Event Bands in Essex
Find the perfect event band in Essex
A corporate audience wants a band that reads the room just as well as any wedding crowd. Colleagues and clients need a few familiar songs before they'll dance, and the band has to judge the moment the formal part of the night ends. Across Essex, event bands are booked for Christmas parties, awards dinners, product launches and summer socials.
Whether your event is near Southend, Colchester and Brentwood or elsewhere in Essex, the bands listed here cover the whole area. Local venues include Baddow Park House, Maidens Barn and Blake Hall. It's worth confirming load-in times and any sound limiter with the venue early, as both affect the band's set-up.
Not every event band does the same job. Some are known for a big, polished show with brass and several singers, others for a relaxed party set that suits a smaller team night. Knowing the size and tone of your event makes the choice much easier.
Since 1999, Hireaband has supplied live bands for company events of every size. The bands listed here all travel to Essex, bring their own PA and stage lighting, and include travel in the price. The instant quote button shows pricing and availability for your date in seconds.

Most event bands play two sets of around 45 minutes to an hour, usually after dinner and any awards. If you'd like music earlier, many can add a background set during the drinks reception. Share your running order when you enquire and we'll build the quote around it.
Most corporate bookings fall between £1,500 and £3,200. The number of musicians is the biggest factor, followed by the date: December dates for Christmas parties book up fastest and are priced accordingly, while a quieter month can cost less. PA, lighting and travel are included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.
Every band's page has video and audio of the performers who would actually play at your event, a full song list and written reviews from people who have booked them. It's the easiest way to judge the style and the atmosphere before you commit.
Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.
