Photo of Ginger & Tonic Ginger & Tonic "The last show we saw was Gold Dust Woman, but I have been to almost all the shows and they keep getting better. Beautiful Charlotte and the talented band are such a great secret. Don't tell all the tourists! Alexa and I love squeezing into the Blue Door, it feels like a French cabaret, only funnier!! I always have a good buzzy earworm stuck in my head for days. Keep up the good work G&T xx 11 out of 10!!" Based in Arrowtown, Otago (597 miles from Hamilton) 29th September 2026 Sean Drader Photo of Beach Symphony Beach Symphony "Beach Symphony was an incredible addition to our wedding. Their versatility and talent truly shone through, seamlessly blending different genres to create the perfect atmosphere. From elegant classical pieces during the ceremony to lively tunes that got everyone dancing at the reception, they were exceptional. Their professionalism and ability to adapt to the vibe of the event made our day even more memorable. Highly recommend this talented band for any occasion!" Based in Manly, New South Wales, Australia (1,369 miles from Hamilton) 26th December 2025 Ashley - Wedding, Blue Mountains, January 2025 Photo of Duo Acoustic Duo Acoustic "The band were amazing and really made our night. The guests were really enjoying the music as they are lively and the songs choice were great. Ed and Simone set up everything by themselves and Iet me worry free, also very easy to deal with, they even asked me what would i like them to wear also. They were perfectly in tune and everything was excellent." Based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (1,372 miles from Hamilton) 21st September 2026 Le Anh Nguyen - Wedding at Le Montage, Iron Cove Bay Photo of The Graduates The Graduates "We recently hired The Graduates for our corporate event to provide jazz music during our cocktail event. Mike was super helpful easy to deal with in the lead up to the event, and the band were fantastic on the night and our guests loved the music! Highly recommended, we will definitely be using them for our next event." Based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (1,372 miles from Hamilton) 27th July 2026 Cherish - Corporate Event Photo of Slumberjacks Slumberjacks "The band members, very respectful and responsible, arrived on time and were very professional at all times. But honestly, we felt very disappointed that when contacting this band, we were specific about confirming if they played certain songs, certain artists, including rock and roll songs, which was the main concept of the party including decoration, etc. A party obviously centered on the birthday person for their 80th birthday, and the band played a selection of music that wasn’t what we requested. So, sorry for the honesty, but in that sense, we were very very disappointed. The idea was to hear the birthday person’s favorite songs, and that didn’t happen. That was the main reason we decided to invest in a band instead of going to a nightclub to listen to random music." Based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (1,372 miles from Hamilton) 14th July 2026 Loren - Birthday Photo of Liz Player Jazz Singer Liz Player Jazz Singer "Could not be happier with Liz and the duo that sang and played at my wife's 50th Birthday arranged at last minute - highly recommend them."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring wedding bands is $1,900, with prices from $390 to $6,500+. 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.
