Photo of Generation 2 Generation 2 "One of the best Bands this side of the East Coast. I will definitely hire them again." Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 7th November 2025 O. P Patterson - Private event 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 The Bassboards The Bassboards "Our guests were raving about the band all night and for days after the wedding. The Bassboards really made our affair special. I can't say enough about them." Based in Flemington, New Jersey (42 miles from Philadelphia) Jim N. - Wedding Photo of Exit 93 Exit 93 "Caught Exit 93 at the Wellwood tonite (9/28). Fantastic! Don't miss them if you get the chance. Excellent guitar work, vocals, et al." Based in Elkton, Maryland (43 miles from Philadelphia) Don Camp - Fan 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!" Based in New York (81 miles from Philadelphia) Stacy G. - 50th Anniversary Party

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.

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.
