Photo of Nadine Simmons & Soul of New York Nadine Simmons & Soul of New York "Nadine and her Soul of New York Band performed at our 50th anniversary party and were absolutely incredible! From the moment they started playing, they created a fantastic atmosphere that had everyone’s attention. Nadine’s voice was powerful and pitch-perfect, and the rest of the band showcased impressive skills and stage presence. They were incredibly professional and easy to work with. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how great the band was. If you’re looking for a band that will elevate your event and keep the party going, look no further. Can’t wait to see them perform again!"

Frequently asked questions

Hiring dance bands typically costs between $240 and $3,950+, with an average of $1,350. 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.

The dance bands for hire 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.

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.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. 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.
