I have hired him to play at our special events at work and for my family events. He knows how to create the perfect list of songs to fit your particular event. We love to see him come in the door and hate to see him leave. We sing along we play the instruments that he provides, it’s just a great experience. 10 out of 10 every time" Based in Richmond, Virginia 18th September 2026 Monica Photo of Private Affair Band Private Affair Band "Have you ever wondered what makes a great party? We learned quickly that it is Private Affairs. We hired this band for an upscale 70th Birthday Party, and without them, this event would have been just another party. The theme was the 70s, and not only did all the band members embrace it by dressing in 70s garb, but they also embraced the spirit of the party and created the most fun and engaging atmosphere. They are consummate professionals and wonderful human beings. Their interaction with the party-goers helped make this event fun and memorable for everyone. All evening long, our guests came up to us and said things like, "What a band", and "Who are these great musicians"? If you want to elevate your event and are looking for FUN, do not hesitate to engage Private Affairs." Based in Los Angeles, California 8th September 2026 Barb K - 70th Birthday Party
