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 aprรจs-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.

  • Bavarian and aprรจs-ski themes

    An oompah band in full costume.

  • Weddings

    A band to fill the dance floor.

  • Entrances

    A marching band leading guests in.

  • Drinks receptions

    Roaming acoustic trios.

  • Christmas parties

    Live hits and brass carols.

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Know your sound limits

    Some venues have noise limiters or curfews. Tell us and we will choose the right band.

  2. 2

    Mix roaming and stage

    Roaming musicians early and a band later gives the night a natural build.

  3. 3

    Check the stage space

    Bands need a performance area sized to the line-up, plus power. We send a simple tech sheet.
