Photo of Manhattan Jazz Trio Manhattan Jazz Trio "Having the Manhattan Trio perform at our summer cocktail party was great. The music added a nice atmosphere to the party, with elegant jazz standards everybody recognized. The band even took some requests from guest and performed them beautifully. If you are looking for a sophisticated and elegant jazz music atmosphere, this is it!" Based in New York 20th March 2026 Marco S. - Cocktail Party Photo of Nadine Simmons & Soul of New York Nadine Simmons & Soul of New York "Nadine and her Soul of New York Band performed at our 50th anniversary party and were absolutely incredible! From the moment they started playing, they created a fantastic atmosphere that had everyone’s attention. Nadine’s voice was powerful and pitch-perfect, and the rest of the band showcased impressive skills and stage presence. They were incredibly professional and easy to work with. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how great the band was. If you’re looking for a band that will elevate your event and keep the party going, look no further.

Frequently asked questions

Hiring party bands typically costs between $230 and $3,700+, with an average of $1,100. 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.
