What should you look for when choosing?

Mention in your request what you're looking for (music style, start time, finishing time, venue and number of guests). Some acts bring their own sound and lighting, while others plug into the equipment already there. That way you'll get a suitable proposal faster.

Frequently asked questions

Booking a band isn't something you do every week. Here are the answers to the questions we get asked most. Can't find your question? Give us a call, we're happy to help.

A DJ combined with a live musician gives you the best of both worlds: the DJ keeps the music flowing, while a saxophonist or singer brings stage presence and interaction. At a reception, volume is crucial: too loud and guests can't talk, too soft and the atmosphere falls flat, which is why a small ensemble such as a jazz trio or acoustic duo works best.

At a reception, volume is crucial: too loud and guests can't talk, too soft and the atmosphere falls flat, which is why a small ensemble such as a jazz trio or acoustic duo works best. Also let us know which line-up you have in mind (a DJ plus a saxophonist, live singer or percussionist).

Bandzoeker currently has 4 acts in the DJ with live music category that are suitable for receptions; use the filters for genre, line-up and budget to quickly narrow that down to a manageable shortlist.

Most prices for a DJ with live music are between €700 and €3,200; the bigger the line-up and the longer the playing time, the higher the price tends to be. Prices for receptions are much the same as for comparable bookings.

You could also take a look at an acoustic duo or jazz trio for the reception, or use the filters to switch between genres, line-ups and budgets. Still not sure? The Bandzoeker team will personally help you find the best fit.
