Party Bands for hire in Stockton-on-Tees
Latest reviews of our Party Bands in Stockton-on-Tees
"What can I say.. I was let down a previous band a few weeks before my wedding & thank god I found Voodoo. When I looked at their videos and repertoire & spoke to Louise I knew instantly it was actually a blessing in disguise. My biggest nightmare for my wedding would have been to have a cheesy cover band & I knew as soon as I spoke to Louise we were on the same page & they would deliver exactly what I wanted. They played all funky, classic dance songs with a mix of soul. Their style was perfect for us and their videos honestly do not do them enough justice. Everyone loved them and I cannot thankyou enough for delivering more than I could ever imagine for our party. Wish we could do it all again! Thankyou so much!!"

"Wow, from start to finish Kiki and her band were insane! They kept the dancefloor alive and interacted with our rowdy bunch keeping them royally entertained! Don't hesitate booking Kiki for a wedding you won't have any regrets. The lighting and whole vibe made our wedding eve so much fun! As 95/96 kids there are plenty of medleys that are the balance of throwbacks, classics and modern that makes all ages feel included! Kirsty Kiki's momager was so great too, constantly communicating with us and worked with us to create a magical set list. Everyone is still talking about it! Wow x"

"Absolutely fantastic band. Booked for my 60th celebrations and danced all night. Luke was very professional and easy to communicate with to agree all the finer details. They got set up for the gig with no fuss and played and then discreetly packed up & left. All my friends were full of praise & commented on the quality of the singing, the playlist was hit after hit. I would definitely recommend them for any party. My best party so far, thanks to The Maestro’s"

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore

What is a party band?
A party band is a live musical group specifically designed to entertain and energise audiences at social events and parties. Unlike traditional bands, their repertoire focuses on upbeat, danceable music spanning various genres, ensuring a lively atmosphere. Party bands often perform popular hits, engaging the crowd with interactive performances to get your guests dancing and keep the dance floor packed. Their goal is to create a fun and celebratory ambience, making them a popular choice for weddings, corporate events, and christmas parties.
How much space does a party band need?
A minimum of 5 x 3 metres would be required for a six-piece band. Remember that a live party band will have to fit the PA, monitors, lighting, guitar amps, drums, and keyboards in addition to the people.
How long will the party band play for?
Generally, professional party bands perform two 1-hour sets or three 40-minute sets, with a 15- to 30-minute break in between. Your band will also require around one hour for setup and soundcheck.
How far in advance should I book a party band?
The best time to book is as soon as possible, especially if you have special musical requests, but Encore handles last-minute bookings all the time and can easily find a function band if you need one quickly.
Do I have to pay for my party band's travel?
Hiring a band for a party with Encore is easy since all fees (travel, VAT, and other expenses) are included in the quote. Besides the Basic Protection package (full refund in the unlikely event that a musician cancels), Encore Cover is the only additional add-on fee we offer. As well as your basic protection (full refund in the unlikely event of a musician cancellation), you'll get tailored replacement searches, out-of-hours support, and if the replacement act costs more than the original musician booked, we'll pay for it. As such, you can have complete peace of mind you will have the perfect entertainment for your event. We always recommend considering local bands first because fees will be lower the closer they are to your chosen venue.
Does my party band need insurance?
The venue might require that your band has PLI (Public Liability Insurance). Your PLI protects another person's or their property from damage during your event. All of Encore's party bands with PLI will have a badge on their profile, so it's easy to find and book them.
