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 Amy & Andrew - wedding Photo of Generation 2 Generation 2 "One of the best Bands this side of the East Coast.

The harmonies were smooth, the musicianship was exceptional, and the connection with the audience made the entire experience feel personal and memorable.* *Whether honoring the sounds of Teddy Pendergrass, Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight & The Pips, The Temptations, Tavares, and other legends, The Baby Boomers Classic Soul Revue doesn’t just perform songs—they recreate an era.

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for funk bands ranges from $200 to $3,550+, with an average of $1,100. 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.
