Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a wedding band cost?
Pricing depends on band size, event duration, and location. Fernandes Music offers five lineup options (Solo, Duo, Trio, Four piece, and Full Band) so you can match the budget and energy you want. Share your event details on our booking page and we'll quote you directly.
How far in advance should I book a live band for my wedding?
Most couples book their wedding band 4 to 8 months in advance, especially for peak wedding season (November to February) and popular cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, and Goa. Fernandes Music takes a 50% advance to lock in your date, so earlier booking gives you a better chance at your preferred lineup.
What's the difference between hiring a live band and a DJ for a wedding?
A live band brings real time energy, vocal harmonies, and the ability to read and respond to the crowd in a way a DJ set can't replicate. Many couples choose a band for the ceremony, cocktail hour, or first dance, and a DJ for late night dancing, or a band that covers both. Fernandes Music performs original arrangements of popular songs across genres, so you get live band energy without losing the hits guests want to dance to.
Does your band take song requests?
Yes, we take requests, but we prefer to get them ahead of time. We share a proposed set list with you in advance and gather your requests from there. If we get your requests early enough, we might even be able to add songs we don't already know to our set.
Can a live band perform at a destination wedding or travel outside their home city?
Yes, we regularly travel for destination weddings. Fernandes Music performs across India, including Bangalore, Kerala, Mumbai, Delhi, and Chennai, as well as international locations like Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Dubai.
Do you bring your own sound system?
We don't provide sound equipment directly, but we work with trusted sound suppliers and emcees we've partnered with many times and are happy to refer. If you already have a sound provider in mind, we can share our tech rider with them.
How many band members do I need for my event?
It depends on venue size, budget, and the atmosphere you want. A solo or duo suits an intimate cocktail hour, a trio or four piece works well for a mid size reception, and a full band delivers the biggest sound for large weddings and sangeet nights. Fernandes Music offers all five configurations so you can scale to your event.
Can I book a band for a corporate event, not just a wedding?
Yes. While we're best known for weddings, we also perform at corporate events, product launches, and private celebrations. The same live energy that works for a wedding reception translates well to a company milestone or corporate gala.
What's the booking process?
Booking is simple: share your event details, choose a lineup, and pay 50% advance to confirm your date. The remaining balance is due after the event.
