How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Soul Band in France?
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 France soul band is €4,495. Some bands will be much 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.
What Kind of Music Do the Funk, Motown and Soul Bands Perform?
Our France-based soul & funk bands perform mostly soul music, but also cover songs from other genres of music. This includes Motown, disco, pop RnB and occasionally some hip hop.
The bands will cover artists such as Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Luther Vandross and Lionel Richie, as well as modern artists including Bruno Mars and Beyonce.
Reviews from local events in France
“Funky Fresh exceeded all expectations! We loved their style and how they were with us throughout the day. The sax player was brilliant, he played during the cocktail hour as well as bringing up the mood of everyone after dinner to get the party started. We had non stop dancing all night and the guests couldn't get enough of the band. Couldn't have chosen anyone better, would 100% recommend for anyone else wanting the fun, upbeat band!”
“The Bordeaux Soul and Funk Band is outstanding! Fix the Music offered us various choices for our daughter’s wedding, and even though the band was more expensive than the others, they were worth every penny. They adapted to the mood of the evening playing classic tracks from the 50s to the present, and were relaxed about starting later when the speeches ran late. They are a highly talented group of musicians and I would highly recommend them”

“Amazing music - thoroughly loved their performance! All the guests, family and friends, my husband loved the band from start to finish! Thanks again”
“The singers and frankly all the musicians were incredible and had our group - none who are the dancing type - on the dance floor for their entire set. Everyone kept commenting how amazing the band was long after they had gone.”
“AWESOME As always!!!”
“Hyperfunk is a very fun, very danceable band with a variety of music that is both familiar and new. The lead singer was solid and the band tight. Our guests had a fantastic time and danced for hours.”
“I had the luxury of working with Funky Fresh over the weekend for a wedding I was planning and I would like to commend on their punctuality, professionalism and flexibility to adapt to last minutes changes. From the starts, it was very easy to communicate as they responded quickly, and they were happy to meet the requests of the clients. On the day, they came earlier than expected because it worked better to the organisation timing and there was no issue. They were smartly dressed and they were all set and ready to play before guests walked into the drinks reception. In the evening, they had great energy and the DJ managed the dancefloor well! We had a small incident where one of the guests, who was supposed to be DJ-ing, did not have the compatible equipment but they were all patient and helpful. Would definitely recommend them!”
“We hired The Bordeaux Soul & Funk Band to perform on the afternoon of our wedding. Result: all the guests were dancing in the sun. A perfect memory!”

“Funk Mode were sensational at our wedding at Chateau de Seguin. They performed for 3.5 hours straight and barely any guests were not on the dance floor that entire time. They also helpfully supported with some playlists during the day. Amazing from start to finish - thank you all!”
“Hyperfunk were amazing!!! They were the life of the party for our wedding in France. So many of our wedding guests were asking us how we found them. We were so glad to have booked them for our wedding. They even allowed us to sing some songs on stage which was very meaningful for my family members at our wedding. I highly recommend booking Hyperfunk, they play a great mix of modern and old songs. The band manager, Chris, was also great to work with, he was very organised and responsive throughout all the planning.”
