How far in advance should we book a performer?
To ensure availability, we recommend booking a wedding live band or specific performer as early as possible, especially during peak wedding season. Ideally, reservations should be made 6-12 months in advance. However, we can often accommodate last-minute requests, so don’t hesitate to fill out the inquiry form even if your wedding is approaching. 📅✍️
How long do live performances last?
As with most aspects of planning, this depends on your preferences, budget, and the length of your wedding. Standard live music sets are 40-45 minutes with 15-20 minutes breaks in between, typically performed in two sets. A wedding DJ and sound technician ensure a seamless flow between sets, preventing sudden shifts in music style, volume, or atmosphere.
