event. Thank you for making our wedding so memorable!!!" Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota Mike & Julie - Wedding Photo of Big Time Grain Company Big Time Grain Company "Thank you guys for such great entertainment. I have received so many positive comments about your band and wanted you to know that. Your band went above and beyond to entertain all ages in attendance. You guys kept everything going and the crowd energized. A night to remember for sure!!! You are definitely part of the Heinen Brothers family and we are looking forward to seeing you guys at P&L next month. I will not hesitate recommending you for anyone’s event, should the opportunity present itself." Based in Prairie Village, Kansas Amanda Mueting - Heinen Bros / Nemeha County Fair Photo of Sass Monkey Sass Monkey "The process of acquiring Sass Monkey for my event went pretty flawlessly. Don kept in contact with me on what to expect and it was coordinated with no concerns on my end. The band sounded great and the young gal singing had a voice that was terrific. Great experience. Thanks to the whole crew." Based in Overland Park, Kansas Susan Photo of Electro Retro Band Electro Retro Band "Great, Great, Great Our crowd LOVED you and I am so appreciative of how flexible you all were!!

Frequently asked questions

Hiring party bands typically costs between $240 and $3,750+, with an average of $1,150. 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.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
