How can you save money when hiring your live wedding band?
Wedding bands are typically thought of as expensive, but there are several ways to save money on your wedding band. This includes:
- Be conscious of time – Try keep the time the band will be performing to a minimum. Most brides reallocate or ban speeches or activities that may eat into the band's time.
- Fewer Band Members: You'd be amaze at how a 4 piece band sounds just as good as a 5 piece band. You don't have to have a full band for good entertainment. If your budget is tight, get a smaller band that fits your budget.
- Schedule your wedding to be in the off-season: Entertainment is also affected by demand and supply. If you marry in December, your wedding costs will be much higher than if you marries just a month later in January.
- Book a wedding band first before any other entertainment: As mentioned before, a DJ can use the band's PA but generally bands have to use their own PA/Sound.
So, if you book a DJ first or hire PA by itself, you will pay for PA twice. To cut costs, book the band first and have the MC and DJ use the band's PA system.
Please note that the band can also provide you with an MC, a DJ or playback music. Generally if you book entertainment as a package, starting with the wedding band, the price will be exponentially lower.

In the past, for a client to hire wedding bands in Kenya, one would have to visit numerous clubs to watch a number of bands playing live. You would then get their business cards or contacts and negotiate a price.
