Garden Party

Excellent all round, Garden Party are a great band and very professional. They gauged the party perfectly and were great fun, a pleasure to have and listen too. Thank you for making our event go so well.

Garden Party

Dear Garden Party band

I am sorry this email is a little late we did a couple of days of clearing up and dismantling and then went to Lisbon for Easter and I am now catching up.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for doing such a great job at Rob’s 60th birthday, you really made a huge difference to the fun of the day, and everyone hugely enjoyed listening to you and dancing away. The good weather meant that everyone was able to be more in the garden chatting away for your first set rather than under cover of the tent I hope you didn’t feel to separated but everyone hugely enjoyed the music and then obviously were in front of you for the rest of it and enjoying themselves, thank you for having a couple of friends join in with you too.

What a fantastic band you are, thank you for an excellent performance, we loved it.

I hope you enjoyed yourselves and felt looked after too.

Best wishes for a good summer.

We have had Garden Party perform at a number of family gatherings over the years and they consistently deliver to a superb level. They are exceptional performers, play great songs and really know how to get the crowd going. Separately, I found them easy to communicate with, polite, and were able to get set up in less than 45 mins which was really appreciated on the night! Libbi and the team at Hireaband were easy to work with throughout the entire booking process.

Garden Party

We hired Garden Party through Hireaband for our wedding in October and I couldn't recommend them more highly. Irving was quick to respond throughout the process and having been let down by one band, he presented us with several options to consider as an alternative and ensured all the details were confirmed. Our venue had a very tight window in terms of set up time, but all of that was accounted for and accommodated seamlessly.

On the day itself Garden Party were brilliant, keeping the dancefloor full and reading the crowd in terms of performance times and song choices. So many of our guests commented on how much fun they brought to the wedding, and two guests have already asked for their details for their own wedding / event!

Garden Party

Garden Party were utterly fantastic. The band members are brilliant, the songs perfect and the performance was out of this world! Can’t wait to have them back!

Garden Party

Garden Party were amazing…. They played the selection we requested and really got the guests going, including coming on to the dance floor while singing etc. our guest all said how amazing they were. Super happy!

Garden Party

The band were absolutely fantastic. Everyone raved about them. They were great performers - engaged with the crowd and had fun surprise elements to add to the show.

Hi Adam,

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you and all the band at Garden Party for an amazing evening of entertainment for our New York party, everyone had an absolute ball as I hope you could tell. Please pass on our thanks to everyone,

Audrey & Nick

Garden Party

Irving was really helpful In organising everything with our band which is always helpful when trying to coordinate a wedding! The band were perfect so really happy. Thank you

Garden Party

You lot are flipping amazing! I can’t thank you enough for generally being brilliant at what you do, and helping us to have a fantastic wedding. So many people have been in touch to say what a great day it was and you guys feature in all of those conversations.

Thanks again and may you all achieve great fortune and recognition for what you do. You quite literally, fully rock!!!!

Garden Party

Garden Party were amazing musicians, the dance floor was filled all night. I have never been to a wedding where almost all the guests were up and dancing! Thanks for making the evening such fun

Garden Party

This is the second time we have booked Garden Party; this time for a 50th birthday party rather than a 21st birthday. Both events were a great success and everybody really enjoyed their performance. Furthermore, the dance floor was full at all times.

Garden Party

Fantastic Band - thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. The only thing that would have topped the night is if they could have played longer but they were in high demand and off to another party.

Thanks to Adam and the rest of Garden Party for a brilliant evening.

Garden Party

I just wished to say thank you so much for everything on Sunday.
You were truly fantastic and everyone said that you were amazing.
I really appreciated all your work you did, especially as the isle of wight is not the easiest place for you to get to.

Garden Party

Hi Dan

It was a totally amazing evening – absolutely everybody thought you were just fantastic!!!

Comments like best party band, best party were flowing thick and fast at breakfast.

For all of us it was a really super event and I hope you all enjoyed the evening as much as we did.

