Photo of Rocksmith Rocksmith "These dudes rock! And they are a lot of fun! Doing a lot of the stuff we all grew up on just takes you back and makes you want to smile! Definitely a party when these guys show up! Especially captain keystone!" Based in Asheboro, North Carolina (66 miles from Raleigh) Raymond - Party Gig Photo of Brandon Robertson Sax Brandon Robertson Sax "Professional, supportive, and can throw down on that sax!" Based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina (93 miles from Raleigh) 15th April 2026 Serena Photo of Brazil Flavor Music Brazil Flavor Music "Perfect. Brazil Flavor Music was exactly what we needed for our event. The duo catered their music and brought the perfect vibe to our reception. In regards to booking, they stayed communicating with me, keeping me updated on any changes. They are very friendly, kind, and humble, and you can tell they love what they do. Musically, they are incredibly talented. Several attendees came to us during our event to compliment the music selection for the afternoon. Lastly, our event was 3.5 hours away from them, yet they willingly drove, arrived early/on time, set up, and were ready to go as soon as the doors opened. We will definitely be hiring them again in the future and we recommend them for sure. Thank you again, Brazil Flavor Music! Reviewer: Macklyn Mosley Services Provided: Bossa Nova Band, Easy Listening Band, Samba Band" Based in Charlotte, North Carolina (130 miles from Raleigh) Macklyn Mosley - Roanoke Public Libraries Photo of JBaxterMusic Consortium LLC JBaxterMusic Consortium LLC "All we can say is Wow! Jay and his crew were amaaaaaazing! Truly made the night so memorable and fun. We couldn't be happier. From the minute they got to our house until they packed up their last instrument, they were nothing but professional, polite, respectful and friendly. And let's talk about how talented and entertaining they were! Even our neighbors said that they sat in their driveway and enjoyed the sounds of the evening. They truly ""brought the house down"" and we couldn't be more grateful and appreciative. We thanked Jay, and Rob's in touch w him about Venmo-ing, what we hope is a generous tip for him and his band. Monica, you too have been nothing but so helpful and gracious. It takes a village and we are so grateful for our fantastic village of vendors such as you and Jay. Thanks again for everything!! Tracie T." Based in Richmond, Virginia (139 miles from Raleigh) Tracie T Photo of Nadia Koz Experiment Nadia Koz Experiment "Nadia Koz played as a solo performer at our sisters birthday party at our house in the large backyard. She was on time to set up, was really kind and fun to talk to, and started exactly when she was supposed to. Her song choice somehow fit perfectly for the vibe we wanted, and she used some crazy guitar pedals, and was able to sound like a bunch of people playing instead of one. No complaints, it was the best hire we could've had." Based in Williamsburg, Virginia (149 miles from Raleigh) Wyatt Baldwin - Private Party Photo of High Sierra High Sierra "High Sierra did an excellent job. Everyone at our Halloween Party loved them. If you're looking for an incredibly entertaining evening of acoustic music, I highly recommend them Chris H.

Frequently asked questions

The average price for pop bands on Gig Heaven is $1,050, with rates from $190 to $3,550+. 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 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.
