Photo of Kevin & the Kitchen Sink Kevin & the Kitchen Sink "Kevin & the Kitchen Sink was a pleasure to work with from the moment we contacted them. They created a perfect playlist, including a specially requested song (my parent’s first dance song from 40 years ago!) and the band was incredible! The crowd was on the dance floor the whole night. We couldn’t have been happier with this band and would highly recommend them. Thank you Kevin & the Kitchen Sink for such a great party!" Based in Kingston, Ontario Megan - Anniversary Party Photo of The Howard Lopez Music Group The Howard Lopez Music Group "Everything and more... Howard and his group played our client event and did an outstanding job. All expectations were surpassed with their dynamic selection of music and our clients thoroughly enjoyed their performance.

They had a wonderful & appropriate set list that kept everyone dancing & entertained the whole time they performed. We highly recommend them. ACR Health" Based in Syracuse, New York, United States (83 miles from Kingston) ACR Health - World AIDS Day Gala Photo of Starfire Band Starfire Band "Community Addictions Peer Support Association (CAPSA) “It was exciting to see the band set up with the experience of playing for many years. It was great when the audience began to react to Starfire, and it was even better when they started telling me directly that I had picked a great band. What really sealed the deal was when the professional soundman and MC both personally said to me that’s a great band. Starfire’s has great talent, and what sets them apart is their love for playing…it makes for a memorable night of favourite songs and irresistible dance music. Definitely planning on having them back, and if you are arranging to have them play at your event – don’t forget to invite me!” - Gord Garner, Executive Director" Based in Ottawa, Ontario (90 miles from Kingston) Gord Garner - Community Addictions Pert Support Association

Frequently asked questions

Hiring party bands typically costs between $330 and $6,000+, 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.

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.
