Frequently Asked Questions

QHow much does a live band cost for a wedding in Andhra Pradesh?

A small acoustic duo costs ₹20,000–40,000. A full 4–5 piece live band with vocals costs ₹75,000–2 lakhs. Premium bands with professional sound systems and large repertoires charge ₹2–8 lakhs for a full evening.

QWhat is the difference between a DJ and a live band for weddings?

A live band creates unique atmosphere through performance energy and improvisation — guests can interact and make requests in real time. DJs are more reliable for consistent sound quality across all songs and are more cost-effective. Many weddings use a band for the first hour and DJ for the rest of the night.

QCan live bands perform Telugu film songs?

Yes — most South Indian live bands have extensive Telugu film music repertoires covering classics from S.P. Balasubrahmanyam, Ghantasala, and modern hits. Always send your must-play list in advance so the band can rehearse specific songs.

QHow long does a live band typically perform at a wedding?

Most wedding bands perform 2–3 sets of 45–60 minutes each with breaks. Total performance time is usually 2.5–4 hours. Clarify the total duration, break schedule, and overtime charges in the contract.
