Photo of The Major B The Major B "Looking for a soulful artist to play at your event? Look no further. From the very beginning I had a good feeling about Bryan and Bella and they did not disappoint. Bella sings beautifully and Bryan is a real genius when it comes to instruments. We had a song request to start our wedding ceremony that was a bit unusual and they turned it into sth exceptionally beautiful that immediately created a great atmosphere. They also were great at the reception and we had so many guests commenting about their great music. Thanks again, Bryan and Bella, we are so glad we found you! You made our wedding very special. ♥️ V& K" Based in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia 12th September 2026 Vanessa - Wedding Photo of Jazz Bands Düsseldorf—Jazz Central Agency Jazz Bands Düsseldorf—Jazz Central Agency "Very satisfied The performance on Thursday was very enjoyable!

Highly professional, always friendly and attentive, Maya and her bandmates guided us through our New Year’s Eve gala with vocals, saxophone, guitar, and the turntables. Charming and with a wonderful sense for the guests! Many, many thanks, and we can’t wait to have you with us again soon! :-)" Based in Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia (21 miles from Cologne) Sarah - New Year‘s Eve Gala Photo of Happy & the Two Tones Happy & the Two Tones "Fantastic performance Happy & The Two Tones provided the music during our dinner, which matched our wishes perfectly. The trio has the complete package with the decoration, pleasant communication and also flexibility on the spot being very nice. Besides, Happy sings beautifully and it was lovely music to listen to. Definitely recommended" Translated from Dutch Based in Hoensbroek, Limburg, Netherlands (45 miles from Cologne) 18th March 2026 Veronique - Diner Photo of Big to the Future Big to the Future "Every year since 2013 we welcome the Big to the Future Band at our Silverlake Vineyard in Pattaya. As we only want the best for our guests, we are so glad that you tour Thailand twice every year. It is wonderful how you guys start of during dinner of our guests with a smaller setting of Big to the Future. It fits perfectly as the guests can talk with each other and listen to your smooth jazzy music. It is in perfect balance and we had many compliments for that. As the evening continues you know as the best how to step up to more danceable music and interact with our guests perfectly. There are not many bands like you that have such a huge music repertoire going from classic 20's to 60's to 90's all the way through to current top 40 hits. All high performance quality! Your singer has not only a great voice, but he is a number one entertainer and has the ability to keep everyone excited. And what to say about you horn section, they are really amazing and are for sure the cream on top of your band! Dance moves, high energy, walking through the guests in our restaurant and making music as tight as it can get, wow! You know as the best how to interact with our guests and get them on the dance floor ..... and keep them dancing until the final song, When you are on, the dancefloor stays packed, amazing! It is our privilege to have you guys here whenever possible and I have no hesitation in recommending the Big to the Future Band for any event! Our guests love you!

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring wedding bands is €950, with prices from €210 to €3,050+. The main pricing factor is the number of musicians in the band, as wedding bands range from compact three-piece acts to large ensembles with brass sections and backing vocalists. Performance duration, whether the band provides music for multiple parts of the day and any extras such as DJ sets or lighting also affect cost.

Most wedding bands perform for two to three hours of evening entertainment, usually split into sets with short breaks. The first set often begins after the meal and speeches, starting with the first dance. Longer or shorter performance times can usually be arranged, and many bands also offer background music or DJ services for earlier parts of the day.

Many wedding bands are happy to learn a specific song, such as a first dance or a song with personal significance. For the best experience, discuss this with the band as early as possible, as some songs may require additional rehearsal time. Most bands will learn at least one special request at no extra charge.

The wedding bands listed on Gig Heaven range from small three or four-piece groups to larger line-ups with brass sections, backing singers and additional musicians. Smaller bands suit intimate venues and lower budgets, while larger ensembles create a bigger sound for grand receptions. Many bands offer flexible line-up options to suit different event sizes and budgets.

Most wedding bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, microphones and any necessary amplification for standard event venues. For larger spaces or events with over 300 guests, additional sound reinforcement may be needed. It is a good idea to confirm equipment details with the band before booking, especially if the venue has specific noise restrictions or technical requirements.

Most wedding bands cover a wide range of genres, from pop and rock to soul, Motown, indie and current chart hits. Some also offer jazz, swing or acoustic sets for cocktail hours and dinner. Browsing band profiles on Gig Heaven is the best way to check repertoire, and many bands will tailor their setlist to suit the style of your event.

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.
