How Much Does a Wedding Band Cost?Wedding Band SizeThe cost of the wedding band will of course depend upon how many members are in your chosen band. As a rule of thumb expect to pay around £120-£200 per band member, although the figure could be less for larger bands and more for smaller bands. Like many things in life, you get what you pay for, so beware if you get quoted a very low price by a wedding band. For example, be wary of an eight or nine piece band quoting less than £900. Travel distance to your WeddingTravelling distance will also play a part so make sure you ask bands to include travel costs when quoting for you. Obviously a wedding band based in Bristol, would charge more for playing at a wedding in London than a similar London-based band. Wedding Entertainment AgenciesAnother point to consider is that you'll typically pay 15-20% more to secure the services of a wedding band if you approach them through an entertainment agency than if you approach them directly. Agencies can open the door to a wide variety of musical acts but you will pay for the privilege, so a wedding band will cost more. |
