Wedding Bands for Hire in Basel

Q: How much do wedding bands cost in Basel?

The average cost of hiring wedding bands is CHF900, with prices from CHF200 to CHF2,800+. 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.

Q: What size line-ups are available for wedding bands?

The wedding bands listed on Gig Heaven range from small three or four-piece groups to larger line-ups with brass sections, backing singers and additional musicians. Smaller bands suit intimate venues and lower budgets, while larger ensembles create a bigger sound for grand receptions. Many bands offer flexible line-up options to suit different event sizes and budgets.

Q: Will wedding bands bring their own sound equipment?

Most wedding bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, microphones and any necessary amplification for standard event venues. For larger spaces or events with over 300 guests, additional sound reinforcement may be needed. It is a good idea to confirm equipment details with the band before booking, especially if the venue has specific noise restrictions or technical requirements.

Q: What genres can wedding bands play?

Most wedding bands cover a wide range of genres, from pop and rock to soul, Motown, indie and current chart hits. Some also offer jazz, swing or acoustic sets for cocktail hours and dinner. Browsing band profiles on Gig Heaven is the best way to check repertoire, and many bands will tailor their setlist to suit the style of your event.

Q: Can I contact multiple suppliers at the same time?

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard .

Lili Rhose Band "Hired Lili Rhose and her band for my wedding, they were absolutely amazing, very professional, in constant contact during my planning which made it easier to organise... brilliant music and my guests loved them!

I will definalty be booking them again for our next big event ... thank you so much Rhose and band for making my special day that much more special!!!" Based in Basel, Canton of Basel-City Kim B - Wedding

Mantequilla Tropical "Fabulous music and fabulous people, what a concert! It was such a pleasure having you!!! <3" Based in Bern, Canton of Bern (43 miles from Basel) Maja - Private Garden Party

The DooLallys "I first witnessed The DooLallys years ago at a kind of impromptu kitchen session. I think deeply soulful is the best way to describe their mix of pipes, strings, and song - seamless switches between O'Carolanesque 18th Century rave style to sweet balladeering, along with true and loving versions of traditional Irish music tunes, all layered with a knowing hedge school poetic sensibility." Based in Bern, Canton of Bern (43 miles from Basel) Tim Bradford

The Meelton "Because this band asks about the customer's wishes and really makes an effort for a successful event. Great singers and a great DJ/bass guitarist." Translated from German Based in Zürich, Canton of Zurich (48 miles from Basel) Marcel Kunz am 23. Oktober 2024 - Pensionsfeier 18.10.2024 - Zunfthaus Linde Oberstrass

Freakout6 Band "An excellent band delivering outstanding music with skilled and experienced musicians. They are friendly, approachable, and always happy to play our requests." Based in Zürich, Canton of Zurich (48 miles from Basel) Ushani - Party

Tcha Simmons & Band "Perfect musical framing Cool guys, very nice bluesy groovy music with fantastic voice. Pleasant negotiation, spontaneous and uncomplicated." Translated from German Based in Unterägeri, Canton of Zug (56 miles from Basel) Lombard Andrea - Party Concert
