Live music has the incredible power to transform any party into an event that sticks in your guest’s minds. To us, music is the best way to create an engaging atmosphere and entertain guests.

Ready to start searching for the ultimate party entertainment? Here are our top tips to help you choose the perfect live music for your party.
It makes sense that different events require different musical genres to create the right atmosphere. After all, the live musician you choose for an 18th birthday party is going to look quite different to your choice for a golden anniversary meal.
For instance, for a wedding, you could benefit from a live band that can play romantic ballads and dancefloor fillers, while a corporate event with a spot of networking might be better suited to a sophisticated jazz trio or a classical pianist for some background ambience.

If you’re hosting an event for yourself, we’ll always say to go with what you want rather than everyone else. However, this can be hard to do when you’re not sure where to start.
If you find yourself in this situation, you can use the preferences of your guests as a key to booking the right live music band.
We’d recommend looking at your guest list and taking into account the age group, musical tastes, and cultural backgrounds of your guests. For example, a younger crowd might enjoy a high-energy DJ, while an older audience might prefer a live band playing hits from the 70s and 80s.
It’s always good to have a figure in your back pocket to go towards the cost of your event’s live music hire. It’s important to remember that hiring live music artists can vary depending on the type of performer, how long they’ll be playing, and the distance they have to travel to you.
At AMV Live Music, we know that many of our customers worry about their live music budget, so we have a variety of packages to suit different needs. Once you get in touch with the AMV Live Music team, we’ll send your chosen artists fees and help you answer any questions regarding their quote.
When it comes to live music, it can be hard to catch the vibe of an artist before you hear them play. While you can go off of a detailed description, we find it’s best to offer our customers an audio or video sample.
Listening to samples of our artists’ performances and taking a look at the types of songs on their set list can give you a better idea of their style and how well they’ll complement your event, so make sure to take a look at each artist’s song list on the AMV Live Music site . When you enquire, the team at AMV Live Music will be more than happy to send you over a few more demos of your chosen artist should you like to see more examples of their performances.
The size and acoustics of your venue play a significant role in the type of live music you should choose. A large venue may require a full band with amplification, while a smaller, more intimate setting might be perfect for an acoustic soloist or a string quartet.
Make sure to include your specifications within your enquiry so that the AMV Live Music team can provide personalised advice and support for your requirements. Our team can provide expert advice on matching music to your venue.
