Photo of Ginger & Tonic Ginger & Tonic "The last show we saw was Gold Dust Woman, but I have been to almost all the shows and they keep getting better. Beautiful Charlotte and the talented band are such a great secret. Don't tell all the tourists! Alexa and I love squeezing into the Blue Door, it feels like a French cabaret, only funnier!! I always have a good buzzy earworm stuck in my head for days. Keep up the good work G&T xx 11 out of 10!!" Based in Arrowtown, Otago (63 miles from Te Anau) 29th September 2026 Sean Drader Photo of Becky Mayes Becky Mayes "Becky was the perfect choice to provide music for our wedding! She has a powerful voice with the ability to sing various genres & styles of music from classic oldies to today’s top hits. Her approachable & friendly personality & bubbly sense of humour just added to the whole reception with our guests up dancing & having a ball! Would highly recommend Becky!" Based in Christchurch, Canterbury (275 miles from Te Anau) Andrew & Lisa Clarke - Wedding Photo of Duo Acoustic Duo Acoustic "The band were amazing and really made our night. The guests were really enjoying the music as they are lively and the songs choice were great. Ed and Simone set up everything by themselves and Iet me worry free, also very easy to deal with, they even asked me what would i like them to wear also. They were perfectly in tune and everything was excellent." Based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (1,182 miles from Te Anau) 21st September 2026 Le Anh Nguyen - Wedding at Le Montage, Iron Cove Bay Photo of Slumberjacks Slumberjacks "The band members, very respectful and responsible, arrived on time and were very professional at all times. But honestly, we felt very disappointed that when contacting this band, we were specific about confirming if they played certain songs, certain artists, including rock and roll songs, which was the main concept of the party including decoration, etc. A party obviously centered on the birthday person for their 80th birthday, and the band played a selection of music that wasn’t what we requested. So, sorry for the honesty, but in that sense, we were very very disappointed. The idea was to hear the birthday person’s favorite songs, and that didn’t happen. That was the main reason we decided to invest in a band instead of going to a nightclub to listen to random music." Based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (1,182 miles from Te Anau) 14th July 2026 Loren - Birthday Photo of Vale Acoustic Vale Acoustic "We cannot thank Matt and Steve enough for being such a huge part of our wedding day. From start to finish, they were incredible, professional, fun, and so in tune with the energy of the room. Their live performances were absolutely beautiful and added such a personal touch to the ceremony and reception. And when it was time to hit the dance floor, they had everyone up and celebrating all night long! So many of our guests commented on how amazing the music was, and honestly, we couldn’t agree more. Steve and Matt helped create such a fun and relaxed atmosphere, and it truly wouldn’t have been the same without them. If you’re looking for musicians who genuinely care and know how to bring the perfect vibe to your day these are your guys!" Based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (1,182 miles from Te Anau) Brooke - Wedding Photo of FOURNITE Band FOURNITE Band "The Fournite Band from Sydney, NSW, is known for performing at events and brings a high-energy vibe tailored to various occasions.

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring cover bands is $1,750, with prices from $350 to $6,500+. Pricing is mainly driven by the number of band members, performance duration and whether the band supplies its own sound and lighting equipment. Cover bands range from small acoustic acts to large party bands, so the line-up and production level have the biggest impact on cost.

Many cover bands are happy to learn a specific song for a first dance or other special moment. To get the best results, make this request as early as possible, as some songs require additional rehearsal. Most bands will learn at least one special request at no extra charge.

Most cover bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, instruments, amplifiers and stage lighting for standard event venues. For larger spaces or outdoor events, additional equipment may be required. It is a good idea to confirm all technical and staging details with the band before booking.

The cover bands for hire cover a huge range of genres including pop, rock, soul, funk, disco, indie, hip hop and current chart hits. Many cover bands specialise in a particular era or style, while others offer a broad mix designed to appeal to all ages and tastes. Browsing band profiles on Gig Heaven is the best way to find the right musical fit.

Hiring cover bands is one of the most popular entertainment choices for weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, festivals and private celebrations. A good cover band plays recognisable songs that get guests singing and dancing, making them a reliable option for events where a full dance floor is the goal.

Standard performance times for cover bands are two to three hours, usually split into two or three sets. Many function bands offer DJ or background music services between sets, and some can extend their evening with additional acoustic or DJ-only slots. Performance formats can usually be adjusted to fit the event schedule.
