Below are our three standard packages for party band hire which can be customised to your wishes and needs. You can choose to have a band for the evening party to have a live and interactive performance whilst you dance the night away, a relaxed jazz band during your meal, or live music throughout the entire day when required.
When you've chosen your artists and entertainment you can contact us via phone and email. We will check with the artists and providers if they are available and send over their quote including the travel costs and any other costs. When you are happy with all the details we will send over an invoice for the deposit and a booking contract with the terms and conditions. After the deposit has been received and the signed contract has been returned you have booked your artists and entertainment and everything is good to go.
When booking an artist or entertainment option we ask for a 35% deposit. The outstanding amount can be transferred up to one month before the event.
All payments would need to be made via bank transfer, no other payment methods are accepted.
We don't charge VAT on top of the prices.
Once the booking is confirmed we will send over the contact details of the chosen artists so you can get in touch with them directly to discuss your music preferences, timings and final details of the day.
It would be great and much appreciated if there could be unlimited soft drinks and a meal / evening buffet available for the artists so they have enough energy to perform.
Of course, depending on your budget and performance wishes, you can decide how many members of the band you'd like to book.
All of our artists will provide all the necessary equipment, such as a PA system when booking a live artist, or a full setup including a sound system, lighting and a DJ booth when booking one of our DJs.
Some of our artists are also able to provide additional PA systems when booking them for various parts of an event which they can set up in various locations of a venue so music can be played at all times when required.
The band usually have quite large repertoire lists you are able to choose your favourite songs from. If there are a couple of songs not on there which you really like to hear, you are able to request them if there is enough time for the band to learn the new song. In some cases there might be a small charge for this, depending on the amount of songs they need to learn.
The sooner the better of course. It's a good idea to book your artists at least one year to six months in advance, especially if you're getting married during peak wedding season (May - September).
When cancelling a booking within 24 hours after confirming the booking, you will get a full refund of the deposit minus 15% administration costs. If the cancellation takes place past the 24 hours after confirming the booking, the booking deposit will be non-refundable
When cancelling between 180 - 91 days before the event, 50% of the outstanding balance will be due.
When cancelling between 90-61 days before the event, 75% of the outstanding balance will be due.
When cancelling within 60 days before the event, 100% of the outstanding balance will be due.
When an artist cancels due to illness or other unforeseen circumstance we will help to find you the right replacement artist as soon as possible. If you are not happy with the replacement artist you will get a full refund.
For our DJs we usually ask for 1.5 hours setup time, which gives all of our DJs more than enough time to set everything up, tidy up and do a quick sound check.
When a live musician performs together with a DJ they usually arrive 1 hour - 30 minutes beforehand as they only need to plug in a microphone. When they perform as a solo artist they will arrive roughly an hour beforehand so they can set up their PA system and do a sound check.
Additional entertainment services will arrive between 1.5 - 1 hour beforehand depending on how much they need to set up.
All timings regarding setup and take down can be discussed directly with the artists and entertainment providers after the booking is confirmed.
All of our artists are able to travel all over the globe to perform at events.
Some of our artists are even able to provide equipment for events all over the UK and the western part of Europe (Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Northern Italy, Northern Spain, Germany, Switserland, Austria).
When the event will be beyond travel distance by car are artists can fly to the destination. However, when flying, equipment such as sound, lighting and DJ equipment would need to be arranged by the client (or venue).
Don't just believe us for what we say about our artists, but read about all the fabulous experiences previous clients had after their party band hire from our entertainment agency.
The Cat Wright Trio were absolutely amazing, and provided a highlight to a great summer evening. Cat has a voice and a half, and they are all great musicians. The communication with them was very smooth, and they are extremely organised. I would highly recommend them. Thanks Cat, for making a good night absolutely fantastic!
