Soul Bands in BallaratMost of what decides whether a booking runs smoothly is settled before the band arrives, and it depends on the room. Venues in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia range from function suites with a house PA and a fixed curfew to marquees and outdoor terraces where everything has to be carried in, and the same five-piece behaves quite differently in each.
A four or five-piece needs roughly 4 by 3 metres of flat, dry floor, more once a drum riser or a brass section is involved, plus two or three power sockets within reach of the stage area. Check the load-in route early, because stairs, a long carry from the car park, or a lift too small for a bass cabinet all add time, and some acts charge for it. Ask about a sound limiter before you commit to anything: a limiter set low will cut the power mid-song, and there is no way around it once you are there. Curfews work the same way, since an 11pm finish moves the whole running order earlier than most people expect.
Saturdays in peak season and the whole of December go first, often a year out, so the band you want can end up fixing your date rather than the other way round. Distance shows up on a quote as travel, and occasionally as accommodation when the finish time makes the drive home impractical. Friday and Sunday bookings widen the field considerably if the date is flexible. Ask what the travel figure covers, since some acts price it into the fee within a set radius and charge separately beyond it.
Most bookings in Ballarat come in around $1,350 for two live sets, with duos and trios below that and larger lineups with brass or extra vocalists above it. What varies more than the headline figure is what sits inside it. Check what the quote covers: travel, a DJ set or playlist between sets, and how long the band plays in total rather than how many sets they perform. Most acts take a deposit to hold the date with the balance due close to the event, and overtime is normally charged in half-hour blocks, so agree the finish time in writing rather than on the night.
The average price for Cover Bands available in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia is $1,350 (AUD). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Andrew Borg Music. Solo Singer/guitarist
"Chloe's Wedding in Pentland Hills, Nov 2024
Andrew was incredible. We hired him for both my dad's 60th and then my wedding a few weeks later and both times he blew us away. All of our guests were commenting on how good he was. We just let him do his thing and he gauged the audience and played the perfect music. We not only love his style and voice but him as a person, he was an absolute delight to have on our special days."

Standard Procedure Band
"From the time of our booking mid 2024 to our event in late March 2025, Leighton Gates has just been superb to work with in all aspects of our event planning.
Saturday night was just brilliant with our 450 Rotarians and Rotaractors dancing the night away. From the second song onwards, we danced until the last song at nights end.
Honi and Phil and the Standard Procedure band were just brilliant and did not miss a note!
Thank you Leighton and your team and we look forward to seeing - and hearing you again soon!"
The Knots
"I highly recommend choosing The Knots to play for any of your upcoming events. We had Jessie and Tim as an acoustic duo play at our wedding and they were absolutely incredible! Jessie has a stunning voice and they chose the perfect songs to play at all times all night to make sure the guests had a great time. They really were the icing on the top of an already amazing day and we couldn’t have been happier for choosing them. Thank you so much Jessie and Tim, you guys are legends!"
Rocking Elvis by Serafino Alberti
"Rocking Elvis was a surprise gift for our mum's 80th birthday. He played a 30min solo gig to a very small crowd indoors and he was everything we could have hoped for. Very entertaining and incredibly engaging, particularly with mum. She absolutely loved him. Serafino is obviously a very genuine, kind and thoughtful person, staying back to talk to mum - he made her feel particularly special. Highly recommended!"
