Photo of NEXUS Band Live shows Booking now open NEXUS Band Live shows Booking now open "What. A. Night!" The Nexus Groove Band absolutely lit up our private party! From the first song to the last encore, the energy, the professionalism, and the sheer talent of this group were beyond anything we expected. We wanted something modern, fresh, and truly engaging — and that’s exactly what we got. The music was fantastic — vibrant, stylish, and completely in tune with the mood of the evening. Anastasia, the lead vocalist, didn’t just sing — she set the tone for the entire night. Her presence was magnetic, and her voice? Absolutely unforgettable. The girls in our group haven’t stopped talking about it — everyone was in huge, huge, huge awe! It wasn’t just a performance, it was a full-on experience that made the night truly special. Thank you, Nexus Groove Band, for making our celebration one for the books. You helped turn a great night into an unforgettable memory. Let’s go! – With love and gratitude, Your European fans 💃🕺" Based in Antalya (299 miles from Istanbul) Your European fans!!! - Moda Jazz Photo of Eva Sakellari Eva Sakellari "We had our wedding in Greece last year, and I dare say hiring Ms Sakellari was certainly one of the best decisions we made. Eva is nothing short of amazing in every aspect of her work, even down to the smallest detail. Kind and proactive, very easy to work with, both her and her band are willing to go the extra mile in order to provide the best sevice possible, including on-the-spot demands from the guests (by the way, their own version of John Legend's 'All of Me' is fantastic, made even my father-in-law cry ;) ). Amazing performance, extremely talented musicians, enjoyable playlist to cater for every taste out there, this lady is the real deal. Thoroughly recommended :)" Based in Athens, Attica, Greece (349 miles from Istanbul) Ben Photo of "Bob et Lou" "Bob et Lou" "Bob & Lou are amazing! This is an extremely talented duet, who own a vast repertoire (jazz, swing, rock, latin) and they've delivered a great performance to our party. Bo mastets the saxophone and Lou has an incredible presence and voice. Everything was in harmony and the result was magical!!! Thank U Guys!!!"

From soul to pop-rock, from great Italian tunes to their dance music corner… everything was perfect. The sound quality was also noteworthy, but never intrusive! We'll definitely be contacting them again." Based in Bari, Apulia, Italy (630 miles from Istanbul) 15th July 2026 Andrea Sunner - Private dinner party

Frequently asked questions

Hiring soul bands typically costs between $220 and $4,050+, with an average of $1,100. 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.
