What are live bands and orchestras?

Live bands and orchestras bring professional musicians to your corporate event. You can book intimate jazz trios, acoustic duos, full symphony orchestras, or high-energy party bands. Each act is matched to your event format, venue acoustics, and the people in the room. Corporate event organisers book live music for product launches, annual galas, client appreciation dinners, awards ceremonies, conference afterparties, and team celebrations. A typical setup includes background music during reception and dinner, then upbeat sets that get guests moving later in the evening. Most packages include performance time, usually 2-4 hours with breaks, sound equipment suited to your venue, setup and strike time, a set list shaped around your brief, and musician travel within a defined radius. Many acts offer add-ons like extra sets, DJ services between live performances, or learning specific songs you request.

What does live band hire cost?

Live band hire costs vary by ensemble size, experience, and what your event needs. A solo pianist or acoustic duo typically runs €800 to €2,000 per event. A four-piece function band costs €2,500 to €6,000. Specialist acts like jazz ensembles, string quartets, or brass sections fall between €1,800 and €4,500. Full orchestras or premium party bands with broad repertoires can go from €8,000 to €20,000 or more. Pricing depends on the number of musicians, performance duration, technical requirements, travel distance, event date, and customisation like learning your company anthem or specific repertoire. Multi-day conferences with recurring performances, or events requiring rehearsal time, will also affect total cost. Naboo consolidates your live music booking with other event services into a single invoice. Budget tracking stays simple, and payment reconciliation does too. Our European network gets you competitive proposals within 24 hours, with transparent pricing and no hidden fees.
