Event Bands in Hertfordshire

Find the perfect event band in Hertfordshire

Live music lifts a company event in a way a playlist can't. It gives the evening a focal point once the speeches and awards are done, and it gets people talking and dancing together. Event bands covering Hertfordshire play soul, pop, rock and party classics to suit a mixed-age audience.

Popular event venues in Hertfordshire include Micklefield Hall, The Old Palace at Hatfield House and Tewinbury, and our bands play corporate events across Watford, St Albans and Harpenden. Tell us your venue and running order when you enquire and we'll suggest acts that suit both.

Within this category you'll find party bands, soul and Motown groups, swing bands and larger show bands with brass. Their song lists show exactly what each one covers, and most will add a company favourite or two if you ask ahead of the day.

Since 1999, Hireaband has supplied live bands for company events of every size. The bands listed here all travel to Hertfordshire, 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.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £1,500 to £3,200, depending on line-up, date and season
  • Always included: PA system, stage lighting and travel costs, in every quote
  • Line-ups from three-piece to eight-piece, with playlist music between sets
  • Corporate dates are often booked well ahead, especially for the festive season
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Room size and the shape of the evening both matter. A four or five-piece suits most hotel function suites, giving enough sound to fill a dance floor once the formal part of the night is over. A larger ballroom or conference venue carries a six to eight-piece easily, with brass or an extra vocalist adding weight.

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.

Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day if anything needs sorting quickly.

FAQs

Nothing in the band itself, again — the same acts play corporate events, private parties and weddings; what changes is the brief (timings, dress code, sometimes a shorter or later set).

Yes, many event bookings ask for exactly this — quieter music through a meal or awards, then a full live set once the formal part ends.

Yes, this is the most common setting for a corporate booking in the region, alongside dedicated event spaces.

Yes, a six to eight-piece line-up with its own PA is built for exactly this kind of room.

Typically £1,500 to £3,200, with December dates for the Christmas party season at the higher end.

As early as possible for December dates specifically, since demand is highest then.

Reviews

“Carlyle were absolutely fantastic, I've had such great feedback from colleagues on the band's performance at our 10 Year Anniversary party and people asking where we found them. Although a lot of our group were slow to get on the dancefloor, the songs and atmosphere created by the band soon got them going and everyone was up later in the evening. Loved the setlist, not a bad song all night!”

I know it was a long haul with 3 full day?s performances to deliver, plus the evening show at the jam house for the sponsors, but as always you and the boys delivered.and EdinburghJust a note to thank you and the band for another excellent show at Ruby's Summer Ball, we raised over”

“Hi Debbie, I should have emailed sooner but have been very busy, to say how much we all enjoyed your band's performance at the ball. Many club members have said what a wonderful band and that you really made the ball one of the best ever. We would love you to play again next year and will be in touch with the date soon.”

“Kasbah performed 2 sets for my works Christmas party. Their flexibility and time keeping were extremely good and the performances were well received by my colleagues. I'd highly recommend them to anyone in the future. Hire a Band made the whole process extremely easy and stress free. Thank you.”
