    Highly recommended, they went above and beyond

    I recently made a booking for a live band through Party Central and was thoroughly impressed by their service. The booking process was straightforward, and their team was incredibly supportive, responding quickly to all my questions. They really went above and beyond to ensure our booing was a success. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to book entertainment for an event.

    Booking a photographer for our work's…

    Booking a photographer for our work's annual conference through Party Central's website was a breeze! The interface was user-friendly, and within minutes, we found the perfect photographer for our event. Communication was first-class; they promptly addressed all our inquiries and ensured everything was in order. The photographer they provided exceeded our expectations, capturing every moment flawlessly. Their professionalism and timeliness were commendable, making the entire process stress-free. The photographs were of exceptional quality and perfectly captured the essence of our conference. Overall, Party Central provided an excellent service, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of event photography. Thank you, Party Central, for helping make our conference a success!

What live music options can we book?

Function bands play the hits your guests know, usually in two or three sets, and keep the dance floor full. Roaming musicians, such as acoustic trios, strolling strings or a small jazz group, move through the room during drinks and dinner without needing a stage.

Brass and marching bands make a big entrance or lead guests to dinner, oompah bands suit Bavarian and après-ski themes, and brass carol groups suit Christmas. Most bands can mix live sets with a playlist or DJ between sets.

Where it works best

  • Weddings

    A band to fill the dance floor.

  • Christmas parties

    Live hits and brass carols.

  • Drinks receptions

    Roaming acoustic trios.

  • Entrances

    A marching band leading guests in.

  • Bavarian and après-ski themes

    An oompah band in full costume.

  • Summer parties

    Live music on a lawn or terrace.

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Check the stage space

    Bands need a performance area sized to the line-up, plus power. We send a simple tech sheet.

  2. 2

    Know your sound limits

    Some venues have noise limiters or curfews. Tell us and we will choose the right band.

  3. 3

    Mix roaming and stage

    Roaming musicians early and a band later gives the night a natural build.
