On average, it costs $1000-$1500 to book a party band for 3-4 hours. The price will vary depending on the exact length of the performance, the type of event, the number of band members, and their overall performance experience. Party bands with multiple instruments and singers will charge more so each band member gets an adequate cut. When researching pricing details, keep in mind that travel costs may also be added to the total.
Many party bands come fully equipped with speakers, amps, mixers, mics, and stands along with their instruments and gig kit. If the sound system and stage lighting are provided by the venue, be sure to discuss these details with the musicians and include them in the booking agreement.
Bands will handle their own setup and tear down, but it’s your responsibility to ensure they have adequate time and space to do so. Discuss the venue parameters with them in advance, including loading entrances and electricity sources. Ask the party band how long their setup usually takes, and then figure out the optimal time for them to arrive so that they are completely set up and have time for a quick soundcheck prior to your guests’ arrival.
Party bands generally play upbeat and fast-paced music. This might include both oldies and modern hits. Some party or cover bands might specialize in a specific genre like Motown or Disco or in an era like the 80s or 90s. Browse profiles and inquire about the band’s setlist to make sure you find the party band that best matches what you want for your event.
Party bands are perfect for, you guessed it – parties! Or really, any type of event that needs live music where you want to encourage guests to get on the dance floor. Wedding bands are one of the most popular types of party bands, which makes them a popular choice for wedding receptions.
Their extensive setlists also make them great for proms and festivals, and their high-energy performances can liven up Christmas corporate parties, birthday celebrations, and any other special event. For a more mellow corporate event or cocktail hour, you could also consider a more specialized group like a jazz band or swing band.

Party bands are a great option for corporate entertainment, birthday parties, wedding entertainment, and more.
