“I had a fantastic birthday party thank you! In terms of the band they were everything that I expected and more! The band were the first thing I booked and for me everything revolved around having a great night with fabulous live music. They certainly lived up to the clips I had seen of them and they made the party. Honestly I can’t fault them, they were very professional, but most importantly the quality of their music, repertoire, voices etc made my night! I was on the dance floor for most of the evening and I loved them and wouldn’t hesitate to book them again! Also can I say thanks to Tailored Entertainment as your service throughout has been fantastic.”

Not sure where to start? Here are some of the most common questions we get from people booking live bands in Chelmsford…

Contact Us

How much does it cost to hire a band in Chelmsford?

Professional party bands in Chelmsford start from around £1,250. This ensures top-tier musicians, professional equipment and a polished performance. Larger bands or premium line-ups will cost more.

My favourite band isn’t local – will they travel to Chelmsford?

Absolutely! Our bands regularly travel across the UK. Travel costs may apply and for journeys over two hours, overnight accommodation (Travelodge-style) costs may need to be covered.

Can I hire a band for a private house party in Chelmsford?

Yes! Bands can perform at homes and private venues. Just ensure there’s safe electrical power, and for outdoor events, weather protection for equipment.

How do I book a live band in Chelmsford?

Simply shortlist your favourite bands from our Chelmsford roster and submit your enquiry. Our booking team will guide you through options, contracts and payment terms.

Can I choose the songs the band plays?

Each band has a repertoire online. You can highlight favourites and flag a few songs you’d like to avoid. Plus, all bookings include one special request (for weddings, this is often the first dance).

Do I need a DJ as well as a band?

No – all our Chelmsford bands provide a DJ service before and after their live sets, so your whole night’s entertainment is covered.

Can you help me pick the right Chelmsford band?

Of course. Think about the music that gets you and your guests dancing. If you’re unsure, our team can recommend acts that fit your budget, style and event type.

Do your bands have PLI and PAT Testing certificates?

Yes – every Tailored Entertainment band has Public Liability Insurance (PLI) and PAT-tested equipment, meeting all venue requirements.

What different styles of band can I hire in Chelmsford?

Our bands cover every style – from festival folk and Gatsby jazz to indie-rock, soul, Motown, and dance anthems. Whatever your taste, we’ll match you with the perfect act.

My venue has a sound limiter. Can I still book a band?

Yes. Most bands can work within sound limiter restrictions. If your venue has strict rules, we can suggest acts with experience performing under them.
