THE SHOWBAND: A LIVE SHOW BAND FOR WEDDINGS & LUXURY EVENTS
Our ShowBand - A Live Performance Unlike Any Other
A ShowBand is more than a live band – it’s a fully produced experience featuring top international vocalists and performers. By blending exceptional musicianship, choreographed stagecraft and seamless production, we can create a show that feels truly immersive and one-of-a-kind.
Our ShowBand starts as a 9-piece comprising drums, bass, guitar, keyboard, trumpet, saxophonist and three vocalists. This is one of our most popular line-ups, but we have the capacity to go up to a 20-piece (with extra brass and strings being a common add-on). The end result is an ambitious musical extravaganza that will blow your guests away.

Booking our ShowBand for Your Next Event
Our ShowBand is designed to impress across a range of events, from luxury weddings to exclusive private events and high-end corporate galas. Each event is tailored to you, from set lists to stage design, ensuring a performance that feels personal, polished and unforgettable. Here’s some more details on what to expect:
- One 15-20 minute entrance set
- One 30-40 minute live dinner set
- Approximately 2 fantastic performances (depending on timings) with background music during intervals
Our ShowBand doesn’t include a DJ as standard, but there’s always the option to add one to keep the party going when our musicians aren’t on stage. Our DJ can also perform past midnight, which is our usual stop for live performances. In addition, our team will work with you to make recommendations based on sound limits and available venue space.

What Our Customers Say
Patsy Newman
Yet another "OUTSTANDING ENTERTAINMENT SHOW" from The Function Band for a monumental family birthday party. All our guests say it was the best party they have ever attended. Thank you again The Function Band, nobody does it better.
Ella Chadwick
Absolutely phenomenal from start to finish! Abbie was amazing throughout the planning process — so attentive, helpful and incredibly quick to respond to all our questions. Meeting her before the wedding to go through everything made us even more excited to see it all come to life. And then came the wedding day… WOW. From the moment they started playing, they had EVERYONE up dancing and most guests genuinely barely sat down for the rest of the night! They brought the most incredible energy and didn’t just perform for our guests, they performed with them. The wedding breakfast turned into the best party and we honestly didn’t want them to ever stop! They were so good that our guests are now questioning whether they can ever attend another wedding without the band… sorry to anyone else getting married! Absolutely incredible band, incredible people and one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough! We are still waiting for the rest of our photos to come through but here is a small snippet!
Nic Bradbury
We recently hired the Function Band for our wedding and they were outstanding from start to finish! From the initial inquiry and planning call prior to the event to the event itself; they were amazing to deal with and our guests loved every moment & so did we!! Cannot have imaged out wedding without them
Sarah Adams
If you want your wedding to feel like a party from start to finish, book The Function Band. From the moment our guests entered the room, the atmosphere was incredible. Their six-piece band, featuring three outstanding vocalists, a guitarist, saxophonist and DJ, worked seamlessly together to create an energy that never dropped. The interactive performances had everyone singing and dancing, and the dance floor was packed all night. They took the time before the wedding to understand exactly the kind of atmosphere Christie and Sean wanted, and they absolutely delivered. They read the room perfectly, kept the music flowing and created the most unforgettable celebration. Exceptionally talented, polished and professional from start to finish, The Function Band were an absolute pleasure to work with. Worth every penny.
Gemma Duffy
Absolutely phenomenal!! The band played at our Thrivechella party and they were next level. They raised the roof, got every single person on their feet, and kept the energy sky-high all night! Everyone's still raving about how incredible they were - the vocals, the vibe, the setlist...flawless! If you're looking to turn your event into an unforgettable party, book them NOW!!! Total game-changer! Thank you :-)
Frankie Hazle
We had the function band at our Wedding on 16th July 2026 at Botleys Mansion. They honestly made our day and are by far the best decision we made! Having seen them before, we knew it was going to be good but they exceeded all expectations! Wow! Worth every single penny and more! Everyone has said it’s the best band they have ever seen, your team are amazing at what they do. Thank you so much. Emily & Frankie x
Declan Higgins
The Function Band performed at our wedding and they were incredible! The energy and vibe was fantastic and they had our guests up dancing the whole time. They were very professional right from the start of the booking process and we would highly recommend for your event. They did not disappoint!
Sophie James
The best wedding band in all the land. Thank you just doesn’t feel like a big enough phrase for what you gave us on our wedding day. You didn’t just play at our wedding – you made our wedding. From the moment we first booked you to the moment you packed up at the end of the night, the whole experience was absolutely unbelievable. Every single interaction was so lovely, professional and genuinely exciting. We felt looked after every step of the way. I made no secret of the fact … I had been quietly (okay, not so quietly!) following the band and stalking all of your socials for about 10 years. 😂 The fact that I actually got to have you play at our wedding genuinely blew my mind. It felt surreal. Since the wedding we’ve been completely overwhelmed by the messages from our guests. So many people have said you’re the best wedding band they’ve ever seen, and reading all of their messages has honestly reduced us to tears. Our dream was to have a wedding that was overflowing with love and ridiculously high-energy vibes, and you absolutely delivered that and so much more. THANKYOU for EVERYTHING Marc & Sophie xx
Avi Myers
THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS! We've known for years that the Function Band were the only band we ever wanted at our wedding, and they were incredible. Having seen them at so many weddings, they always personalise the sets to make it all about us and every guest was commenting about how incredible they are. From the meetings beforehand to the performances on the day, we've loved every interaction with them. A huge thank you to all of the band members for making our special day so special!
Aimee Clark
We had the function band for our wedding and what an amazing day we had all thanks to them! From the minute they started performing to their last set of the night the dance floor was full! They made the wedding! The amount of people blown away by their entertainment and performance was amazing! We really hope to experience them again in the future at someone else’s wedding or event! Thanks again for creating a brilliant and fun day for us! Aimee & Tom
