FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a band?
The actual price of a band for any specific event will depend on factors such as the size and popularity of the band, the season and date of the event, the location of the event and travel distance for the band, and the equipment and logistical requirements of the performance. Usually the price is negotiated taking into account the above factors.
Prices start from 15’000/- for a hotel or club performance and from 25’000/- for a wedding, birthday or corporate function.
How do I hire a band?
If you have a specific band in mind, please contact the band leader (see contacts in the profiles). If you need advise on which band is best for you then please contact the MMC club.
How long can I expect the band to play?
Wedding and special events bands typically charge one fee for up to a 4-hour "block" of event time , which includes the band's performance sets and any breaks. All wedding and special event party bands that bring their own sound equipment can DJ a pre-set playlist on these breaks via iPod or mp3 player that either the band or you can provide. Bands will always attempt to schedule any break around a "natural break" in the event schedule, such as dinner service, speeches or toasts, cake cutting, etc. In most cases, the actual time spent on stage can vary from 3 hours to 3 1/4 hours depending on the schedule and flow of a 4-hr timeline, with typical sets averaging from 45 to 75 mins each (usually 3-4 sets), and breaks averaging 15-25 mins each (2-3 breaks). Every band will always try to adjust their performance set and break schedule to fit the flow of your event. Some bands also offer a three hour continuous music (no breaks) booking option, and most bands can offer overtime options beyond four hours for an additional fee.
What does the bands fee include?
The only other band cost that clients typically incur are for meals and non-alcoholic beverages during the event. There are no taxes involved in booking a band.
Does the band come with all equipment?
Yes, the band usually brings all equipment and needs about one hour to set-up.
