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.

Where it works best

  • Summer parties

    Live music on a lawn or terrace.

  • Drinks receptions

    Roaming acoustic trios.

  • Weddings

    A band to fill the dance floor.

  • Bavarian and après-ski themes

    An oompah band in full costume.

  • Christmas parties

    Live hits and brass carols.

  • Entrances

    A marching band leading guests in.
