Photo of John Madeley - Solo Acoustic John Madeley - Solo Acoustic "John Madeley was very professional and entertaining. We would book him again in the future." Based in Center City, Pennsylvania 17th July 2026 Brett Daniels - Private Event Photo of Generation 2 Generation 2 "One of the best Bands this side of the East Coast. I will definitely hire them again." Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 7th November 2025 O. P Patterson - Private event Photo of Philly Heart and Soul Philly Heart and Soul "Due to COVID-19, we had frequent changes regarding our wedding date and wedding details. Philly Heart & Soul was not only accommodating to all of the changes we had to make on a daily basis but helped us problem solve as new challenges arose. Our entrances for the reception and first dance songs were wonderfully performed even with interesting song choices from the bridal party. We received compliments throughout the reception on the pure talent they possessed and how enjoyable they were to watch and dance to. They were full of enthusiasm, warm and friendly towards the guests, and professional throughout the night. Philly Heart & Soul is the best choice for your next event!" Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Scott Green - Daughters Wedding Photo of Seven Seven "Choosing the Se7en Band to perform at our wedding was a no-brainer! Two years ago we saw them perform at a bar and the second they played their first song, we immediately asked who they were because we were absolutely blown away by their talent. Fast forward to planning our wedding day, we HAD to book this band. The Se7en Band exceeded all of our expectations for our wedding! They kept everyone on the dance floor! Our family and friends were AMAZED by their talent, and everyone is still talking about them! In addition, the Se7en Band was a pleasure to work with. We are so thankful that we found them two years ago and even more grateful that they performed at our wedding. They are so much fun!!! If you are looking for the best wedding band ever, please look no further than The Se7en Band. All the best, Amy & Andrew" Based in Levittown, Pennsylvania (23 miles from Philadelphia) Amy & Andrew - wedding Photo of The Gumbo Gumbas The Gumbo Gumbas "New Orleans is a state-of-mind. Every year around this time of year, Mardi Gras is an explosion of joyousness. You don't have to travel down to Louisiana to feel it. Its spirit resides in Mercer County in a little town called Ewing, where Joe Grillo leads The Gumbo Gumbas on a Cajun holiday all year round. The jump-blues, zydeco, rocl'n'roll, jazz, folk strains and oh such soul are on full display wherever they play. Now you can even share that feeling, that zest for life, that passionate embodiment of the groove, in your own home. Zydeland has to be the feel-good album of the year so far. Written, arranged, produced, sung and honked on his tenor sax, Grillo imbues Zydeland with a Bourbon Street beat. He's an honorary French Quarter denizen of the night. Of course, there's always time to invoke a little Tom Waits on highlight "Can't Go Back to New Orleans" The colors mix and mingle with tuba, banjo, guitar, violin, viola, cello, trombone, accordion, piano, bass, clarinet, soprano sax, trumpet and that penetration percolation percussion. Excuse me, I got to get on up and do the boogaloo. You just can't set still for this thing." Based in Ewing, New Jersey (29 miles from Philadelphia) Mike Greenblatt music critic for NJ Sound - Zydeland Record Review Photo of Joshua Kocses Joshua Kocses "Joshua performs acoustic guitar and dual lead vocals with Sean Cox DC Duo and they are amazing. Their range of material spans from decades of performing in the New York, New Jersey and Los Angels & Orange County California area in restaurants, pubs, clubs, private parties, weddings, yacht clubs, boats and veterans/military events. Joshua is a former US Marine and that level of precision is scene and heard in their music. They interact with their audiences and make different people of all types feel welcome." Based in Princeton, New Jersey (38 miles from Philadelphia) Emily Newcastle - The Roost Creamridge, New Jersey

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring wedding bands is $1,050, with prices from $220 to $3,400+. 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.
