The Fantasia Band

Last reviewed: August 9, 2026. Business status: Active.

The Fantasia Band is a seven-piece party band offering live music for weddings and other events across its stated market of Southwestern Ontario and Michigan. For couples comparing a Southwestern Ontario wedding band, the official website documents a repertoire spanning current dance music, older favourites, rock, country, ballads, ballroom selections and Italian music by special request.

The main lineup is complemented by smaller duo and trio options. The band also advertises ceremony music, basic DJ and MC support, stage sound and lighting, and several optional event-production services. This profile was last reviewed on August 9, 2026, using the band’s current official website; no official street address is published there.

Services and specialization

The principal offering is The Fantasia Band’s seven-piece live lineup. Its official enquiry form accepts weddings as an event type and allows couples to ask about the seven-piece band, Fantasia Duo or Trio, MaGia Duo and ceremony music. That range makes it possible to discuss more than one part of a wedding, but couples should not assume that multiple formats are included in one package.

The band states that every performance includes a member available to make announcements when needed, along with basic DJ service. Recorded music is played during breaks from the live performance. These are useful documented inclusions, although the website does not define the extent of MC duties, the DJ equipment supplied or whether either service continues before or after the band’s contracted performance window.

• Seven-piece live party band
• Duo and trio formats listed in the enquiry form
• Ceremony music available to enquire about
• Basic DJ coverage during band breaks
• A band member available for MC announcements

Repertoire and performance formats

The published song list covers popular and classic dance music, rock, country, slow songs, ballads and ballroom selections. It includes contemporary titles alongside music associated with earlier decades. Because the online list is described as only a sample of the full songbook, couples should use it to understand the general range rather than treat it as a guaranteed set list.

Traditional and contemporary Italian music is a documented specialization offered by special request. The Italian list includes selections such as “Bella Ciao,” “Tarantella,” “Come Prima,” “Gloria” and “Ti Amo.” Couples planning a multilingual or culturally specific reception should confirm which requested selections the chosen lineup can perform and whether special preparation is required.

• Published multi-decade sample repertoire
• Dance, rock, country, ballad and ballroom categories
• Traditional and contemporary Italian selections by special request
• Online song-request form for live events

Service area and who it may suit

The official site describes the band’s service area in broad terms as Southwestern Ontario and Michigan. It does not publish a detailed city list, travel radius or travel-fee policy. Windsor-area couples fall within the stated Southwestern Ontario market, but the venue address and event date should still be supplied when requesting a quote.

The seven-piece format may suit couples who want live dance music as a major part of their reception. Smaller formats may be relevant for a ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner or more compact event. Final suitability will depend on the venue’s stage area, sound restrictions, power access, schedule and guest count—all matters the website leaves for direct discussion.

• Stated market: Southwestern Ontario and Michigan
• Main seven-piece format for live event entertainment
• Smaller formats available to discuss for more intimate settings

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

The clearest documented strength is the breadth of the offering: multiple ensemble sizes, a varied published repertoire, an Italian-music specialization, basic break-time DJ coverage and MC announcements are all described on the official website. The band also says it selects sound and lighting equipment to suit the venue and function.

Optional extras listed on the site include uplighting, four cold-spark fixtures, a Magic Mirror photo booth, a custom monogram gobo and lighting and sound. The photo booth is described as offering on-site prints or digital downloads. These are concrete features, but the website does not publish package combinations, setup requirements or individual prices. Couples should also confirm venue approval and safety requirements for cold-spark equipment.

Practical limitations in the available evidence include the absence of a published business address, performance duration, break schedule, travel terms, cancellation policy and current availability calendar. These omissions are not negative findings; they are details that require confirmation before comparing proposals.

• Documented combination of live music, basic DJ coverage and announcements
• Italian repertoire available by special request
• Optional lighting, photo-booth, gobo and cold-spark services
• No public address, contract terms or availability calendar on the official site

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. The official website directs prospective clients to call Gianni for prices and availability, and its enquiry form says a band member will follow up about package options.

A useful written quote should identify the lineup, number and duration of live sets, break coverage, arrival and teardown times, sound and lighting inclusions, travel charges, taxes, deposit schedule and overtime rate. Any optional ceremony music, duo or trio performance, photo booth, uplighting, gobo or cold-spark service should be itemized so competing proposals can be compared consistently.

Current prices are not published on the official pages reviewed.

• Request a date-specific written quotation
• Ask which services are included versus optional
• Confirm deposits, taxes, travel and overtime in writing

Contact and booking

The official booking number is 519-996-3228. The website also provides an enquiry form requesting the event type, date, location, approximate guest count and services of interest. Couples can email the band through the official contact shown on its website for MC details, special song requests and other performance questions.

The site provides a downloadable wedding information form for confirmed wedding-reception clients and asks that the completed form be emailed at least one week before the wedding. Before relying on that deadline, confirm whether the contract establishes earlier dates for final song choices, introductions, vendor coordination or timeline changes.

What couples should confirm

Start by confirming that the preferred lineup and all requested musicians are available for the wedding date. Ask for a sample schedule showing live sets, breaks, DJ coverage and announcement duties. If ceremony or cocktail-hour music is needed, clarify whether the same musicians cover it and how equipment moves between spaces.

Provide the venue’s room dimensions, load-in instructions, power details, noise limits and insurance requirements. Confirm the exact sound and lighting package, space required for the seven-piece band and whether the venue permits cold-spark fixtures. Finally, put must-play songs, do-not-play choices, Italian selections, first-dance arrangements and the policy for learning new material into the agreement.

• Exact lineup and performance schedule
• Stage footprint, power, sound limits and load-in access
• MC responsibilities and DJ coverage hours
• Special-song and Italian-repertoire arrangements
• Travel, insurance, cancellation and overtime terms
• Venue approval for production extras
