Photo of The Party Singers The Party Singers "Absolutely brilliant night at our MUNZ Mid Winter Xmas Do on the 27th July at the Loons in Lyttelton. Can't thank The Party Singers enough. I have heard nothing but great comments regarding that night. IN FACT the crowd wished you would've kept going onto the early Hours 😅 they didn't want you to leave even after your 4hrs of NON STOP entertainment!! In all honesty it was the first time in 3 years that I have seen so many up on the dance floor and the Oldies stick around and Boogie the night away. FANTASTIC!! Thank you so much we will definitely re book you again for the next one. Very very happy thanks again" Based in Christchurch, Canterbury Annette McCauley - Maritime Union Of New Zealand - Mid Winter Xmas Corporate Function. 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 Andrew & Lisa Clarke - Wedding Photo of Jazzrain Jazzrain "Jazzrain was exactly what we were looking for. They managed to make our wedding unique. The violinist, accompanied by the keyboard player during the ceremony, made everything more magical. The aperitif with a jazz rhythm gave the right atmosphere. The singer's heavenly voice was the icing on the cake. Finally, the drummer Mattia, who accompanied us throughout the whole process with the choice of songs, was truly available, prepared and super professional. We could not have made a better choice for our big day" Translated from Italian Based in Milan, Lombardy, Italy 16th October 2026 Cristina Mortero - Matrimonio Photo of Party Hustlers Party Hustlers "We booked party hustlers for our wedding in Crete. We can honestly say this was the best wedding band we have ever seen. We were so impressed with their energy and performance. The frontman was amazing and we loved the saxophonist. Kyriakos’s communication was great which was super helpful as we are based in the UK. We cannot thank the Party Hustlers enough - they made our wedding so memorable!" Based in Athens, Attica, Greece 10th October 2026 Will Moss - Wedding Photo of The Supersonics The Supersonics "We had the Supersonics play at our wedding and they were absolutely amazing. From the start, they were friendly, kind, cool, and incredibly easy to work with. Pierre was especially great to organize with, and both my wife Nika and I had such a good experience with the whole team. They immediately understood the vibe we wanted. They brought such a great atmosphere to the wedding — fun, elegant, high-energy, and professional without ever feeling stiff. You can tell they really know weddings: they understand the timing, the flow of the evening, and what needs to happen without needing constant direction. They guided us when needed, gave us cues for entrances, moved naturally through the event, and just knew how to keep everything running smoothly. During the party, they went table to table, got people standing, singing, dancing, and fully involved. They sounded great, had amazing energy, looked great, and made the whole night feel alive. They are exactly the kind of band you want at a wedding: professionals who know what they’re doing, know how to read the room, and know how to get people celebrating. We would highly recommend the Supersonics to anyone looking for a wedding band that is talented, experienced, easy to work with, and genuinely fun to have around." Based in Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region, France 8th October 2026 Cyril Mani - Wedding Photo of Valma Valma "Alessio and Benedetta where very happy,in love and grateful for this beautiful memory and experience we all just made for them!! 💕☀️🎻✨🇮🇹⛵️ Bericht van Allesio: E V E R Y T H I N G perfect!!"

Frequently asked questions

The average price for pop bands on Gig Heaven is $1,850, with rates from $350 to $7,000+. Cost varies based on the number of band members, set duration and the production level of the performance. Pop bands range from compact line-ups to larger acts with backing vocalists, and bigger ensembles typically command higher fees.

The pop bands for hire in New Zealand play popular music spanning several decades of chart hits, from classic pop through to current releases. Many pop bands cover a wide range of artists and styles, creating setlists designed to appeal to the broadest possible audience.

Hiring pop bands is one of the most versatile entertainment choices for weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, proms, festivals and private celebrations. Pop music is universally recognised and appeals to guests of all ages and musical tastes.

Most pop bands perform for two to three hours, divided into sets with short breaks. Pop music sets tend to feature well-known singalong material that keeps the audience engaged throughout the evening. It is worth discussing the event schedule with the band to plan the best set structure.

Many pop bands are flexible and can adjust their setlist to include specific songs or focus on particular decades or styles. Some bands also take guest requests during the performance. Gig Heaven recommends discussing your music preferences with the band when making an enquiry.

Most pop bands are self-contained and bring their own PA system, instruments and basic lighting. For larger venues or outdoor stages, additional sound and staging may be required. It is advisable to confirm all technical details before booking.

Most acts will learn a first dance song given a few weeks' notice, and some include one learned request in the fee. Where a track is hard to reproduce live, the band can play the original recording for the dance and take over for the rest of the evening. Sending the song choice early gives them time to rehearse it properly.

Line-ups commonly run from four to eight players, with the larger ones adding brass, percussion or extra vocals. A smaller act suits a tighter room or a lower budget and still covers the same material. Supplier profiles list the line-up options each act offers.

Sound limiters are common in hotels and smaller function rooms, and experienced acts adjust stage volume and drum setup to work within them. Telling the band the limiter level at the booking stage matters more than the size of the room. Some venues also set a curfew, which affects how the sets are arranged.

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.
