Bands based close to your venue usually quote less, because travel time and any overnight costs are built into the fee. Ask what a quote covers before comparing two acts: some include PA and stage lighting, others price them separately.

Soul Bands in BostonParty bands in Boston, Massachusetts, United States play popular music across several decades, from Motown and classic rock to current chart hits, adjusting the setlist and energy to suit the room. Also called function bands, these acts usually run to 3 to 6 musicians and are booked for weddings, birthdays, corporate functions and private parties.
Set structure varies more than most people expect. A typical evening booking is two 45-minute sets with a break, and many bands supply a DJ playlist to cover the gap so the music never stops. Confirm how early the act needs access for setup, whether the venue has a sound limiter, and whether the band will learn a specific song for a first dance.
Rates for function bands in Boston range from $240 to $3,950+, with the average booking at $1,100. Band size is the biggest factor: a three-piece costs less than a six-piece with brass or a second vocalist. Performance length, travel distance and whether the act supplies its own PA and lighting all move the figure.
The average price for Party Bands available in Boston, Massachusetts, United States is $1,100 (USD). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

The Midtown Horns
"Thank you Greg,
For appreciating our event and our property.
The truth is, I am one of the lucky ones who got to marry their best friend. It's true love through and through, and I think that is why things were just destined to work out as beautifully as they did.
I think you will appreciate this, the next day, Jay said, "that was the best wedding I have ever been to. I had to laugh thinking to myself, "I wonder how the groom feels"!!! ����!
But I knew it was going to be terrific when two days prior this incredible rainbow engulfed our house!!! Auspicious indeed!!!
All the best to you and your awesome band!

LoVeSeXy tribute 2 the music of PRINCE
"This group is over the top good. I see a lot of tribute bands at the Riviera Theater in North Tonawanda and I believe this tribute band is amongst the BEST tribute bands out there. The female guitar player and sax player are great. I can’t wait to see them again, and that Prince/ Morris Day guy really has the moves. See them if you can, it will be a great time."
