Photo of Ten Most Wanted Band Ten Most Wanted Band "Music was great the energy was excellent they kept everyone on their feet all evening! Very professional can’t say enough about the horns and vocals. Would definitely recommend them for any type of function can’t wait to go hear them again!!" Based in Saratoga Springs, New York, United States (187 miles from Ottawa) 14th September 2026 Todd Shafer - Wedding Photo of The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band "Perfect Jazz Band! Secured The Kensie Jazz Band for our 30th Anniversary corporate event. From start to finish they were perfect. Perfect background music while guests are engaging in the social circuit. Perfect background music while being seated and served for dinner. The band can adjust their sound level to your preference. They play a range of music. A live band is a classy touch and adds ambience to any event rather than a standard DJ. It is a completely different vibe. Nice group of people! Good pricing as well. Thank you!" Based in Toronto, Ontario (218 miles from Ottawa) Jenifer F. - Cocktail and Dinner Music Photo of Taproots Taproots "A soulful, high-energy fusion of world-class musicians creating a vibrant, inclusive community. An unmissable, immersive experience!" Based in Springfield, Massachusetts, United States (276 miles from Ottawa) 12th March 2026 Academy Music Hall Photo of Le'Mixx Band Le'Mixx Band "Reviewed on: 12/28/2024 Le'Mixx is an eclectic bunch of talented musicians that exceeded our expectations. We didn't want a band that would perform the go-to tracks of the wedding circuit. We wanted a seasoned band to perform live music in genres ranging from Funk to R&B. Their band showcased tunes with woodwind & brass instruments and live vocals from their lead singer and all performers. The band informed us of all their necessities in advance and arrived early. The band also provided all the necessary equipment, like microphones and speakers. Our young and wise guests found themselves all on the dance floor from the energy Le'Mixx created." Based in Hamden, Connecticut, United States (311 miles from Ottawa) Alexis P. - Wedding Photo of LoVeSeXy tribute 2 the music of PRINCE LoVeSeXy tribute 2 the music of PRINCE "This group is over the top good. I see a lot of tribute bands at the Riviera Theater in North Tonawanda and I believe this tribute band is amongst the BEST tribute bands out there. The female guitar player and sax player are great. I can’t wait to see them again, and that Prince/ Morris Day guy really has the moves. See them if you can, it will be a great time." Based in Boston, Massachusetts, United States (313 miles from Ottawa) DocMoran Photo of The Virtual Band nyc The Virtual Band nyc "The Virtual Band gave one of the most memorable concerts I have ever seen… There was no better proof of the universal appeal of this band than the packed and diverse house."

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for funk bands ranges from $280 to $6,000+, with an average of $1,600. The main factors are band size, set duration and the style of funk. Line-ups with horn sections, backing vocalists and percussion tend to cost more than smaller guitar-driven combos.

The funk bands on Gig Heaven range from compact four-piece groups to larger ensembles with horn sections, backing singers and percussion. A bigger line-up delivers a fuller, more powerful sound, while a smaller band can suit tighter venues and budgets. Many bands offer flexible line-up options.

Most carry a playlist to run through their PA during breaks so the room does not fall quiet. Some will also take a list of tracks to use in those gaps. Where the gap matters, such as during a meal, agree the break times when booking rather than on the night.

Volume is manageable in most function rooms, as bands set up smaller and play with lighter dynamics when the space calls for it. Rooms with a noise limiter are the real constraint, particularly for drums and brass, which cannot be turned down the way amplified instruments can. Give the limiter level when enquiring and the band will say whether the booking works.

The funk bands perform funk, soul, disco, R&B and groove-driven music. Many funk bands cover classic hits alongside modern songs, creating a setlist that is focused on tight rhythms, brass hooks and getting the audience dancing.

Most funk bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, instruments and amplification. For larger venues or outdoor events, additional sound equipment may be needed. It is worth confirming all technical requirements with the band before booking.

Not always. Four and five-piece groups often work without one, leaning on guitar, keys and a strong rhythm section, while the larger acts carry brass as the defining sound. Horns cost more and need more stage, so the question is usually budget and space rather than repertoire.

Hiring funk bands is a popular choice for weddings, corporate parties, birthday celebrations, festivals and any event where a packed dance floor is the goal. Funk music has a broad, cross-generational appeal and is one of the most effective genres for keeping guests on their feet.
