Testimonial

We were truly blown away by the performance from Eight Past Midnight at our wedding. The band delivered a phenomenal experience that brought our night to life with incredible music and energy. The dance floor was packed with joy and excitement, all thanks to EPM's outstanding talent and infectious enthusiasm! Moreover, the band's professionalism, punctuality, and attention to detail with every announcement and instruction made the evening run seamlessly. We couldn't have asked for a better performance!

Eight Past Midnight

Eight Past Midnight knocked it out of the park!! Every aspect of the evening and performance was so thoughtful and fun. Setting up and planning with Gloria was totally seamless and the set list was perfection. The perfect blend of old and new and everyone had such an amazing time and danced all night long. No one wanted to leave the dance floor.

We could not have loved Eight Past Midnight more! The music was incredible, the energy was fantastic. They kept the crowd engaged, there was dancing from beginning to end. It was a glorious night and they interacted with the crowd and were so personable. We give them the highest recommendation.

Eight Past Midnight was FANTASTIC!! They made our wedding such a blast and brought the energy throughout the entirety of the night to the point where no one wanted to leave the dance floor. The new song they learned from us was also great, and Gloria was very communicative and easy to work with ahead of time. 10/10 would recommend (and have recommended to numerous friends who are planning their wedding right now)!

We absolutely LOVED Eight Past Midnight. They were so interactive, fun and of course talented. All of our guests raved about them and had such a good time and fed off their contagious energy which set the tone for the night! Also on a personal note, we also really appreciated them taking the time to congratulate us and speak with some of our family members asking them if they enjoyed themselves. They were extremely nice and so fun and charismatic. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone who asks and if a situation arises where we would need a live band again would absolutely rebook them!

Our wedding day was truly exceptional! Eight Past Midnight had everyone on their feet and created an atmosphere that will be cherished forever! The band's energy and stage presence was infectious. They interacted with the crowd, got everyone involved, and had our guests raving about them the next day. We are so happy with our experience and will absolutely be recommending them to friends and family in the future!

Eight Past Midnight was truly the wedding band of our DREAMS. They were so professional, accommodating, and TALENTED. Our guests have continued to rave about how fun the music was and what a wonderful atmosphere the band created. I personally have never attended a wedding as a guest where the dance floor was as packed and lively as ours was with Eight Past Midnight ALL night long!!!

FAQs

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

What is the cost to book a band for an event?

We offer bands for nearly every budget, starting around $2,000 and going up to $15,000+. Most dance bands range between $3,500 and $8,500.

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.

Do bands provide lighting?

All 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.

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!
