Questions about weddings
How long does a wedding band play?
A wedding band usually accompanies several parts of the celebration such as the reception, dinner and party. Typical playing times range from three to five hours of live music.

The cost depends on the lineup, playing time, technical equipment, travel and organisational effort. Smaller formations are more affordable than larger live bands with several singers and musicians.
Band or DJ for a wedding?
A live band creates a special atmosphere because the music is created live and can react to the audience. DJs, on the other hand, offer a very wide song selection. Many weddings combine both.

Popular wedding bands are often fully booked 12 to 18 months in advance, especially for dates between May and September.
