Testimonial

We have nothing but praise for The Block Party Experience!! The most complimented part of our wedding was by far the band, and guests of all ages had so much fun on the dance floor all night long! Their energy, dance moves, outfits, and overall performance was a blast. Finding a good band was my husband and I's most important priority when planning our wedding, and we made the right choice with BPX!!

The Block Party Experience

The band was TERRIFIC!! We enjoyed every second of them. Truly, one of the best bands we've ever heard at a wedding. I had people ask who the band is. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!!!

I have been to a lot of weddings and this was the BEST band I have ever heard! The songs reached all age groups with popular song choices. As a matter of fact I told myself (because my feet were killing me) that I was going to sit down when a song came on that I didn't recognize and needless to say I never sat down the whole evening!

We had the BEST time last weekend, and The Block Party Experience was a HUGE part of that!! We absolutely LOVED them and their performance!! The energy was high, the set list was perfect, and the choreography was amazing! We had a BLAST and so did our guests! We received so many compliments about the band and how awesome they were, I truly can't speak more highly of them!

Thank you so much, we couldn't have asked for a better night. As for the band it was everything we could have wanted. We've had several people tell us you guys were the best band they've seen at a wedding and I totally agree with them.

The band was absolutely AMAZING!!! The band was exactly what we envisioned. High energy from the beginning and throughout the evening. We have had so many guests ask who the band was and to send them their information. More importantly it was everything and more that Allison wanted! I am sad it is over, it was honestly the best!

We had THE BEST time at our wedding and one of the biggest reasons for that would be the band. So many of our guests commented on how amazing they were. Once they started they played nonstop and kept the party going. They were fun, full of energy and even let John join them for a song. All in all they were wonderful to work with and we would hire them again in a heartbeat.

FAQs

Find answers to your questions about our bands and booking process right here.

How much does it cost to book a band?

We offer bands for nearly every budget, from local jazz combos starting at $750 to top party bands at $10,000+. Most dance bands for weddings or events range between $2500 and $7500.

Does a band provide all their instruments and sound equipment?

Bands bring instruments and sound equipment for most weddings and events, covering up to several hundred guests. For larger events, additional sound support can be arranged for a fee or through a vendor you provide.

Does the band provide lighting?

Most bands provide basic lighting for their performance area, but this isn’t decor lighting for the whole space. Light stands typically feature a few white or colored LED or par cans. Some bands can adjust lighting to fit the event, or they can skip it if you’re working with a separate lighting vendor. Note: smaller bands, like acoustic or jazz groups, usually don’t bring lighting.

How long can I expect the band to play?

Special event bands charge a single fee for up to a 4-hour block, including breaks. They’ll play a preset playlist during breaks, scheduled around natural pauses like speeches or cake cutting. For a 4-hour event, bands need at least 45 minutes of break time, usually split into two 20-25 minute breaks. Some bands offer a three-hour no-break option and can add overtime for an extra fee.

How far in advance should I book a band?

Spring and fall Saturday events often book a year or more in advance, with popular dates typically securing bands 8-15 months ahead. Non-Saturday events book closer to the date, and we often help clients with shorter timelines (2-6 months) find great bands. Booking early increases your options for in-demand bands, so reach out soon!