We really appreciated your effort to get here from the mainland given the difficult journey home.

All the best

Garden Party

Just a quick note to say how amazing we all thought you were on Saturday night. A joy to work with and we will be booking again next year. Seems there is a request for the guitarist to join in the dancing next year from some of the girls in the office! I don't get it myself.

Garden Party

I just wanted to send a quick email to thank you all for playing at our wedding. We are all so amazed by the band and our friends have not stopped talking about you all. Our first dance was brilliant and we have been watching it on the wedding video constantly.

Garden Party

My wife and I would like to thank you for providing such a great service at our wedding. We have had so much praise for the band. We wish you all the best in the future.

Garden Party

Wow! Garden Party were absolutely fabulous. They were, quite literally, the life and soul of the party. They arrived bang on time, were polite and helpful, and were very accomplished musicians. So accomplished, in fact, that one of the organisers mistook their warm-up track for a CD recording!

Since the ball finished, I've had nothing but compliments about the band. Everyone loved them, and they really did make the evening.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! We'll be booking them again!

FAQs

How far in advance should we book?

As soon as you know your date, really. Popular dates (weekends, especially in summer) can book up 12+ months ahead, but we've also pulled off cracking gigs with just a few weeks' notice if we're free. The earlier you lock it in, the more choice you'll have.

How much do you charge?

You can use the instant quote button on this page to get a price straight away — your fee will appear on screen, and you'll also get a follow-up email confirming it. If we're available and you're happy with the price, get back in touch with the Hireaband team to secure the date. It's very much first come, first served, so if we're available, don't hesitate.

What's your payment and cancellation policy?

Hireaband will ask for a reservation fee to secure your date, with the remaining balance due before the event (your booking confirmation will have exact dates and amounts). If you need to cancel or postpone, get in touch as early as possible — the closer to the date, the harder it is for Hireaband to fill the slot, so the cancellation terms reflect that. Full details are in your booking agreement, but the Hireaband team are always happy to talk through the specifics.

What if any timings change after booking you?

No problem at all. We know that timings and details aren't always set in stone at the booking stage, and plans have a habit of evolving as your big day gets closer. We're happy to be flexible around changes to your schedule, and if you decide further down the line that you'd like to add on any extra services, just get in touch with the Hireaband team and they'll sort it out for you.

What should we expect if we've never booked a live band before?

Totally understandable if this all feels a bit new! Booking a band is a big part of your day, so we're here to make it as straightforward as possible. We've performed at countless weddings and events, and the Hireaband team will guide you through every step, from your initial enquiry right through to the big day itself. If you're ever unsure about anything, just ask — that's what we're here for.

Can we see you perform live before booking?

We don't always have public gigs to invite you to (weddings tend to be private!), but we're always happy to jump on a call and talk you through what to expect. A public performance will often be posted on this page too, so it's worth checking back — and if we do have one coming up, we'll gladly send details your way.

How much contact will we have with the band before the wedding?

Hireaband will put you in direct touch with us around 3 months before your date, so you can go through all the finer details together — song choices, timings, any special requests and so on. In the meantime, the Hireaband team are always on hand to answer any questions you have, so you're never left waiting.

How many songs will the band learn especially for me?

We're happy to learn your first dance or a special request. Other songs depend on the time frame given and what the songs are. We're always keen to learn new things, so do let us know and we'll try to accommodate as best we can for you.

Can we choose our own setlist?

Yes, within reason. We have a core set of crowd-pleasers that we know works brilliantly, and we're experts at reading a room and picking the right songs on the night to keep everyone dancing. We're also always happy to tweak the setlist based on your taste — send us a few "must plays" and a few "please avoids" and we'll build the night around them. Just bear in mind that learning brand new songs from scratch (aside from your first dance) depends on notice — see above!

Will you be able to do my first dance?

