Photo of MsP wit D’RYDMZ MsP wit D’RYDMZ "Miss P is easy on the eyes with muscular theighs and insane calves if you can get past all that great singer you can tell they have been playing together a long time . Do they tour would love to catch another show" Based in Toronto, Ontario Tony - Club 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 Jenifer F. - Cocktail and Dinner Music Photo of Jerry Caringi Jerry Caringi "I had the pleasure of hiring Jerry Caringi for my dad's 70th birthday party, and he truly made the evening unforgettable. His performance filled the venue with an incredible sound, and the repertoire was diverse, ensuring there was something for everyone to enjoy. We have had the opportunity to work with Jerry for many years; Jerry is always able to create a lively atmosphere, captivate the audience, and make everyone feel involved in the celebration. He was incredibly easy to work with from the initial booking to the end of the event. He was punctual, professional, and accommodating, which made the entire process seamless. I would highly recommend Jerry. He consistently exceeds expectations and contributed to making my dad's 70th birthday party a memorable success!"

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

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.
