Photo of We Rize Up Band We Rize Up Band "We Rize Up is a seasoned ensemble who will catch the immediate attention from varied audiences--it doesn't matter who the audience id--big, small, formal or casual--as soon as they take the stage, it's on! They are consummate professionals, personable, engaging and perform with the clients requests in the forefront. We Rize Up is THE go-to band!! Put them onto your event now!!" Based in Rocky Mount, North Carolina Olive - Painting by Voice Music Photo of Nadia Koz Experiment Nadia Koz Experiment "Nadia Koz played as a solo performer at our sisters birthday party at our house in the large backyard. She was on time to set up, was really kind and fun to talk to, and started exactly when she was supposed to. Her song choice somehow fit perfectly for the vibe we wanted, and she used some crazy guitar pedals, and was able to sound like a bunch of people playing instead of one. No complaints, it was the best hire we could've had." Based in Williamsburg, Virginia Wyatt Baldwin - Private Party Photo of Brice Brice "Brice played guitar before and during our wedding ceremony. Despite reaching out to him with very short notice, he was more than happy to play some of our favorite songs. He was professional, responsive, and very talented—multiple guests commented on what a beautiful job he did! Brice’s music made our ceremony extra special, and we’re so glad that he was a part of our wedding day." Based in Wake Forest, North Carolina Annie Steele - Private Wedding Photo of Richard Lilliston Jr Richard Lilliston Jr "I absolutely love listening to him play his saxophone!! I have hired him to play at our special events at work and for my family events. He knows how to create the perfect list of songs to fit your particular event. We love to see him come in the door and hate to see him leave. We sing along we play the instruments that he provides, it’s just a great experience. 10 out of 10 every time" Based in Richmond, Virginia 18th September 2026 Monica Photo of JBaxterMusic Consortium LLC JBaxterMusic Consortium LLC "All we can say is Wow! Jay and his crew were amaaaaaazing! Truly made the night so memorable and fun. We couldn't be happier. From the minute they got to our house until they packed up their last instrument, they were nothing but professional, polite, respectful and friendly. And let's talk about how talented and entertaining they were! Even our neighbors said that they sat in their driveway and enjoyed the sounds of the evening. They truly ""brought the house down"" and we couldn't be more grateful and appreciative. We thanked Jay, and Rob's in touch w him about Venmo-ing, what we hope is a generous tip for him and his band. Monica, you too have been nothing but so helpful and gracious. It takes a village and we are so grateful for our fantastic village of vendors such as you and Jay. Thanks again for everything!! Tracie T." Based in Richmond, Virginia Tracie T Photo of Jimi King Trio Jimi King Trio "Awesome! Jimi and the guys were SO good--perfect for our event and loved by our team and guests!

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring cover bands is $1,000, with prices from $210 to $3,550+. 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.
