Acoustic acts are the usual answer when a venue has a noise limiter or the ceremony is outdoors, since most can play with very little amplification or none at all. Ask how the band handles the quieter parts of the day: many will cover a drinks reception and dinner as a duo, then bring the full line-up out for the evening.

Soul Bands in CanadaAcoustic bands in Canada play unplugged or lightly amplified, which suits ceremonies, drinks receptions and rooms with a sound limit. Most work from popular songs rearranged for acoustic instruments, and many offer a smaller line-up for the daytime and a fuller one after dinner.
Outdoor ceremonies, marquees and rooms with a strict noise limit are the obvious cases, because an acoustic set carries without a PA fighting the limiter. They also suit long events where the music has to sit under conversation for part of the day and lead it later. Ask whether the band brings its own small PA, since even acoustic acts usually want vocal reinforcement in a larger room.
Rates for a duo in Canada start at $230 and rise to $2,850+ for a five-piece with full instrumentation, with most bookings around $800. Line-up size is the main variable, followed by how many hours of playing you need and how far the band travels.
The average price is $800 (CAD), with most priced from $230 to $2,850+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Gary Taylor Guitar
"Gary was such a wonderful musical addition to our event! He arrived on time with his own gear and was very attentive to our schedule and expectations. When there was a lull he took initiative and did some additional songs and kept the vibe going.
As a musician his performance was great. Both instrumentally and vocally very talented. We asked him to engage with the crowd, he didn't hesitate and his interactions came naturally. He even collaborated and improvised with other performers! He was extremely friendly and polite with us and our guests.
Thank you Gary for your special contribution to our night!"

Harbour City
"CAMIC had the great pleasure of having Harbour City perform at our annual conference. Not only was the band fantastic, but they played a variety of tunes, from ones themed to the East Coast to familiar tunes from the past. Our guests happily danced until the last set was played"
