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
Expert Tips for Hiring a Live Party Band
Hiring a party band can take your celebration to the next level, but a bit of planning helps it all run smoothly. Here are key things to know:
- Book Early: Great party bands book up 12-18 months in advance, especially for summer and peak seasons. Get in early to secure your top choice.
- Check Videos & Reviews: Don’t rely on polished promos alone. Watch clips from real gigs and read recent reviews to get a feel for the band’s energy and reliability.
- Think About the Crowd: Choose a band with a varied setlist that appeals across ages—Motown, pop, rock, dance, and more. It keeps the dance floor full all night.
- Size Matters: Match the band to your space and budget. Big bands bring impact but need room. Small lineups work well in tighter or more relaxed venues.
- Sort the Details: Confirm what’s included—sound, lighting, insurance, setup. Get everything in writing to avoid last-minute surprises.
With the right prep, your live band will be the highlight of the night.

FAQs About Hiring A Luxury Party Band
What kind of music do your party bands play?
We play feel-good party music that spans decades and genres: from pop and rock to funk, Motown, soul, indie, and modern hits. Whether it’s a 60th birthday or a 21st, we’ve got a setlist that keeps every generation dancing. Have a few favorites you want added? No problem.
How do I hire a band for a birthday party?
Simple. Just fill out our enquiry form or get in touch with your date, venue and setup preferences. We’ll confirm availability, provide a clear quote, and take a deposit to lock it in. From there, we stay hands-on: liaising with your venue, planning the set, and showing up early to set the mood right.
Do we need to provide any sound equipment?
When you hire our party band for events in London or across Great Britain, we bring all the sound equipment: the PA system, instruments, mics, DJ Booth (if booking DJ Live Package) as well as our famous LED podiums. All other equipment including lighting and staging is not included, however, we can recommend suppliers of this.
We will also need power and a crew room. We handle the setup for sound, soundcheck, and pack-down of all sound equipment. (For events abroad, the client needs to provide all equipment, including sound equipment, and we then coordinate with your local supplier. We have lots of contacts in Ireland, and in other countries that we can put you in touch with, something we can talk through with you.)
How far in advance should I book a party band?
We recommend booking your live party band 9-18 months in advance, especially if your event falls on a weekend or during peak seasons. The best party bands tend to book up early, so locking in your date as soon as your venue is confirmed is a smart move.
