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!

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.
