Party DJ Hire That Gets Everyone Dancing
Brilliant music, a great atmosphere and a soundtrack built around
your celebration. Looking for a professional party DJ instead of
a live band? We can help you put together a night to remember.
A Great Party Doesn’t Have to Include a Live Band
Sometimes a DJ is exactly what your event needs. You get access
to music from across the decades, the freedom to move between
genres and a soundtrack that can change with the mood of the
room. From classic floor-fillers and indie anthems to modern
pop, dance tracks and those irresistible singalongs, the right
music makes all the difference.
At Funk City Band, live music is what we’re
best known for, but we understand that every event is different.
If you’d rather book a DJ on their own, we can discuss an option
that suits your plans, your venue and your guests.
Whether you’re organising a wedding reception, a big birthday,
an awards evening or a company celebration, we want the music
to feel personal rather than like a generic playlist.
Why Choose a Party DJ?
Music for Every Generation
Move between decades, genres and styles to suit the crowd,
from classic party favourites to today’s biggest hits.
Your Music, Your Way
Tell us your favourite artists, must-play songs and anything
you’d prefer not to hear. Your event should sound like you.
A Professional Setup
Discuss sound, lighting and space requirements in advance
so the setup is appropriate for your venue and guest numbers.
Flexible Party Atmosphere
Start with relaxed background music and build towards
a lively dance floor as the evening gets going.
Requests Welcome
Guests can help shape the soundtrack, with requests managed
to keep the music appropriate for your event.
One Less Thing to Worry About
Discuss the timings, music preferences and practical details
with us before the event, leaving you free to enjoy the party.
Party DJ Hire for Weddings
Your wedding reception should feel like a celebration of the
two of you. A DJ gives you the flexibility to include songs
that mean something to you, alongside the big crowd-pleasers
that get friends and family onto the dance floor.
You might want indie classics, 80s pop, 90s dance, modern chart
hits or a mixture of everything. Share your ideas before the
big day and we can discuss how to shape the music around your
plans and the atmosphere you want.
If you’re still deciding between a DJ and live entertainment,
take a look at our 3-piece band,
4-piece band and
7-piece band options too.
You can also explore our
videos and media to see the
live-band atmosphere we create at real events.
Corporate Events, Office Parties and Birthdays
A good DJ can transform a room once the formalities are over.
For a corporate event, that might mean moving from easy-going
background music into a lively evening party. For a birthday or
anniversary, it could mean filling the playlist with favourite
songs from a particular decade, memorable dance tracks and
all-time party anthems.
We understand that different events call for different approaches.
Some clients want a polished, understated setup; others want the
music turned up and a full dance floor. Tell us about your venue,
schedule and audience, and we’ll help you discuss a suitable option.

corporate events page.

private parties information.
Build a Playlist Around Your Guests
The best party playlists bring people together. That often means
mixing music across generations rather than sticking rigidly to
one genre. A classic everybody knows can lead into an indie
favourite, a modern pop hit or a big singalong. The key is finding
the right balance for the people in the room.
Before your event, think about the songs that make your group
get up and dance. Are there tracks linked to university days,
holidays, favourite nights out or family celebrations? Are there
artists you’d love to hear? Equally, let us know about songs
you’d rather avoid.
If you need inspiration, our
party band set list is a useful starting
point for discovering crowd-pleasing songs and musical styles.
Although it focuses on our live band’s repertoire, it can help
you identify the kind of music you want at your event.
DJ Only or DJ and Live Band?
There’s no single right answer. A standalone DJ is a great
choice when you want a flexible music selection throughout the
party. A live band offers the excitement of musicians performing
together, the impact of live vocals and the energy of a stage
performance.
You can also combine the two. Many events work brilliantly with
live band sets followed by DJ music, giving you the best of both
worlds. Our existing
free DJ service explains the DJ music
included when you book the band.
If you’re unsure which route to take, tell us about your event
and budget. We’ll help you compare the options without making
the decision more complicated than it needs to be.

If you’re having a party you probably want a brilliant band that actually gets the vibe and gets people dancing. This is really important to us. If that sounds good— get in touch. We’d love to be the FUN part of your night. If you have a wedding or event we are local to Bath, Wiltshire, Bristol, Somerset and Reading too although we travel absolutely everywhere. *Except the moon*. When people dance too much in zero gravity they have a tendency to float off which can cause problems with our insurance.
