Acoustic bands in Istanbul, Turkey play unplugged or lightly amplified, which suits ceremonies, drinks receptions and rooms with a sound limit. Most work from popular songs rearranged for acoustic instruments, and many offer a smaller line-up for the daytime and a fuller one after dinner.
Outdoor ceremonies, marquees and rooms with a strict noise limit are the obvious cases, because an acoustic set carries without a PA fighting the limiter. They also suit long events where the music has to sit under conversation for part of the day and lead it later. Ask whether the band brings its own small PA, since even acoustic acts usually want vocal reinforcement in a larger room.
Rates for a duo in Istanbul start at $160 and rise to $2,000+ for a five-piece with full instrumentation, with most bookings around $550. Line-up size is the main variable, followed by how many hours of playing you need and how far the band travels.
The average price for Acoustic Bands available in Istanbul, Turkey is $550 (USD). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Ixeis Afixeis
"This orchestra really exceeded our expectations at our wedding! From the first moments of their performance, the atmosphere was filled with energy and all the guests danced continuously on the dance floor. Their music kept the dance floor full and the spirit high all night long. They are the ideal choice for any wedding!
Thank you very much for everything!"
Maria Ploumi
"Maria Ploumi is an exceptional laouto player and singer, seamlessly blending traditional Greek music with contemporary influences. Her recent performance with Chrysoula K. & Púrpura was a masterclass in musicality and emotion. With her expressive laouto playing and warm vocals, Ploumi added depth and texture to a diverse repertoire spanning Greece, Argentina, Portugal, Armenia, and Italy.
The band’s unique instrumentation—kanun, flute, cello, and laouto—created a rich, immersive soundscape, with Ploumi’s precision and artistry standing out as a highlight. Her synergy with lead singer Chrysoula Kechagioglou and the rest of the ensemble was remarkable, delivering a performance that was both technically impressive and deeply moving.
Maria Ploumi’s ability to bridge musical traditions makes her a standout artist in today’s world music scene. Whether leading with her laouto or harmonizing in song, she brings an authenticity and passion that captivates audiences."
Birbillia
"During our performances on board the Caledonian Sky in Syros on May 20 and May 27, 2025, we received truly heartwarming feedback from both the guests and the ship’s personnel.
The crew told us that our show was “elegant, soulful, and engaging from beginning to end.” They praised the warm Mediterranean atmosphere we created and highlighted how our mix of Greek, Turkish, Sephardic, and cinematic music was unique yet accessible — a perfect match for their international audience.
They also mentioned how much they appreciated Eftyhia’s role as a native English speaker, noting that her introductions and communication with the guests made a real difference in creating connection and comfort throughout the evening.
From the staff side, both Nicola and Craig, along with other crew members, personally expressed how impressed they were with our professionalism, flexibility, and musical quality. They made us feel genuinely welcome and valued, and even said they would be happy to host us again in the future.
Our collaboration continues with great mutual respect and appreciation, and we look forward to more beautiful musical moments together."
