Questions about pricing, lineups and offers
How much does a live band with 4 to 5 musicians cost?
The cost depends on the event type, playing time, technical setup, venue, travel, schedule and organisational framework.

The technical scope is planned according to the venue and included in the individual offer where appropriate.
How much does an event band with 8 to 11 musicians cost?

Which lineup is suitable for around 80 guests?
For around 80 guests, a compact to medium-sized lineup is often suitable, depending on the room, programme and desired impact. A smaller lineup can work well for reception and dinner, while a medium-sized live band may be better if a dance floor or stronger party atmosphere is planned.

How do I get an offer for a corporate event with sound and lighting equipment?
For an individual offer, helpful details include date, venue, guest count, event type, approximate schedule, desired musical phases and whether sound and lighting equipment are already available at the venue or should be provided by the band.
Which lineup suits a milestone birthday with around 80 guests?
