Photo of The Waltzing Matildas The Waltzing Matildas "We asked Valerie Hudson of the Waltzing Matilda’s to play piano and sing at the Celebration of Life ceremony for my wife’s mother. The event was to celebrate the 99 years of her life. It was a very uplifting and emotional event and Valerie’s renditions of jazz tunes including I Will Always Love You, Smile, Wonderful World, Blue Sky, I’ll be Seeing You and others were very well done and added immensely to the celebration. Thanks Valerie!" Based in Calgary, Alberta 29th September 2026 David White - Celebration of Life Photo of RMD Band RMD Band "We can’t recommend RMD Band enough! They are a group of incredibly professional and talented musicians who know exactly how to create an amazing atmosphere. Every time they perform at Garahe Street Foods, our venue is packed with a full house, and the energy is always incredible. Guests sing along, dance, and truly enjoy every moment of the live entertainment they bring. Their passion, talent, and connection with the crowd make every performance memorable. Thank you, RMD Band, for always giving your best and making every event at Garahe Street Foods such a huge success. We look forward to having you back again and again! Highly recommended for anyone looking for exceptional live entertainment! 🎶👏" Based in Regina, Saskatchewan 21st July 2026 Garahe Street Foods Photo of Four Lanes Wide Classic Rock Band Four Lanes Wide Classic Rock Band "I saw four Lanes Wide last night in Brighton and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to them! I knew every single song they played. They covered a great variety of artists and played all hit songs. I especially liked the Canadian content. It would have been nice to hear a BTO or Guess Who song but they were great!" Based in Peterborough, Ontario 10th July 2026 Janet MacDonald - Concert n the park - Brighton, Ontario Photo of Cruisin Vocal Band Cruisin Vocal Band "In 2021, when Uxbridge Probus was able to finally get together again, we planned a Gala Christmas Luncheon in December, with "Cruisin" to be our entertainment for the celebration. They were so entertaining, and the feedback so great, we booked them for our Gala Christmas Luncheon in December 2022. Again "Cruisin" received an enthusiastic reception to their program of favourite music, instrumentation, personal patter and included some music to get us into the Christmas Spirit! The Social Committee of Uxbridge Probus has already booked "Cruisin" for our 2023 Christmas Luncheon! We're really excited to have them for a third time!! Gail V. Probus Uxbridge" Based in Whitby, Ontario 31st March 2026 Gail - Probus Photo of Annika & the Earthlings Annika & the Earthlings "Thanks for a fantastic evening!

Frequently asked questions

Hiring dance bands typically costs between $290 and $5,500+, with an average of $1,700. The price depends on the number of musicians, set duration and the style of dance music. Dance bands vary from compact combos to large ensembles with horn sections, and the size of the line-up is the primary cost driver.

Common events for dance bands include weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, proms and any celebration where getting guests dancing is a priority. A live dance band brings energy and interaction that a DJ or playlist cannot match.

The dance bands in Canada cover a wide range of popular dance music including pop, disco, funk, soul, Motown, rock and current chart hits. Most dance bands focus on well-known, uptempo songs designed to fill the dance floor at parties and celebrations.

Typical bookings for dance bands are two to three hours of live music, split into high-energy sets designed to keep guests on the dance floor. Short breaks between sets give the band and audience a chance to reset before the next round. It is worth discussing the event schedule with the band to plan the best format.

Most dance bands bring their own PA system, instruments and basic stage lighting. Some bands offer enhanced lighting packages as an optional extra. For larger venues, additional sound or lighting may be needed. It is advisable to confirm all technical requirements before booking.
