Private Parties
Hire Musicians & Celebrity Acts for Private Parties
Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and backyard celebrations deserve better than a playlist. We match the music to the crowd and the space, from a solo guitarist on the patio to a full band in the barn.
What we handle for your private party
- Right-sizing the act for backyards, homes and small venues
- Power, noise ordinance and neighbor considerations
- Surprise performances and special guest appearances
- Song requests and custom set lists
Planning tips
Check power and space
A five-piece band needs roughly a 12 by 16 foot area and dedicated circuits. Acoustic acts and DJs need far less.
Know your local noise rules
Many cities restrict amplified sound at residences in the evening. We plan around the local rules for your address.

Who to book for your private party
Private Parties: common questions
Can you book a band for a backyard party?
Yes. We confirm space, power and timing with you first, then recommend acts that fit. For tight spaces an acoustic duo or DJ is often the better choice.
What is the minimum booking?
Most musicians have a two to three hour minimum. Solo and duo acts are a great fit for smaller gatherings.
