Photo of Perfect combination band Perfect combination band "We played at the hilltop reunion the promoters were very excited to hear was played that day and we had a lot more gigs from that particular concert up in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia Pennsylvania and there were other promoters that wanted us to play at other venues" Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Frank McMillan - Hilltop reunion everybody loves us at the Fairmont Park hilltop reunion to promoters were very excited to hear what's playing the promoters were very excited to hear his play Photo of Ever After Duo Ever After Duo "Ever After Duo has been a regular part of Tavola's entertainment program since reopening after the initial COVID shut down. They have an incredible repertoire of music from the 60's through today. They are extremely talented musicians and very well received by our clientele - not to mention they are an absolute pleasure to work with." Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Steve S., Restaurant Manager - Tavola Restaurant Photo of Philly Heart and Soul Philly Heart and Soul "Due to COVID-19, we had frequent changes regarding our wedding date and wedding details. Philly Heart & Soul was not only accommodating to all of the changes we had to make on a daily basis but helped us problem solve as new challenges arose. Our entrances for the reception and first dance songs were wonderfully performed even with interesting song choices from the bridal party. We received compliments throughout the reception on the pure talent they possessed and how enjoyable they were to watch and dance to. They were full of enthusiasm, warm and friendly towards the guests, and professional throughout the night. Philly Heart & Soul is the best choice for your next event!" Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Scott Green - Daughters Wedding Photo of Seven Seven "Choosing the Se7en Band to perform at our wedding was a no-brainer! Two years ago we saw them perform at a bar and the second they played their first song, we immediately asked who they were because we were absolutely blown away by their talent. Fast forward to planning our wedding day, we HAD to book this band. The Se7en Band exceeded all of our expectations for our wedding! They kept everyone on the dance floor! Our family and friends were AMAZED by their talent, and everyone is still talking about them! In addition, the Se7en Band was a pleasure to work with. We are so thankful that we found them two years ago and even more grateful that they performed at our wedding. They are so much fun!!! If you are looking for the best wedding band ever, please look no further than The Se7en Band. All the best, Amy & Andrew" Based in Levittown, Pennsylvania (23 miles from Philadelphia) Amy & Andrew - wedding Photo of Wilson Lambert's BLUE philly MAGIC Wilson Lambert's BLUE philly MAGIC "I had the opportunity to book Wilson Lambert's BLUE philly MAGIC for my daughter's wedding. I want to tell you. The experience was awesome and incredible at the same time. It was absolutely captivating to listen, dance, and outright enjoy this extremely professional act. It was the opportunity of a lifetime. Sincerely Adam." Based in Coatesville, Pennsylvania (35 miles from Philadelphia) Adam Sheffield - Wedding Photo of Joshua Kocses Joshua Kocses "Joshua performs acoustic guitar and dual lead vocals with Sean Cox DC Duo and they are amazing. Their range of material spans from decades of performing in the New York, New Jersey and Los Angels & Orange County California area in restaurants, pubs, clubs, private parties, weddings, yacht clubs, boats and veterans/military events. Joshua is a former US Marine and that level of precision is scene and heard in their music. They interact with their audiences and make different people of all types feel welcome."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring cover bands is $1,000, with prices from $210 to $3,500+. 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.

Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
