5/5 from 595 reviews
Photo of Esotika Band Esotika Band "I met you by chance through a friend and you knew how to advise me really well. You were impeccable from the beginning to the end of our wedding, you satisfied us in everything and you were phenomenal especially when it came time to make us and our guests dance. I would choose you infinite times over, thank you!" Translated from Italian Based in Giarre, Sicily (38 miles from Messina) Elena - Matrimonio - Wedding Photo of The Shivers The Shivers "A huge thank you to The Shivers for keeping the evening going with such great music, all live. From soul to pop-rock, from great Italian tunes to their dance music corner… everything was perfect. The sound quality was also noteworthy, but never intrusive! We'll definitely be contacting them again." Based in Bari, Apulia (213 miles from Messina) 15th July 2026 Andrea Sunner - Private dinner party Photo of The Wave Band The Wave Band "The Wave were INCREDIBLE!! We had the best time and the band definitely helped make our day so special. They had everyone up on the dance floor, got the crowd going and everyone has been raving about them since. They also were very accommodating and offered to play at multiple times throughout the day. Thank you so much!" Based in Rome, Latium (302 miles from Messina) Nick & Nicole - Wedding Photo of Good Time ☆ Soul Foundation Good Time ☆ Soul Foundation "I can’t recommend Stefano and the Good Time Soul Foundation highly enough. They performed at my father’s 75th birthday celebration in Tuscany, and they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The evening began with a relaxed, elegant aperitivo set during drinks and dinner, creating exactly the atmosphere we were hoping for. Later, they seamlessly switched gears into a high-energy disco set that had everyone—from the youngest guests to the oldest—up on the dance floor. It was the perfect progression for the evening and created memories our family will cherish for years to come. The band was superb and the singer hit ALL the notes to perfection! Throughout the planning process, Stefano was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with, making everything stress-free. Due to sound and timing restrictions at our dinner venue, we planned to move to a second location for the dancing portion of the evening. Stefano was extremely helpful throughout this process, offering practical suggestions on how to manage the transition smoothly and efficiently. His experience and guidance made the logistics feel effortless. If you’re looking for a professional, talented, and flexible band that knows how to read the room and create the perfect atmosphere, I would wholeheartedly recommend Stefano and the Good Time Soul Foundation. They were one of the highlights of our celebration, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again." Based in Siena, Tuscany (417 miles from Messina) 28th July 2026 Vishaal Pawani - 75th birthday celebration Photo of Glitter & Gold Glitter & Gold "Superb! Disco beats and party hits, well and professionally played" Based in Thessaloníki, Central Macedonia, Greece (428 miles from Messina) Christina - Wedding party Photo of Party Hustlers Party Hustlers "We booked party hustlers for our wedding in Crete. We can honestly say this was the best wedding band we have ever seen. We were so impressed with their energy and performance. The frontman was amazing and we loved the saxophonist. Kyriakos’s communication was great which was super helpful as we are based in the UK. We cannot thank the Party Hustlers enough - they made our wedding so memorable!" Based in Athens, Attica, Greece (444 miles from Messina) 10th October 2026 Will Moss - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for funk bands ranges from €170 to €3,150+, with an average of €1,000. 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 for hire 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.
