Photo of Michael.C Michael.C "I hired Michael to play guitar at both public and private events numerous times and he’s always prepared and did a good job!" Based in Vancouver, British Columbia 5th March 2026 Long Lai - Wedding and corporate parties Photo of Dirt Road Rebels Dirt Road Rebels "This band did not disappoint. They were very professional and when asked they catered to our requests. They performed Authentic Country music from both old and new artists, and with great singers. It felt like we were at a concert." Based in Vancouver, British Columbia Miles Blaney - Hoe Down Show Down Photo of Annika & the Earthlings Annika & the Earthlings "Thanks for a fantastic evening! We have booked our next year's Christmas event, on Dec 5, 2026. Same venue. I would love if we can have the band play for us again!!! Kindly confirm. Mike" Based in Abbotsford, British Columbia 21st March 2026 Mike - Coastland Engineering Photo of The Unknowns The Unknowns "There are songs that just stand out because they are so different from everything out there. “Stay Down Kat”, by The Unknowns, is definitely one of those songs. There’s a suave, jazzy, bluesy feel to this song, with great lead and backing vocals. It’s sultry, sensual, mysterious, and controlled, yet it has its powerful moments. And who can resist a great sax solo? Those things will draw you in, and soon The Unknowns will be known." Based in Bellingham, Washington, United States George Duchow - WRGG Radio Photo of THE LATIN LOVERS THE LATIN LOVERS "So tight! So talented! Amazing performers with impeccable choice in both wonderfully well written originals and stunning covers of crowd pleasing favourites. One of my favourite bands I've ever seen!" Based in Nelson, British Columbia Gee Campos Photo of MG Entertainment, Inc. MG Entertainment, Inc. "We booked WOW- We're One World for our fundraising gala event and they put on an amazing show. The mix of music was great, the band was professional and sounded so solid. They showed up in full glam attire to our elevated event. Communication was easy and we really enjoyed hosting them. Our crowd was enjoying dancing and singing along to all the songs through the night and gave great reviews. We are booking them again for our event this year!" Based in Edmonton, Alberta 30th April 2026 April Simard - Stepping Stones Crisis Society

Frequently asked questions

Hiring party bands typically costs between $320 and $5,500+, with an average of $1,600. The price is driven primarily by the number of band members, performance duration and whether the act includes extras such as DJ sets between live music, lighting or staging. Party bands range from lean four-piece outfits to large ensembles with horn sections and backing vocalists.

The party bands for hire play a broad mix of crowd-pleasing music including pop, rock, soul, funk, disco, Motown, hip hop and current chart hits. The focus is on well-known, danceable songs that appeal to a wide audience and keep the party atmosphere going.

Hiring party bands is one of the most popular entertainment choices for weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, festivals and private celebrations. A live party band brings energy, interaction and showmanship that take any event beyond what a DJ or playlist can deliver.

A typical party band booking covers two to three hours, usually divided into two or three sets with short breaks. Larger party bands with bigger line-ups often deliver a more high-energy show with audience interaction between songs. It is worth discussing the event timeline with the band to agree on the best format.

The party bands on Gig Heaven range from compact three or four-piece groups to larger ensembles with horn sections, backing singers and additional musicians. A bigger line-up creates a more powerful sound for large venues and events. Many bands offer flexible line-up options to suit different budgets.

Most party bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, instruments, stage lighting and DJ equipment for use between sets. For very large venues or outdoor stages, additional sound and lighting may be required. It is a good idea to confirm all technical details before booking.
