5/5 from 489 reviews
Photo of So To Speak So To Speak "We celebrated our wedding at the Labirinto della Masone in Fontanellato and So To Speak were the soul of our dinner. The evening had the setback of rain but the group was brilliant in relocating all the equipment under the porticos and brought color and warmth in the most coherent way. The sweet voice reached the tables with the right intensity and the musical notes enveloped us in two and a half hours of pure elegance. I absolutely recommend hiring them for your ceremonies, maximum seriousness and courtesy. Thanks again to Fabrizio and the entire So To Speak Band." Translated from Italian Based in Parma, Emilia-Romagna (54 miles from Bologna) Alessandro S - private wedding Photo of The White Keys The White Keys "That was truly wonderful—thank you so much for guiding our big day so beautifully. We couldn’t have wished for a better band. We chose you specifically because you were clear with us from the start. The May initial meeting was great, and you really listened to all our wishes. The guests’ feedback was consistently positive—it was just so much fun for everyone, including us. The music selection was perfect—there was something for everyone, and you were happy to accommodate spontaneous requests. We wholeheartedly recommend you. Thanks again a thousand times, Aileen and Chris" Based in Verona, Veneto (67 miles from Bologna) 30th September 2026 Aileen Benkart - Private Wedding Photo of SoulMates Collective SoulMates Collective "SoulMates were absolutely fantastic at our wedding celebration. They were able to play exactly what we wanted and the quality of service and responsiveness was phenomenal! Our guests danced the whole time and are still talking about how wonderful the band played! Thank you again Francesco and band members you truly made our day special." Based in Siena, Tuscany (81 miles from Bologna) Charmaine Bonaparte - Private Wedding Photo of Blue Moon Italian Jazz Band Blue Moon Italian Jazz Band "They were fantastic. Very personable. It was a party for 80 people. All ages. The music (principally the soft jazz that I had asked for) had everyone dancing. The volume was perfect, not too loud or too soft. They are excellent musicians. Their sound was exactly as recorded on the website." Translated from Italian Based in Sarteano, Tuscany (107 miles from Bologna) 27th January 2026 Lexa Hilliard - Birthday Party. Photo of Just the two of us Just the two of us "Angelo and Chiara's music with guitar and vocals was a wonderful addition to our ceremony and later to the apéro as well – they created such a beautiful atmosphere. Communication beforehand was always quick and easy. We really appreciated that Angelo took care of all the important regulatory requirements for their performance here in Switzerland in advance – you could tell he was on top of things. Chiara has such a beautiful voice, and together they're such a wonderful duo – they were the perfect match for the vision we had in mind. When we had a last-minute song request, they were immediately on board and beautifully incorporated it into their repertoire! A thousand thanks for your support – you two were simply wonderful and made our day unforgettable." Based in Milan, Lombardy (125 miles from Bologna) 19th August 2026 Milena Peter - Wedding Photo of Diadema Diadema "A friend of ours told us about this duo. We checked through the web and immediately called them for our wedding party. They were even better than we expected! As a guitar player myself, I appreciated Andrea's skills, but you don't need to be a musician to be charmed by Martina's stunning voice. We are Diadema fans now and follow them live, every time we can!" Based in Orvieto, Umbria (129 miles from Bologna) Marco - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring R&B bands is €900, with prices from €170 to €3,600+. The main pricing factors are the number of musicians, performance duration and whether the band includes horn players and backing vocalists. Larger R&B line-ups with brass sections and multiple singers typically cost more than stripped-back combos.

The R&B bands perform rhythm and blues, neo-soul, contemporary R&B and classic soul music. Many bands cover hits from artists spanning several decades, from Motown through to modern R&B, creating a smooth and groovy setlist.

Many clients book R&B bands for weddings, corporate parties, birthday celebrations, gala dinners and private functions. R&B music creates a sophisticated yet soulful atmosphere that works for both relaxed dining and energetic dancing.

The R&B bands on Gig Heaven range from small three or four-piece groups to larger ensembles with backing singers and horn sections. A bigger line-up delivers a richer, fuller sound. Many bands offer flexible sizing to suit different events and budgets.

Most R&B bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, instruments and amplification. For larger events, additional equipment may be required. Gig Heaven recommends confirming technical requirements with the band before booking.
