The main thing you will need to consider is your budget. The cost to hire a band will vary depending on how big it is, as well as their level of experience. As an overview, a two or three person set-up would be around £300 to £500 in the UK ($500 in the U.S. and €600 in Europe). For a 4 or 5-piece band you can expect to pay between £1000 – £2000 in the UK ($1000-$2000 in the U.S. and 600€-1200€ in Europe). A top quality well known (but not ‘famous’) band with high calibre musicians and the best equipment will cost anything from £2000 to £10,000 in the UK ($2000 to $10,000 in the U.S. and 2,500€ to 11,000€ in Europe).
