Reviews of Party Bands available in Scranton

5/5 from 2,634 reviews
Photo of Ostrich Hat Ostrich Hat "We hired Ostrich Hat to play at our wedding and they were incredible. They learned to play our first dance and the mother/son dance (which were pretty obscure tunes). They were professional and a pleasure to deal with every step of the way. They were also one of the most reasonably priced bands out there. I would absolutely hire them again and couldn't recommend them highly enough. ​" Based in Hazleton, Pennsylvania (35 miles from Scranton) Jordan S. - wedding Photo of 5th Gear Overdrive 5th Gear Overdrive "I have worked with 5th Gear on several occasions at several events throughout the area and I cannot say enough about the band. Not only do they sound great and have a wide range of music in their repertoire, but even more important in my book, they are consummate professionals. I have worked with enough "diva" bands to know these guys are not that at all. An absolute pleasure to work with each and every time. If you have the chance to see these guys play or better yet have a chance to hire them for your event, do not hesitate. Just do it. You will not regret it!" Based in Binghamton, New York (49 miles from Scranton) Ray Scott - General Manager Equinox Broadcasting Photo of Angel Rumba Y Su Orquesta Angel Rumba Y Su Orquesta "We had fun. Everyone danced to the music and the singer was Great. He was early and got ready quickly for the event. Everything went smoothly."

The Bassboards really made our affair special. I can't say enough about them." Based in Flemington, New Jersey (75 miles from Scranton) Jim N. - Wedding Photo of Stage Fright Band Stage Fright Band "The entire band was great. They were prepared and played to the crowd. The sound was appropriate for the event and got the entire party going! Lori was great to work with and took the time to learn about the event, the crowd and prepared a song list that hit the mark. We will be using them again in the future." Based in West Orange, New Jersey (85 miles from Scranton) Michael W. - House Party

Frequently asked questions

Hiring party bands typically costs between $240 and $3,700+, with an average of $1,100. 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.
