Reviews of Soul Bands available in Maidstone

5/5 from 821 reviews
Photo of Luminous Duo Luminous Duo "We booked the Duo for our wedding in Barcelona. Before the ceremony the Duo were incredibly helpful and flexible in helping finalise the set list for our welcome drinks and cocktail hour and the equipment they would require. We were also fortunate that the Duo learnt our first dance song, sending over a demo well before the ceremony so that we could check that we were comfortable dancing to it. On the day, both Nadine and Lumai were brilliant. They were exactly the style of performer we were looking for, with their bossa-nova sound setting the perfect atmosphere for our guests on their arrival and during our cocktail hour. We’ll always remember that we were fortunate enough to have a live band perform our first dance - thank you so much for making this happen!" Based in London, England (32 miles from Maidstone) 19th September 2026 Grace and Tom - Wedding Photo of D.Banana Band D.Banana Band "We were absolutely thrilled to have this band play at our wedding reception! We requested reggae love songs because my partner and I both love old school reggae and their reggae rhythms were infectious, everyone was up dancing from the very first song, young and old. They played such a perfect mix of classic and well-loved tunes also. They sounded amazing, and were so professional and friendly throughout .They really made our day feel so special and joyful, we can’t recommend them enough! Thank you for giving us such wonderful memories." Based in London, England (32 miles from Maidstone) 8th August 2026 Jaslyn E. - Wedding Photo of Midé Midé "We had Midé at the weekend for our church wedding at the weekend, and I cannot recommend him enough. His communication prior to the wedding was amazing, he couldn’t have been more helpful. He went above and beyond on the day and his performance was even better than I knew it would be! Many of our guests told us it was their favourite party of the day watching him perform. If you’re looking for a performer for your wedding, he is a MUST. Thank you for making our day so special Midé" Based in London, England (32 miles from Maidstone) 27th July 2026 Liz East - Wedding Photo of Owen And Masie Pure Vibes Owen And Masie Pure Vibes "What a great PA performance! Professional and listened to what we wanted and the type of party we wanted. They really brought a great vibe to the gathering. Lived up to their name!"

Filippo is a superb guitarist and Azu's voice and performance is second to none! They compliment each other so well and really made it a night to remember. Without doubt, I wouldn't hesitate to book them again or strongly recommend them for a wedding or party. Thank you The Mirrors for the great evening and forever memories!!" Based in London, England (32 miles from Maidstone) 2nd April 2026 Will T - Birthday party Photo of The NeoRoots Function Band The NeoRoots Function Band "We hired the NeoRoots for our wedding and would definitely do it again. The performance, song choice, reading the room and crowd were so excellent that they ended up skipping their well deserved break between sets to keep playing and even kept on going after the agreed time. We had just under 100 people at our wedding and everyone loved them and danced to their songs for hours on end. The live performance was just excellent and you could see that they love what they do. I can not recommend them enough and if I ever have a big function I will definitely book them again. Thank you NeoRoots for our lovely evening hand great party." Based in London, England (32 miles from Maidstone) 30th March 2026 Oscar - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

Hiring soul bands typically costs between £160 and £2,950+, with an average of £850. 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.
