Professional 3 and 4-piece Christmas party bands start at around £1250-£1500. At this level, you can be confident the band is made up of quality musicians with the requisite skill set, equipment and production to entertain at a premium Christmas event. It's important to note that this is a starting price and lots of UK party bands are going to cost more than this - fees will increase depending on quality, experience, demand and how many musicians there are in the band.
As standard, a Tailored Entertainment Christmas party band booking includes...
You also get our 5-star Tailored Entertainment customer service. From your first enquiry right through to the event itself, you'll have a dedicated booking agent on hand to answer any questions or arrange any last-minute changes. This kind of peace of mind can make all the difference in the lead-up to your party!
Lots of our bands also offer 'optional extras' for an additional fee. These include services such as roaming sets for welcome drinks, live DJ sets, early load-in and late finishes. You'll find all these options listed in the band's profile.
If you'd like them to, then absolutely! When you start your search, you’ll see that many of our bands have a specific list of Christmas party tunes that they’d be more than happy to include in the set. Every one of our party bands also offers to learn one special request, so you can add in your favourite if it’s not on the band’s repertoire.
The guide prices on our website show the cost of hiring the band to provide their standard Christmas party entertainment package at a local venue (within 30 miles of their base location). The price will increase if the band need to travel outside of their local area, as well as if you’d like to add additional services such as welcome drinks sets, a live DJ set for when they’re not performing, or if you need the band to arrive earlier or stay later than their standard booking times.
For more information on this, give our team a call on 0800 564 2240. We’d be happy to answer any questions you might have.
The timing has to be right for you, but we’d recommend booking your party band as early as possible. We represent some of the most in-demand party bands in the UK and Christmas dates will often book up early in the year with repeat clients from the Christmas just gone. Short notice bookings are always possible and welcome though - we're very used to working on a tight schedule at Christmas and will be booking new dates late November and in to December.
All of the bands on the Tailored Entertainment roster invite you to choose your favourites from their repertoire so they can incorporate these into their tried and tested set list. We don’t recommend trying to write the whole set list for your band as experienced acts have refined what they do to deliver the best party experience for you and your guests.
Our party bands also offer to learn one special song request as standard - if you have a party theme, it can work well having the band perform an opening song to with with that.
Absolutely! You can put together a song list or a Spotify playlist and pass this across to the band ahead of the day, we recommend selecting a maximum of 30-40 songs as there won’t be time to play more than that. Many of our Christmas party bands also offer a live DJ add-on, so you'll have a DJ on hand to select and mix tracks live, as well as take requests.
Tailored Entertainment party bands cover all the most popular music styles and eras. We have soul & Motown showbands for big, glitzy events, Gatsby-style bands that are perfect for a 20s theme or black tie dinner, indie-rock bands for a festival bash and 90s cover bands for some proper nostalgia! For those looking for something a bit different from their party band, we’ve also got incredible dance anthem bands, 80s, pop punk, brilliant RnB bands and much more besides!
Absolutely! Most bands on the Tailored Entertainment roster offer a lounge or roaming set add-on to their standard booking. You’ll find these listed under ‘optional extras’ on the band’s profile.
Alternatively, you could book one of our dedicated drinks reception entertainment options like a saxophonist, singer/guitarist, vocal harmony group or string quartet.
Yes, Tailored Entertainment party bands operate on a standard 5pm earliest arrival and midnight latest finish. For an additional fee, all our acts are willing to arrive earlier or stay a bit later to suit your event’s schedule.
The short answer is yes, you absolutely can book a great band if your venue has a noise limiter. Most of our professional party bands are able to perform within the restrictions of a sound limiter and your experience will be the same as at a venue without one. We have a few bands - mainly the club anthems style, whose music may not be suitable depending on the individual venue restrictions. Please contact us to chat further if your venue has a sound limiter as we'll likely have experience of working at your chosen venue.
