Reviews of Soul Bands available in Edmonton

5/5 from 541 reviews
Photo of The Unknowns The Unknowns "There are songs that just stand out because they are so different from everything out there. “Stay Down Kat”, by The Unknowns, is definitely one of those songs. There’s a suave, jazzy, bluesy feel to this song, with great lead and backing vocals. It’s sultry, sensual, mysterious, and controlled, yet it has its powerful moments. And who can resist a great sax solo? Those things will draw you in, and soon The Unknowns will be known." Based in Bellingham, Washington, United States (512 miles from Edmonton) George Duchow - WRGG Radio Photo of STRANGE BRUE Band STRANGE BRUE Band "Strange Brue IS strangely brewing a music storm of radiant light that you can feel in your bones forever. Slick Spewdis - Basin Sound Herald" Based in Klamath Falls, Oregon, United States (871 miles from Edmonton) Slick Spewdis Photo of Soul Food Band Soul Food Band "These men are the absolute best!! They play old, new and progressive music, R&B, and just an overall great assortment of genre of music" Based in Denver, Colorado, United States (1,034 miles from Edmonton) Tracy M Mealer-Hernandez - Social Security Administration Photo of Groove Nation Orchestra Groove Nation Orchestra "Dave and the band were incredible for our wedding. They had the dancefloor packed and jamming the entire time they played. Every song they played sounded great; the overall talent of the band was evident. We would HIGHLY recommend GNO for someone else's wedding, they played a great list and the special dance songs were top notch! Literally dozens of our wedding guests told us that night and the following day how awesome a band they were and how great the party was, and we completely agree! Thanks again to Dave and GNO, you guys helped make our special day even more memorable!" Based in Denver, Colorado, United States (1,034 miles from Edmonton) Patrick B - Wedding Photo of The R Factor The R Factor "The absolute BEST! The R Factor was the highlight of our wedding last December. We had the largest dance floor possible at our venue, Saint Paul Hotel, and people were dancing on the carpet- The dance floor was PACKED all night. Almost a year later, we still have guests raving to us about our wedding band. They were professional, took short breaks (the shortest breaks I’ve ever seen at a wedding) and they played almost all of the songs we requested. I highly recommend R Factor for any event. Thank you for making our wedding so memorable!!!" Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States (1,081 miles from Edmonton) Mike & Julie - Wedding Photo of Groove Ride Groove Ride "If you're considering Groove Ride for your wedding or event, stop searching and book them immediately. Groove Ride was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, Doc was incredible to work with. He was responsive, organized, thoughtful, and made the entire planning process feel effortless. Every question was answered quickly, every detail was handled professionally, and he gave us complete confidence that the entertainment would be amazing. And wow—did they deliver. The band absolutely brought the party. Our dance floor was packed all night long, from the first song to the last. The energy, talent, and ability to read the crowd were unmatched. We had guests of all ages dancing, singing along, and having the time of their lives. One of the things we heard over and over throughout the night was, “Where did you find this band?” and “They are incredible!” Our guests are still talking about them weeks later. If you want a band that will keep your guests engaged, create unforgettable memories, and make your reception the party everyone talks about, Groove Ride is it. We cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Doc and the entire Groove Ride team, for helping make our wedding so special and so much fun!" Based in San Francisco, California, United States (1,170 miles from Edmonton) 15th June 2026 Julie - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

Hiring soul bands typically costs between $310 and $6,500+, with an average of $1,700. The price depends on the number of band members, performance duration and whether the line-up includes a horn section and backing vocalists. Larger soul ensembles with brass and multiple singers typically cost more than smaller combos.

The soul bands for hire perform classic and contemporary soul music, often blending Motown, funk, R&B and disco into their sets. Many soul bands cover well-known hits from artists spanning several decades, creating a feel-good, dance-friendly setlist.

Hiring soul bands is a popular choice for weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, gala dinners and private celebrations. Soul music has broad, cross-generational appeal and is one of the most reliable genres for filling a dance floor.

The soul bands on Gig Heaven range from compact trios and quartets to larger ensembles with horn sections, backing singers and full rhythm sections. A bigger line-up delivers the powerful, rich soul sound, while smaller groups suit tighter budgets and venues.

Most soul bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, instruments and amplification. For larger events, additional equipment may be needed. For the best experience, confirm technical details with the band before booking.

Some acts work with a fixed singer and others draw from a small pool, so it is worth asking which applies before booking. Where a specific voice matters, naming it at the enquiry stage is the only way to secure it. Acts that rotate singers will normally say so and can often send recordings of each.

A four or five-piece with a strong singer fills most function rooms, and the difference at that size is closer to weight than to energy. Larger rooms and higher guest numbers are where the extra players start to matter. Guest numbers and the room are a better guide to this than the size of the budget.

A smaller group leans on voice and rhythm, so brass-driven material is either rearranged or left out. Larger line-ups cover the catalogue much as recorded, which matters when particular songs have to be in the set. Naming those songs is the quickest way to find out which size suits.

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.
