Reviews of Funk Bands available in Padua

5/5 from 638 reviews
Photo of Jokebox Jokebox "For our intimate wedding of 32 guests, Jokebox Band played at our ceremony and our reception. And what can we say: They exceeded any expectations we had by far. From the heartfelt acoustics in the church, that moved everyone to tears and blended seamlessly into our ceremony to the very fast transition into the garden into the full set band that brought the vibes, everything was perfect. The repertoire was fantastic to go all afternoon, blending jazz vibes and songs for everyone to dance to. When they played narcotic as the grand finale of their set, every single one of our guests was going all in and dancing like it was midnight at around 18:30. They really brought the party to our beautiful reception. Additionally, as regards organization: They were super professional, extremely responsive and completely self-sufficient. We did not have to organize a single thing on the day of and just knew everything would work seamlessly with them. We cannot recommend them enough!" Based in Vicenza, Veneto (19 miles from Padua) 14th October 2026 Julia and Tobias - Private Wedding Photo of Streettino Jazz Band Streettino Jazz Band "Luca and the streettino jazz band were truly wonderful and made our wedding special and unique. A band of very skilled and down-to-earth professionals who entertained the party from beginning to end with fantastic live music. They accompanied us live during the aperitif and throughout lunch, then got us dancing and having fun after lunch with jazz, swing 😃 and more, plus DJ sets. They are truly down-to-earth and never intrusive. Michele and his band are very kind and follow your musical tastes in the preparation. They can vary in musical genre and are truly very skilled and professional. They are also available to do DJ sets with the music you like most in addition to live music. All the guests were delighted and they in particular made us crazy with joy by getting us to dance swing as we wanted. ☺️ Truly recommended!" Translated from Italian Based in Florence, Tuscany (117 miles from Padua) Lorenzo - Wedding Photo of The Gleams Project International Band The Gleams Project International Band "Michele is wonderful to work with. He is an amazing musician and singer, as well as DJ. He executed all of the music on our wedding day. For our ceremony, we had songs that we wanted played at specific moments from our playlist, and he nailed the timing. He and his band played beautiful music during cocktail hour and kept the energy up. He then DJed the music from our playlists of favorite songs for our reception and afterparty disco. Our friends were having so much fun and didn't want the evening to end, they even chanted "one more song" at the end of the night and Michele was kind enough to stay and oblige. We really enjoyed working with him and his band!" Based in Milan, Lombardy (131 miles from Padua) Victoria G. - 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 (147 miles from Padua) 28th July 2026 Vishaal Pawani - 75th birthday celebration Photo of Tuneagain Band Tuneagain Band "Sylvia and her band members deserve a clear 10 out of ten. Their performance was outstanding and you could hear, feel and see that they enjoy what they’re doing. They played for three hours nonstop without taking a break😊Highly recommendable. Juergen" Based in Marsciano, Umbria (173 miles from Padua) 6th October 2026 Tuneagain Band - 70th birthday Photo of Red Solo Cups Red Solo Cups "The band provided a great time and a positive atmosphere! They played for 2+ hours reletnlesly. It was great to hear some of those old movie and tv series hits :)" Based in Zagreb, City of Zagreb, Croatia (200 miles from Padua) Karlo Maros - Club gig

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for funk bands ranges from €180 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.
