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.
