FixTheMusic is run by a team of musicians who have hand-picked each band and invited them to join our roster of talent. We have curated Portugal's finest selection of soul bands and made it simple and secure for you to hire a soul band or Motown band for your wedding or private event in Portugal.
Our groups are composed of some of Portugal's most in-demand soul singers (both male and female). They have appeared on live national television (including singers who have won national singing competitions), tour Europe with international bands and perform on stage at some of Portugal's most popular musicals.
Some of the singers in our soul bands are American citizens – which means you get an authentic soul accent during the performance.
Each Portuguese soul band on FixTheMusic has years of professional experience performing at all kind of events, including destination weddings, corporate events, international conventions and product launches.
Our soul bands are in particularly high demand to entertain at wedding receptions in Portugal.


Soul bands tend to be more expensive than regular covers bands. This is because a soul band usually consists of more musicians and instrumentalists in order to create the authentic soul and funk sound.
Most songs within the soul and funk band repertoire demand instruments such as a trumpet, saxophone and trombone.
You would probably want to book a band with two or more singers. Having at least one male and one female soul singer in the band allows the soul band to perform a much wider range of repertoire and songs.
This means that the soul band you hire could consist of 6 or more musicians and singers.
The average cost of hiring a Portugal soul band is €3,650. Some bands will be cheaper (e.g. if you don't book a horn section and only choose one singer), and other soul bands charge more than this depending on the size of band and their experience.







“Woodsmockers were an absolute game changer for our wedding. They understood our crowd perfectly and leaned into the energy, keeping everyone dancing around the pool and creating an unforgettable atmosphere. Our guests couldn't stop talking about them and the beautiful, authentic energy they brought throughout the day. We are so grateful to have had them as part of our wedding, and honestly can't imagine how our celebration would have bee without them. They made it truly unforgettable. HIGHLY recommend.”
“Swing High provided the most playful and colourful atmosphere for our birthday gathering. They were very professional when it came to communication and turned up with plenty of time to set up. They played almost solidly for three hours and everyone commented on how talented they were and how sweet they sounded. We were so happy that we had chosen them! Thank you Swing High for your presence and your beautiful music. X”
“We had this amazing Bossa Nova band perform during our cocktail hour and reception, and they were a huge hit! Their smooth sound created the perfect atmosphere, adding a sophisticated and relaxed vibe to the afternoon. Guests couldn’t stop complimenting the music. They truly made our celebration unforgettable, and we highly recommend them!”
“We had Velvet Sax play at our day 2 and he absolutely made the day, he was just incredible and got everyone up on the dance floor. I would highly recommend him for any occasion.”
“The Kingmakers were AMAZING! They performed at my wife and I's wedding at Penha Longa and truly made the day special. The band brought an incredible energy from start to finish - there was no better way to start the dance floor! Every song was an absolute hit. The music, atmosphere and performance was fantastic. They really know how to read a crowd and keep the party going. Our guests had so much FUN - we keep getting compliments from our friends/family on how fantastic the Kingmakers were. We couldn’t have asked for a better band and would highly recommend The Kingmakers to anyone looking for an unforgettable night!”
“We had our wedding earlier this month! They were absolutely brilliant! Can’t thank them enough, they got involved with the crowd and were amazing! Really great set list too, would 100% recommend!!! Thanks again guys! Kim and Tom!”
“This crew brought the roof down in Quinta De Sant’Ana for our wedding last weekend. The whole dance floor was jumping, it was amazing! Thank you so much for your talent and for your ability to get the crowd going! The band has a very long list of songs to choose from including lots of crowd favourites! You will not regret booking Crazy Socks!”
“Fantastic band, full of energy, top quality performance, the dancefloor was full from start to finish! Everyone commented on how good they were, definitely recommend!”
“Piero and his team could not have provided us a better time at our wedding. They were engaging, dynamic, and fun! They assisted with our ceremony, cocktail hour, and live music after dinner. Each part of our day was made special by the Dance Dynasty team. They were easy to work with, flexible, and communicative. I could not recommend this band and team more. Amazing musicians!”
“Jam Rock were absolute perfection for our wedding in Portugal! From start to finish, they brought incredible energy that kept the dance floor packed all night long. The whole setlist was brilliant, packed with hit after hit, and the energy of the lead singer, Laura, was infectious. She completely captivated the crowd and had everyone fully engaged from the very first song. We had a huge contingent of Irish guests, and Jam Rock’s rendition of "Zombie" by The Cranberries was an absolute highlight of the night. On top of their existing repertoire, they went above and beyond by learning a few custom requests for us, including "The Promised Land" by Bruce Springsteen, which they executed flawlessly.”
“We booked DJ Lisbon for our wedding at Forte da Crismina. We felt very well taken care of by him. He helped us make the day perfect. His planning, tips, and friendly demeanour were a huge help to us. The music—from the cocktail hour through dinner and on to the party—was exactly what we wanted. We would recommend him again and again.”
“Rapture were absolutely amazing at our wedding! They even learned our first dance song which made it so special to have performed live. My dad plays drums and they let him take the drums for a song too, which was so much fun! Could not recommend them enough, they bring such a great energy and are fantastic performers! Sian and Dan.”
