Having a party? There are bands for hire in any part of the country. Find bands for hire and they'll come to your function and provide the entertainment.

A DJ with CD's or recordings is certainly entertaining if you hire the right one. A band playing the music live, though, is the way to go. Weddings and Bar Mitzvahs, to mention a few, are places where the live music is a big part of the fun. The emcee, which may be part of the band, will make comments and help guide the festivities.

The band sets the tone of the action at any event. When the guests seem to be winding down, but there's still more food to be eaten and a few more hours left at the rented hall, a live band can pump up the volume and play some fun songs to get the ball rolling again. If the crowd seems to be enjoying themselves a bit too much, the band can tone down the mood by playing a set of slower, more romantic slow dance tunes.

Musicians of all different abilities are available. The better and more professional bands are usually more expensive. You can hire a band with a bit less ability but with a good show for less money. This will depend on the budget you have set for your entertainment.

Weddings are the most common gigs for most live bands. There are other events that would do well to hire a band, though. Bar Mitzvahs and Bat Mitzvahs need a band. Class reunions are a fun time for all when there is a live band to dance to.

When a traditional ceremony is held, there are certain songs that are traditional and the guests may expect them. If it's a wedding and those you know like the sillier songs once the party gets going, be sure the band you hire can play the Chicken Dance. Greek weddings have specific tunes that are played with the participants doing a traditional group dance together. The advice here is to be sure the band you hire can play the kinds of music you'll need to make your guests happy.

Book the more popular bands in plenty of advance time. Their schedules fill up fast, some as much as a year in advance or more. If you simply must have that band, you can consider being flexible with the date of your event in order to accommodate the band's schedule. Where the date isn't movable, go with a lesser known, but still professional band.

The band you just have to have isn't available, but your hall is booked and the date is set. Try hiring a newly formed band that may be great, but just doesn't have the exposure and advertising yet. You can look at it as though you have started something. This band will be something fresh and different than what everyone else has at their parties.

Search the internet and phone books for booking agencies or book the band direct. By booking direct you can save the agency commission, but by using an agency you'll get help in choosing from many bands for hire and they can help you to choose the right one for your special day.
