Frequently Asked Questions
Is it more expensive to work with Best Bands than to contact the groups individually?
Definitely not. The cost is the same as working directly with a band, or in many cases we can land you a better price or get some extras included free of charge.
Is it more effective to browse the bands or submit a general inquiry?
It's totally up to you. If you fill out an inquiry we can quickly get you a shortlist list of bands that are available on your date, in your price range, and selected according to your musical preferences and needs. Browsing the bands is also an effective way to connect with specific bands about pricing and availability, and get a call from the band leader. Feel free to do both if you have the time. We're here for one reason, to connect you with the band that will make your wedding/event a huge success.
Will the band in the photos/videos be the one that performs at my event, or do the groups use rotating musicians?
Our bands have the same line-up week in, week out. You can count on getting the band you booked and not a line-up of stand-ins. That being said, once you hire the musicians, all of the bands we work with are consummate professionals with seasoned and qualified substitute players at the ready should they be needed in an emergency.
Are all the bands you work with shown on the website?
Although we have a lot of great bands listed on the site we also have some extremely talented and popular options that are not. Just fill out an inquiry form and we can show you all the options available for your date and budget.
Can I choose specific songs or styles?
Absolutely. We offer full set list customization and will help guide your choices if needed.
How far in advance should I book?
The earlier you start, the more options you will have for available bands. Some folks start searching 2–3 years ahead of time. Ideally, 6–12 months ahead is perfect — we regularly help clients book amazing bands even on short notice.
