Our experts have tracked down the most talented and reliable party bands in Suffolk so that you don’t have to.
We have acts in all styles, suitable for all budgets – and all of them are young enough to love what they do and experienced enough to know exactly what to play and when!
We have party bands for every occasion – from office parties for blue-chip companies, to end-of-year graduation balls.
If you’re planning a riotous wedding reception, how about choosing a Suffolk wedding band? They play upbeat, mainstream songs from all eras to keep the dancefloor full all night.
Our Suffolk cover bands offer much more than the classics everyone hates to love (think, Summer of ’69 or 9 to 5).
If you’d like something more original, how about hiring a jazz band or ceilidh band?
This page is dedicated to party bands, but Function Central is an entertainment agency in Suffolk providing musicians for hire throughout the day, not just at your evening reception.
For a wedding ceremony, you could hire one of our string quartets. For the perfect accompaniment to a cocktail party and drinks receptions, we have guitarists
and pianists.
Or for a summer garden party or outdoor event, our steel bands and Dixieland jazz bands in Suffolk are much in-demand!
All our party bands are talented and professional musicians
who are experienced enough to make your party memorable, and young and
enthusiastic enough to love what they do!
If you want a great party without breaking the bank, or you’re short on space, how about
choosing a singer with a backing track?
Swing singers are a great way of creating a sophisticated atmosphere at cocktail parties, while tribute singers are wonderful for theme nights.
Whether you’re looking for a lutenist for a lavish luncheon or a bouzouki player for a budget banquet, we have the right jazz band in Suffolk for you!
Our Suffolk bands all come fully equipped for your event – it’s just worth getting in touch if you think your event will exceed 250 guests, as extra equipment might then be necessary. You just need to make sure that the band has a power source to plug in to and a space to perform!
We recommend a flat and sheltered stage area of at least 3x3 meters for a 3-piece band – then add an extra metre squared per band member that you have booked.
A raised stage is preferable for maximum impact but our bands are flexible to all kinds of set ups!
Our price promise means that, if another agency offers you one of our
party bands in Suffolk at a lower price, or on better terms, we’ll
match their offer – and most of our Suffolk party bands even throw in a
free DJ service so that you can keep dancing between sets.
All our acts provide all their own equipment, so that all you have to worry about on the day is having a wonderful time.
Our Suffolk bands play across the county, in Ipswich, Lowestoft, Bury St Edmunds, Haverhill, Felixstowe, Sudbury, Newmarket, Stowmarket, Kesgrave, Beccles, Mildenhall, Woodbridge, Brandon, Hadleigh, Leiston, Trimley St Mary, Halesworth, Bungay and Needham Market.
They've graced some of the most stunning venues in the area too,
such as The Ivy House Country Hotel, Woodhall Manor, Yaxley Hall and the
West Wing at Ickworth.
Function Central have handpicked the very best covers bands Suffolk has to offer, so you don’t have to! Our bands are available throughout the UK and internationally.
