Most of what decides whether a booking runs smoothly is settled before the band arrives, and it depends on the room. Venues in the United States range from function suites with a house PA and a fixed curfew to marquees and outdoor terraces where everything has to be carried in, and the same five-piece behaves quite differently in each.
A four or five-piece needs roughly 4 by 3 metres of flat, dry floor, more once a drum riser or a brass section is involved, plus two or three power sockets within reach of the stage area. Check the load-in route early, because stairs, a long carry from the car park, or a lift too small for a bass cabinet all add time, and some acts charge for it. Ask about a sound limiter before you commit to anything: a limiter set low will cut the power mid-song, and there is no way around it once you are there. Curfews work the same way, since an 11pm finish moves the whole running order earlier than most people expect.
Saturdays in peak season and the whole of December go first, often a year out, so the band you want can end up fixing your date rather than the other way round. Distance shows up on a quote as travel, and occasionally as accommodation when the finish time makes the drive home impractical. Friday and Sunday bookings widen the field considerably if the date is flexible. Ask what the travel figure covers, since some acts price it into the fee within a set radius and charge separately beyond it.
Most bookings in the United States come in around $800 for two live sets, with duos and trios below that and larger lineups with brass or extra vocalists above it. What varies more than the headline figure is what sits inside it. Check what the quote covers: travel, a DJ set or playlist between sets, and how long the band plays in total rather than how many sets they perform. Most acts take a deposit to hold the date with the balance due close to the event, and overtime is normally charged in half-hour blocks, so agree the finish time in writing rather than on the night.
The average price is $800 (USD), with most priced from $200 to $3,050+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Kenneth Stone Mr Sax
"Mr. Stone has a gift
Mr. Stone has a gift that is God given. He played the saxophone during my Godfather’s memorial and it was beautiful. I wanted something that represented my Godfather, he loved jazz music and Mr. Stone delivered. I selected 1 song and he selected the other “ Jesus is the center of my joy” this was perfect. If you’re looking for a saxophonist I highly recommend Mr. Stone.

Woods Creek Band
"Woods Creek Band is one of my favorite bands to listen to. I like how professional they are, and their choice of music always gets me moving to the beat. They play local gigs frequently so I can be a groupie. Go check them out."
The Wanderers
"We first enjoyed listening to The Wanderers during the pandemic. Since then, we’ve followed them to Palo Alto, Campbell, and San Pedro Square. Their song list appeals to all ages. They played at our son’s wedding in Jamestown and the music was awesome!! The dance floor never slowed down, and we all had a blast! We can’t thank them enough for making our special day even more special."
Soundbite
"The BEST band ever! We had such a wonderful time having SoundBite at our wedding celebration! Not only were they very easy to talk to when planning the event together, but they put on an AMAZING show. I think we had just about everyone on the dance floor at one point. I’m so grateful we found SoundBite and were able to host them at our party. I will think of them every time we have another event or someone else does. 11/10 experience! I couldn’t ask for a better time!"
Steve*ELVIS*Gold
"We had Steve Elvis come to make a surprise appearance at the cocktail hour during our Las Vegas wedding and he really set the tone for the party! We initially wanted a song or two and some photos, but he told us about his 30 minute wedding show and he really rocked the house. He did a great job at having me and my bride still being the center of it all, but brought the energy we wanted to get everyone on the dance floor. It's been about 3 weeks now, and our family and friends are still raving about what a great job he did and how much fun they had dancing with The King! Steve is a THE answer for your Las Vegas Elvis appearance!"
