Corporate event Function Bands for hire in Bedford
Latest reviews of our Corporate Event Function Bands in Bedford
"We booked With The Band for our pre wedding ceremony drinks and our wedding drinks reception - in short, they were amazing, not just with on the day delivery, but with all their help in the leadup too. We spoke to Adam before booking, told him exactly what we wanted and he helped guide us, with the best timings and songs to crate the vibe we wanted. We were sent a set list and told if there was anything we didn’t want we could make changes, nothing was too much hassle. They took our specific song requests for certain moments of our day and helped make those parts of the day as magical as we wanted them to be. Ben & Kerry were our team on the day and they were amazing - everything we wanted and more. We have had so many compliments on the amazing vibe they created. We cannot thank or recommend With The Band enough! Thank you to everyone! "

Michael hired HEAD for a Birthday party (available in Bedford)
"We booked Twist of Rock for our event and couldn’t have been happier with them. Communication throughout was excellent, and they were incredibly easy to deal with from start to finish. They were complete professionals, looked fantastic, and sounded even better! The whole band were genuinely lovely people and a pleasure to work with. They brought great energy to the event and were a real highlight of the day. We would highly recommend Twist of Rock and would happily book them again."

FAQs about hiring Corporate Event Function bands in Bedford
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
What kind of performance should I expect from a function band?
Good question! There are essentially three types of function band performances: headline, background, and roaming. Headline bands are the most common; perfect for filling the dancefloor and getting the crowd moving. Background function bands are usually jazz bands - they can provide a great ambience for whatever event you might have in mind. Roaming bands are great for outdoor weddings or events where you want the band to get around to all the guests and provide a bit of audience interaction. Roaming bands are only possible as an acoustic act, so they come cord-free!
Will function bands take song requests?
Yes - but always best to ask well in advance! Most bands will be very accomodating if you've asked them to play a few special requests. Function bands are also usually very experienced, so requests on the night aren't out-of-the-question either (just don't be upset if they aren't keen to play all 23 minutes of Echoes by Pink Floyd!).
Will the function band provide all their own equipment?
Yes - most function bands will be fully equipped with their own PA system, music gear, and usually even lighting! Many will also provide a sound assistant, as well as a DJ service. A DJ service will keep the music going while the band take short breaks, but is also perfect add-on if you and your guests want to boogie into the far-reaches of the night!
