Q: How much do wedding bands cost in Bendigo?

The average cost of hiring wedding bands is $1,550, with prices from $320 to $4,900+. The main pricing factor is the number of musicians in the band, as wedding bands range from compact three-piece acts to large ensembles with brass sections and backing vocalists. Performance duration, whether the band provides music for multiple parts of the day and any extras such as DJ sets or lighting also affect cost.

Q: How many hours does a wedding reception band typically perform?

Most wedding bands perform for two to three hours of evening entertainment, usually split into sets with short breaks. The first set often begins after the meal and speeches, starting with the first dance. Longer or shorter performance times can usually be arranged, and many bands also offer background music or DJ services for earlier parts of the day.

Q: Can wedding bands learn a specific song for our event?

Many wedding bands are happy to learn a specific song, such as a first dance or a song with personal significance. For the best experience, discuss this with the band as early as possible, as some songs may require additional rehearsal time. Most bands will learn at least one special request at no extra charge.

Standard Procedure Band "From the time of our booking mid 2024 to our event in late March 2025, Leighton Gates has just been superb to work with in all aspects of our event planning. Saturday night was just brilliant with our 450 Rotarians and Rotaractors dancing the night away. From the second song onwards, we danced until the last song at nights end. Honi and Phil and the Standard Procedure band were just brilliant and did not miss a note! Thank you Leighton and your team and we look forward to seeing - and hearing you again soon!" Based in Bendigo, Victoria Peter Rawlings - Rotary District 9815 District Conference

The Knots "I highly recommend choosing The Knots to play for any of your upcoming events. We had Jessie and Tim as an acoustic duo play at our wedding and they were absolutely incredible! Jessie has a stunning voice and they chose the perfect songs to play at all times all night to make sure the guests had a great time. They really were the icing on the top of an already amazing day and we couldn’t have been happier for choosing them. Thank you so much Jessie and Tim, you guys are legends!" Based in Bendigo, Victoria Kareena J - Wedding

Andrew Borg Music. Solo Singer/guitarist "Chloe's Wedding in Pentland Hills, Nov 2024 Andrew was incredible. We hired him for both my dad's 60th and then my wedding a few weeks later and both times he blew us away. All of our guests were commenting on how good he was. We just let him do his thing and he gauged the audience and played the perfect music. We not only love his style and voice but him as a person, he was an absolute delight to have on our special days."

High Society Jazz Orchestra "What an entertaining band last night at the VJC at Clayton RSL. The High Society Jazz Orchestra played a magical mix of Big Band numbers from a number of eras. They not only played well, but looked the part in their dinner suits and lovely dresses. The music kept dancers on the floor all night and the audience looked very happy with the music - even the children were enjoying the night!"
