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
Check the stage space
Bands need a performance area sized to the line-up, plus power. We send a simple tech sheet.
- 2
Know your sound limits
Some venues have noise limiters or curfews. Tell us and we will choose the right band.
- 3
Mix roaming and stage
Roaming musicians early and a band later gives the night a natural build.

Are your live bands and roaming musicians vetted and insured?
Yes. Every partner is vetted by our team before they are listed. They hold public liability insurance and certificates, carry out risk assessments, and any electrical equipment they bring is PAT tested. Venues often ask for these documents and we can supply them.
