Reviews of Funk Bands available in Virginia Beach

5/5 from 652 reviews
Photo of Jason Arce Jason Arce "Living states away, I wanted to express a novel way to wish my sister a Happy Birthday. After viewing Jason's video of his saxophone skills I felt he would be excellent for playing happy birthday for a door telegram. He was prompt in responding to messages as we figured out a day and time that worked best for him and my sister. He was professional, nice, and easy to talk to. Thank you again for a cherished memory, Jason!!" Based in Virginia Beach Natalie - Birthday Telegram Photo of Nadia Koz Experiment Nadia Koz Experiment "Nadia Koz played as a solo performer at our sisters birthday party at our house in the large backyard. She was on time to set up, was really kind and fun to talk to, and started exactly when she was supposed to. Her song choice somehow fit perfectly for the vibe we wanted, and she used some crazy guitar pedals, and was able to sound like a bunch of people playing instead of one. No complaints, it was the best hire we could've had." Based in Williamsburg, Virginia (50 miles from Virginia Beach) Wyatt Baldwin - Private Party Photo of Richard Lilliston Jr Richard Lilliston Jr "I absolutely love listening to him play his saxophone!! I have hired him to play at our special events at work and for my family events. He knows how to create the perfect list of songs to fit your particular event. We love to see him come in the door and hate to see him leave. We sing along we play the instruments that he provides, it’s just a great experience. 10 out of 10 every time" Based in Richmond, Virginia (95 miles from Virginia Beach) 18th September 2026 Monica Photo of JTucker - Urban Jazz & Smooth R&B JTucker - Urban Jazz & Smooth R&B "We had a GREAT time! The Band was awesome...I'm still getting compliments from attendees (please pass that on to Haywood). We want to book JTucker & the Krewe for next year too! Thanks for your patience and working with us on this event. I can't tell you how much fun we had with the Band! Round of Applause! Lol -Jamal W.- Event Planner Springhill Suits Event Center Chester, VA" Based in Richmond, Virginia (95 miles from Virginia Beach) Jamal W. - Kappa Alpha Psi Photo of JBaxterMusic Consortium LLC JBaxterMusic Consortium LLC "All we can say is Wow! Jay and his crew were amaaaaaazing! Truly made the night so memorable and fun. We couldn't be happier. From the minute they got to our house until they packed up their last instrument, they were nothing but professional, polite, respectful and friendly. And let's talk about how talented and entertaining they were! Even our neighbors said that they sat in their driveway and enjoyed the sounds of the evening. They truly ""brought the house down"" and we couldn't be more grateful and appreciative. We thanked Jay, and Rob's in touch w him about Venmo-ing, what we hope is a generous tip for him and his band. Monica, you too have been nothing but so helpful and gracious. It takes a village and we are so grateful for our fantastic village of vendors such as you and Jay. Thanks again for everything!! Tracie T." Based in Richmond, Virginia (95 miles from Virginia Beach) Tracie T Photo of THE "ORIGINAL" MOONLIGHTERS ® THE "ORIGINAL" MOONLIGHTERS ® "We hired the Original Moonlighters for our wedding band, and they were absolutely fantastic! We had a large wedding, with a lot of guests that have different musical tastes, but this band was able to get everyone on the dance floor and brought amazing energy to the wedding. They had a wide set list and made our special day even more fun." Based in Washington D.C., District of Columbia (152 miles from Virginia Beach) Thomas B. - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for funk bands ranges from $220 to $3,500+, 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.
