Melbourne Wedding Band FAQs

Should I have a band or DJ at my wedding?

Having a live band or DJ at your wedding is the perfect way to add to celebrations and create beautiful memories. Whether it’s entertaining your guests at the reception, or setting a party vibe so everyone can dance the night away, our professional musicians will tailor a unique setlist to suit the mood you want to create.

What types of wedding bands are available for hire, and which genres do they specialise in?

At our boutique entertainment agency, we have a range of wedding bands for hire in Melbourne – from soul and funk, to jazz, pop, acoustic duos, and covers bands ready to play hit after hit. Whichever vibe you wish to set – from intimate acoustics and elegant, sophisticated jazz and swing, to more of a party vibe – our versatile musicians are up for the task.

How far in advance should I book a wedding band for my big day?

Most wedding clients tend to book 6-9 months in advance. Obviously there are exceptions and some will wait much closer to the date, while others book over a year in advance.

Can I request specific songs or a custom setlist for the wedding band to perform at my celebration?

Of course! At Blue Avenue, our bands are dedicated to helping you have the perfect day with the wedding of your dreams. We’ll work with you to build a unique setlist filled with the songs and styles you love.

How much should you pay for a band at a wedding?

When it comes to wedding band hire costs, Blue Avenue offers a range of affordable packages to choose from. As a rough guide, a band with 4 or 5 musicians will cost anywhere from $3,000 - $4,000 + GST for a standard 4 or 5 hour event. For larger bands, each additional musician will generally cost around $500 - $600 + GST. And DJs can vary from $1,300 - $2,000 + GST for a 5 hour booking.

If booking for a wedding reception, we also have acoustic duos who can perform for the ceremony. Generally this will cost an additional $400 - $600 + GST on top of a reception booking. For a 4 or 5 hour event, the acoustic duo will be around $2,000 - $2,500 + GST.

Speak to us today for a more personalised quote based on your venue and location.

Do wedding bands provide their own sound and lighting equipment, or do I need to arrange it separately?

Our professional musicians supply all sound and lighting equipment, so you can focus on what matters – which is enjoying the big day. We’re here to provide a seamless, stress-free experience – our team will come in and set up, then pack up, all equipment in the most fuss-free way.

Can wedding bands also act as MCs or provide DJ services during their breaks or after their performance?

Many of our bands have a member that will perform basic MC duties that cover all of the announcements on the night and keep things running on track. Most charge around $300 - $500 + GST for this service.

We do recommend a family member or friend perform these duties to add a personal touch, however if that is not an option and you don’t want to engage a professional MC, the band option is a good middle ground.

We used this service for our wedding and hired masterblasters and Jace.

They were absolutely fantastic on the day, surpassing our expectations and delivering a brilliant performance throughout the entire day. They along with Anthony were a calm and helpful presence from the get go.

Would highly recommend for a wedding day

Watched Downtime performed at a Christmas party I was at, hands down the best Jazz band i've heard in Melbourne. Will use them for my next event :)

Soul City were the entertainment at our work event and they were incredible! The dancefloor was full and the selection of songs were a hit with everyone. We will definitely book them again next year!

Working with Anthony was an absolute breeze. We were privileged enough to have House of Soul play for our wedding and they were beyond fantastic. Ricky, Carla and the band had everyone dancing, engaged and in awe of their talent. Not only are they talented but they are beautiful people. From the moment we got in contact with Anthony we knew we had made a great decision. He had everything under control and was liaising with the venue to ensure a perfect night. We couldn’t recommend enough. We are thinking of the next event we can quickly organise just to do it all again!

My partner and I booked Downtime band for our wedding through Blue Avenue Entertainment in March this year and were absolutely thrilled with them. Anthony (the manager) was very accommodating, friendly and professional, and a very efficient communicator which made the booking process very stress-free which we were so grateful for during our wedding planning! The band were absolutely incredible - really gifted at what they do and they really understood the vibe we were going for - the set list they put together was perfect. So many of our guests gave us feedback on how fantastic the band was, and everyone was up and dancing which really made our night. I’m so glad we decided to book with them and highly recommend them!

We booked a band via Blue Avenue Entertainment for our wedding. I am so glad that we did! Anthony (the manager) was great. He was very organised and easy to communicate with. When the band we had booked cancelled 8 weeks out from the wedding, Anthony very swiftly found a replacement band that were even better than the original! I really recommend booking via Blue Avenue Entertainment. Thanks Anthony!

OMG what a treat it was to have Downtime at a recent wedding I was photographing! Their music was the perfect addition to the reception :)

The band members are incredibly talented! They were a hit with the guests and I loved capturing the joy and energy they were giving off. They were also super friendly and easy to work with, making my job as a photographer a breeze!

I highly recommend these guys for any events :)
