Bands for Hire in Los Angeles – Live Music for Every Occasion

You may be wondering, “How much does it cost to hire a wedding band in Los Angeles?” Our wedding bands range from $7,000 to $15,000+, depending on the act. We understand that every wedding is unique, and our pricing reflects the quality of our talented musicians and the level of customization we offer.

Our rates include everything from sound equipment to travel expenses, so you won’t be surprised by any hidden fees. Our typical booking policy requires a 50% retainer fee and a signed contract at the time of booking to reserve your wedding band.

Yes, you can speak with one of our booking agents to determine if the chosen band can accommodate special requests. Please note that this may affect the performance cost, as the band might need additional rehearsal time to prepare.

Choosing between a band and a DJ for your event involves considering the type of atmosphere and experience you wish to create. Bands bring a vibrant, live performance energy that can make your event feel more dynamic and personalized. They captivate guests with both visual and auditory experiences but require breaks during their sets and may play versions of songs that differ from the original recordings, which could impact guest engagement on the dance floor.

Conversely, DJs offer a seamless flow of music with minimal interruptions and the flexibility to play a wide variety of tracks as originally recorded, ensuring that guests hear the versions they know and love. This can maintain high energy and keep the dance floor active. DJs can also adapt quickly to the mood of the crowd, altering their playlist to encourage more dancing and participation.

Ultimately, the choice depends on your specific needs and the atmosphere you envision for your event. Bands offer a unique and engaging presence, while DJs provide continuous entertainment and song variety. At Extraordinary, we can assist you in making the best choice to ensure a memorable event experience, whether it involves the electrifying presence of a live band or the versatile sounds of a DJ. For those still undecided, combining a live band with a DJ might be the perfect solution, allowing you to enjoy the best of both worlds—live music’s energy and the DJ’s musical variety.

Each act has unique setup and rehearsal needs. Generally, we require at least two hours for setup before a performance begins. Larger bands or those needing a sound check may require additional time to prepare. Please coordinate with your booking agent to ensure the band’s timing requirements align with your event logistics.

The space required for a band’s performance depends on several factors, including the size of the act and the instruments used. Larger venues that need a more robust sound system may also affect space requirements. Be sure to check with your booking agent for exact space needs to ensure everything fits seamlessly into your event setup.
