A typical package for a Shropshire party band will include: 2 x 60 minute sets, arrival and set up from 5pm or 6pm (depending on the band), recorded music in their breaks and PLI and PAT certificates on request.
All our Shropshire bands for hire come equipped with their own PA sound system, microphones, amplifiers, and instruments. This set-up works perfectly for indoor and marquee venues.
If you’re planning an outdoor bash or inviting more than 250 guests let us know so that we can check the band’s system is large enough.
Most bands also provide lighting for the stage and dancefloor. If you have a specific band in mind, check out their individual profile for full details on what they can provide to enhance your celebrations.
Most Shropshire party bands can accommodate first dance song requests. If they think they can do it justice and arrange it within their line-up, they’ll be happy to learn and perform the song of your choice.
If that’s not possible, they can always play it through their PA system. Check each act’s profile to see what they can offer.
The rolling hills of Shropshire are not just home to a range of wildlife and outdoor pursuits – you’ll also find a wide range of stunning wedding and party venues.

At Function Central we pride ourselves on the variety of our acts. You’ll find every genre from mariachi bands to gospel choirs and steel bands for your Shropshire event on our roster.
If you have an evening reception band in mind, check if they can offer something suitable for the ceremony and/or drinks reception as well. Booking just one act for the day will save on travel costs.
If you’re yet to set your date, consider a weekday or low-season celebration. A Thursday in winter can cost less than a Saturday in July, for example. Selecting a less popular date often means you’ll save with your other suppliers too.
Always check the bands in your local area as this will save on travel and accommodation costs.
