Photo of California Creedence California Creedence "" California Creedence " is a great band for all ages. They played at our wedding and it was a blast seeing all the people we love of all ages dancing and having a good time. They play excellent rock and country, new and classic stuff. We requested a country song for our first dance, they learned it and performed it perfectly. They are very professional to work with, showed up early and brought their own lights and sound equipment. Thanks for everything California Creedence, you made it a very special night! Bill and Eve M. – Sebastopol, Ca." Based in Modesto, California Bill and Eve M. – Sebastopol, Ca. - Wedding Photo of Regency Talent Regency Talent "Amazing!!!! Carlos was very responsive to any questions we had. The band was beyond what we expected. They were all so talented and super flexible. We’ve had issues with sound system before (this was a fundraising gala for a school district and we had an auctioneer) and Carlos made sure we had what we needed and took extra time with sound check just to make sure everything was perfect. The band played a dinner set and a 2 hour set. No breaks!! We are so grateful for Top Secret for having our event something special! We wil definitely hire them again and highly recommend them. Thank you, Top Secret" Based in Livermore, California Ava Laurora - Top Secret Band Performance -Gala Photo of Soultry Country Soultry Country "It was such a pleasure having themat our dinner/dance fundraiser event. Kim, Ron, Grant and Chris are a talented group. Kim is so great at communicating and ensuring everything was set leading up to the event.

Based in Sacramento, California 23rd September 2026 Rene R - Retirement Party - Reno Photo of Band Saptham Band Saptham "A fantastic team of superbly talented artists, and what a great performance! Rakhi's voice and singing stand shoulder to shoulder with the original recordings, capturing every nuance and emotion of the songs. The whole band was tight, professional, and clearly passionate about their music. They kept the audience engaged from start to finish. Highly recommended for any event" Based in San Francisco, California 29th September 2026 Prarthana kaur - Performance

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring wedding bands is $1,050, with prices from $240 to $3,500+. 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.
