Photo of Ginger & Tonic Ginger & Tonic "The last show we saw was Gold Dust Woman, but I have been to almost all the shows and they keep getting better. Beautiful Charlotte and the talented band are such a great secret. Don't tell all the tourists! Alexa and I love squeezing into the Blue Door, it feels like a French cabaret, only funnier!! I always have a good buzzy earworm stuck in my head for days. Keep up the good work G&T xx 11 out of 10!!" Based in Arrowtown, Otago (63 miles from Te Anau) 29th September 2026 Sean Drader Photo of Becky Mayes Becky Mayes "Becky was the perfect choice to provide music for our wedding! She has a powerful voice with the ability to sing various genres & styles of music from classic oldies to today’s top hits. Her approachable & friendly personality & bubbly sense of humour just added to the whole reception with our guests up dancing & having a ball! Would highly recommend Becky!" Based in Christchurch, Canterbury (275 miles from Te Anau) Andrew & Lisa Clarke - Wedding Photo of Unbelievable Wedding Big Band/Orchestra Unbelievable Wedding Big Band/Orchestra "I have been meaning to message you directly also to thank you. What you produced the night of our wedding was nothing short of magical - and I do not say this lightly. I am very happy to hear the band enjoyed the evening - I think their enjoyment and energy showed through their music. The feedback we have had from guests is overwhelming, particularly that the band and the singer (I don't remember his name) was the best they have ever heard at a wedding. You guys nailed the performance. I am so happy that we decided to do a live version, you could not have gotten the same energy and vibe with just a recording / original version. Your two sets were also perfect. There were a few times that we all stopped in the marquee to listen and appreciate the music, particularly My Way - I remember looking around and quite a few people were singing along! I think another sign of a success of a wedding is the number of people on the dance floor, and there was not an empty space during the second set. The amount of people of all ages dancing was a true highlight for me as we wanted this to be a wedding that everyone would enjoy - not just us." Based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (1,182 miles from Te Anau) Alexa - Private Wedding Photo of Les Mélomanes "The Music Lovers" Les Mélomanes "The Music Lovers" "Les Mélomanes set the perfect atmosphere for our recent mixer, the music was just what we wanted. - February 2023" Based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (1,182 miles from Te Anau) Turner Studios - Corporate Photo of Yohan Lakshitha | Violinist🎻 Yohan Lakshitha | Violinist🎻 "Grateful to Yohan for opening our event, Melodies in the Sky with Anjalee, on Saturday, 9 May 2026, with such a heartfelt violin performance. It truly set the perfect tone" Based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (1,282 miles from Te Anau) 16th May 2026 Suminda Photo of Carol Partridge Carol Partridge "We all loved your set and all the music was perfect for the day. Thank you for the tribute to my dad, I was very touched. We'd like you back for Valentine's night."

Frequently asked questions

Hiring party bands typically costs between $390 and $7,000+, with an average of $2,000. 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.
