Wedding band - what does a wedding band cost?
Theme: Wedding music, tips & tricks
When the party needs to culminate, there are few things quite like a live band. A wedding band brings energy, presence and a real concert atmosphere to the room - something that no playlist can completely replace. The musicians react to the guests, crank it up when the dance floor gets going, and create little musical moments that make your wedding party unique.
But what does a wedding band cost and how do you find the right solution for your budget?
What does a wedding band cost?
And live band for weddings can vary greatly in price. The price depends mainly on the size of the band and how long they play. An acoustic duo for the reception is at the lower end of the spectrum, starting at £7,000, while an party band with five to seven musicians, lights and sound system are at the slightly higher end, starting at 12,000 DKK.
One of the great strengths of a band is its flexibility. A duo can create intimacy and charm during dinner, while a larger wedding band can transform any room into a dance floor with a concert atmosphere.
Factors affecting the price
When researching wedding band prices, there are some crucial parameters:
- The size of the band: When a band consists of more musicians, you get a fuller and more varied sound where the instruments can complement each other and create a concert-like experience. This often makes for an even bigger party atmosphere - but it also means the price will be higher compared to a smaller line-up
- Playing time: A band playing three sets of 45 minutes costs more than a shorter event such as a wedding ceremony
- Experience and repertoire: Professional musicians with years of experience and a wide repertoire often charge more - in return, they can read the audience and ensure a packed dance floor.
Equipment: Does the band bring their own sound and lighting system? This can be part of the package and affect the overall price.
Duo, quartet or big party band?
Duo
A duo or trio is ideal for an intimate setting or as background music during a reception or dinner. Here you get presence and a personalised touch.
Quartet
A quartet is fuller and can easily lift the dance floor. It's a popular choice for brides and grooms who want to dance and party, but still want to keep the budget moderate.
Party band
A large party band with five to seven musicians provides a full concert experience. The energy is high, the sound is massive and the variety is great. It's the solution if you want to make sure the dance floor is never empty.
Choose the genre and style to suit your guests
One of the most important choices is not only the size of the band, but also the genre they play. The music should reflect both you as a couple and the guests you invite.
And jazz band can deliver the energy to keep the party going all night long. One lounge belt can add an extra edge during the meal, while a pop/cover band plays the greatest hits that everyone can sing along to - whether it's 80s/90s hits or if the audience wants to hear the big new hits.
At Limunt, we help you find a band that suits your guests' tastes - so both grandparents and friends will want to hit the dance floor.
The value of live band - why choose it?
There's a special magic about having musicians on stage playing live. Guests feel the atmosphere, see the musicians go wild and become part of the experience. It's the interaction between band and audience that makes the difference - and makes a wedding band an investment many couples never regret.
As one customer put it after a wedding through Limunt:
"I have participated in several events booked through Limunt. It has always been of high quality, with super musicians, and events where the atmosphere was formidably good. - I highly recommend Limunt."
- Inge Hajslund
One band costs more than one DJ - but many couples find that it's the band's energy and presence that guests remember long afterwards.
How to get the most out of your budget
If you're considering a band, it's worth thinking about:
- Should the band cover the whole day, with split performances for e.g. the weddingor only deliver the party to the dance floor when you're done with the food.
- Do you want to combine with a soloist for the ceremony or a DJ to take over when the band ends?
- What genres best suit you and your guests - If you're into the 80s and love songs like Take on me - A-ha, Or are you more into the 00s with Justin Timberlake - maybe a mix - we'll make sure it's customised just for you.
By clarifying these things in advance, you can find a band that fits your exact framework and budget.

The most frequently asked questions for us!
The name Limunt originated as a contraction of the words Tove Music Entertainment. We have booked music since 2016 through the concepts Jazzkollektivet, Popkollektivet, Strygerkollektivet etc., but decided in 2022 to bring the activity under Limunt and create a better coherence and clarity of our many different offers.
We handpick our musicians from the great Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and German talent pool. In the administration, we all have a background as professional musicians in a wide range of genres. Through our large network, the Danish conservatories, jam sessions throughout the country and by constantly keeping a finger on the pulse of the Danish music scene, we can ensure a high level every time. We make a virtue of onboarding each individual musician so that expectations are aligned from the start. The musicians should do what they do best: play great music - then Limunt handles all the administration around each performance.
Payment will fall after your event. You will receive an invoice from our administration.
In most cases, it is possible to extend the playing time if you do not want the music to stop at the agreed time. However, as we only book professional musicians, there may be circumstances where this is not possible, for example if the musicians have another job later in the day, have an early job the next day or a voice that can't cope any longer. If you want to make sure you have the option to book an extra set of music on the day, we recommend that you arrange this with your Limunt contact so that both you and the musicians are aware of the option.
The prices we quote are in most cases inclusive of transport (to land bridges), VAT and engineering (up to 100 people).
We customise each specific offer - booking everything from a single solo musician playing a single song to live music over several days for larger events. Try our price calculator or contact us for a no-obligation quote.
We provide substitutes in case of illness, so you don't lose the music for your event. We have built up good procedures with our many musicians and have an action plan in case of illness. Our large catalogue of musicians means that in almost all cases we can find a talented replacement in a very short time.
It's hard to give a clear answer, as we book solo musicians, traditional party bands and full orchestras of 9-10 people. A traditional band of 3-5 people should have at least 3×4 meters to stand on. A solo musician can manage on 3×2 meters. However, there are many factors that come into play when it comes to space - so it's best to have a chat with your Limunt contact. A concrete example where the above rule does not quite apply is when booking a party band: here we at Limunt always recommend placing the music in the same room as the bar, as this way you gather the activity and the party in one place - and get more people on the dance floor! If there are not quite 3×4 meters to stand on, we still recommend placing the band at the bar, even if the musicians need to sit a little close, to ensure the good party!
Typically in sets of either 2 x 45 minutes or 3 x 45 minutes. But it all depends on the function of the music: whether it's background music, a beautiful feature or party music to get the party started. We provide everything from a single heartfelt song for the wedding to music for 10 hours during a larger event.
You are always welcome to make suggestions for the repertoire - that way we get to know your taste and try to include everything possible. However, we cannot guarantee to fulfil all your wishes. We are often in dialogue with customers who are very unsure about the repertoire - and we are here to help. By booking more than 500 jobs annually, we know what works for different events. Our professional musicians are also good at reading the audience on the day, which means that changes can be made to the setlist during the performance.
When booking an event with 1-3 songs for e.g. a wedding, we take a dialogue about what is possible - and in most cases we can meet your wishes.
The jazz concept Jazzkollektivet was what started it all in 2016. Then followed Popkollektivet, Strygerkollektivet etc. In 2022 we decided to bring all our concepts and booking together on this new site!
