Re: Band Prices

Most of the bands I looked at weren't more than $5000. They can go much higher but I was trying to keep it down.
We didn't get a quote of cocktail being separate from the reception, it was all included.

Re: Band Prices

We've got a '3s a Charm Deal' going with our band - FHs sister & brother both used them for their weddings! We have 3 pcs for pre & ceremony, 3 different pcs for CH and the full 9 piece for the 4 hr reception...we're paying $6k.

This particular band normally starts at $7k and then it's extra for CH & ceremony.

Did you book a band?

Re: Band Prices

Ceremony through the end of the reception our band is 8k. Much more than we thought we would spend but I think they will be worth it.

Re: Band Prices

I just spoke to my FI. It was actually $4000. They did the ceremony, jazz forcoctail hour and mixed dj and band for the reception. I think you can do an a la carte too (where you pick and choose what you want).

Re: Band Prices

The mystic is under $5000. this includes 1 or 2 pieces for ceremony, 1 or 2 pieces for cocktail hour, and 8 pieces for 4 hour affair.I believe you may be able to also sign them as a 5 piece band.h Very reasonable and they sound great. They have soundbites on their website. good luck.

$8500 for ceremnoy, CH and reception. Alot of $$ - I hope it's worth it!! We also got a good price from them because we're off-season.

Re: Band Prices

Price per bands vary- it all depends upon what you are looking for. I had a 12 piece band and the price was $12,000. This is because we added 'specialty' people- we had 2 different guitar players, a guy that played guitar and also did all the Italian songs. We had a female vocalist as well.

Re: Band Prices

Our band is $ 6800 for a five hour reception. A bit more than we wanted to spend but worth every penny.

Re: Band Prices

I think ours will be under $3000. My dad booked friends of his (he's a club date musician).

Jennyhet: My best friend knew ADA. Her friend Carmelo who was with Imagine was good friends with them. I heard they were great.
