Bands based close to your venue usually quote less, because travel time and any overnight costs are built into the fee. Ask what a quote covers before comparing two acts: some include PA and stage lighting, others price them separately.

Soul Bands in KitchenerParty bands in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada play popular music across several decades, from Motown and classic rock to current chart hits, adjusting the setlist and energy to suit the room. Also called function bands, these acts usually run to 3 to 6 musicians and are booked for weddings, birthdays, corporate functions and private parties.
Set structure varies more than most people expect. A typical evening booking is two 45-minute sets with a break, and many bands supply a DJ playlist to cover the gap so the music never stops. Confirm how early the act needs access for setup, whether the venue has a sound limiter, and whether the band will learn a specific song for a first dance.
Rates for function bands in Kitchener range from $310 to $5,500+, with the average booking at $1,600. Band size is the biggest factor: a three-piece costs less than a six-piece with brass or a second vocalist. Performance length, travel distance and whether the act supplies its own PA and lighting all move the figure.
The average price for Party Bands available in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada is $1,600 (CAD). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

The Enablers/ Hammer Tones
"I saw the Hammer Tones in Brantford, 3 songs in and I was convinced that we had to have them play at our car show in Hamilton. They showed up and did not disappoint !!!!! What a great mix of songs as they covered many genres which satisfied our many age groups.The day was extremely hot and the band did not miss a beat - they pushed through like the professionals they are. The reviews from the hundreds of people at the car show were phenomenal. Although we do change our band selection each year, we will definitely ask the Hammer Tones to return in the near future. Great job guys !!!"
