Event Bands in London

Live bands for corporate events in London

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 London, event bands are booked for Christmas parties, awards dinners, product launches and summer socials.

Across London, our event bands play hotel suites, conference centres and private venues in and around Westminster, Richmond and Kensington. Venues in the area include The Lensbury, Eltham Palace and Royal Lancaster London, and our bands are used to working with event managers and tight schedules.

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.

We've been booking bands for business events since 1999, and every band on this page covers London. PA, lighting and travel are built into the quote, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

What to know:

• Budget £1,500 to £3,200 for most line-ups
• Every quote includes the band's PA, stage lighting and travel
• Playlist music is provided between sets, so there's no silence
• Bands can fit around speeches, awards and dinner service
• Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Start with the room and the audience. A tight four-piece gives a full sound at a sensible price, while brass, keys or extra singers turn the night into more of a show. If the venue has a sound limiter or an early finish, a smaller line-up is often the better choice.

Expect to pay from around £1,500 for a smaller line-up up to £3,200 or more for a larger show band. Line-up size matters most, then the date and extras such as an early background set. Every quote includes PA, lighting and travel, so nothing is added later.

Each band's page carries real video, audio, a song list and reviews from previous clients. A couple of clips will tell you far more about how an act works a room than any description can, so it's worth watching two or three before you shortlist.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the event. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.