Given enough notice, yes. It takes a while for us to rehearse a song to the high standards that we set ourselves. If you can give us at least 8 weeks' notice, that should be fine. The song also has to be suitable for a band. If we can't do it justice, then we can put it on an iPod and go seamlessly into our set at the end of it.

How much space does the band need?

This will vary depending on the size of the band and the setup on the night, but we've performed at a huge variety of venues and can comfortably fit into most spaces that have hosted a live band before. If your venue has anything a little unusual about it, we can usually find a way to make it work, so just get in touch if you're not sure and we'll be happy to advise.

What line-up options do you offer?

Our default line-up is a 7-piece with male and female vocals, keys, sax, guitar, bass and drums, scaling up to a full 12-piece with added trumpet, trombone, extra vocals and percussion. Smaller line-ups are also available if your venue or budget calls for something more compact.

What kind of performing experience do you have?

Our musicians have shared the stage with the likes of Adele, Leona Lewis, The Noisettes and Olly Murs, and have performed at venues including London's Roundhouse, The Viper Room on Sunset Blvd and the Bowery Ballroom in New York. That professional pedigree comes through in a huge 288-song repertoire covering 60s classics through to current pop hits.

How long do you take to set up?

We ask for around an hour to set up and check everything is working, but if it needs to be shorter, just let us know and we'll always accommodate as best we can.

How far will you travel?

We regularly perform all over the country, so distance really is no object, but we will require an additional fee for travel and may need bed and breakfast arranged for us. Any price you receive already includes travel costs, so there won't be any surprise extras on top.

Will we need to feed you?

It depends on timings, but generally some hot food would be hugely appreciated. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Normally a catering company will provide a 'crew meal' as part of their package, or we're happy to have evening food that's already available.

What do you wear?

We tend to be 'smart casual' as in our pictures and video. However, we can be smarter or more casual depending on your event and requirements.

How long do you perform for?

As standard, we provide 2 x 1hr or 3 x 40 minute sets as required on the night, up until midnight. We can play past midnight, but it can incur an additional fee. We are flexible though and will always try to accommodate your requirements. We can also add an additional 1hr set for a small fee!

Do you take breaks, and what happens to the music then?

Yes, we'll take short breaks between sets to grab a drink and catch our breath! During these breaks we'll have background music playing through our own PA system, so there's never a dead moment on the dancefloor. Just let us know if you have a particular playlist or Spotify account you'd like us to use.

Will the band provide a DJ service?

Yes, as standard we provide a playlist DJ service whenever we're not performing — so between sets and after our last set, right up until midnight (or your curfew if earlier). These are tried-and-tested playlists that we've refined over countless events, but you're also welcome to send us your own playlist to play instead. If you'd like a bit more than that, we offer an upgrade to a manned DJ service, where a band member stays on hand throughout to look after the music and take requests on the night.

Can you arrive earlier and finish later?

Our standard on-site time runs from 6pm to midnight, but we're happy to be flexible around your schedule. Whether you need us there earlier for an afternoon slot or performing later into the night, just let us know your requirements and we'll do our best to accommodate — additional fees may apply for extended hours.

Do you offer any optional extras?

Yes! On top of our standard package, we can offer a range of optional extras for an additional fee — things like extra performance sets, a manned DJ service, acoustic sets for your ceremony or drinks reception, and more. Just let us know what you have in mind and we'll see what we can put together for your day.

Do you provide all your own equipment?

Yes, all we need is a clear area in which to set up and a power supply.

Are you insured and PAT tested?

Yes to both. We carry full public liability insurance, and all our equipment is PAT tested annually. Hireaband will send your venue any certification that's required.

Can you work with sound limiters?

Yes. We don't 'love' them, but we absolutely can work within them.

What happens if one of the band is ill on the day of my event?

We have a network of fellow musicians that we can call on to stand in on the rare occasion one of the band is ill. On top of that, Hireaband is the UK's biggest entertainment agency and has access to dozens of wedding bands in your area even at the very last minute. However, we've never missed a gig yet.
