Private Event

ACE Music Booking Agency rating stars for a completed live music booking for Private Event by Russ on 02 Apr 2025

We had a great party, and as always, it is the music that sets the stage. I would highly recommend Ace for the connection to Chris and his band members. All that attended loved the change from the typical.

Zac was the perfect choice for our event. He played some songs from our play list and then others that he chose, and all were just right! He created a wonderful relaxed atmosphere and everyone had a great time.

Pub – Bar

ACE Music Booking Agency rating stars for a completed live music booking for Pub - Bar by John on 10 Jan 2025

We get a lot of demand from bands wanting to play here and dealing with the calls can take up a lot of time. Much easier to just tell them to sign-up on your site.
