How much is reasonable to pay for a live wedding band?

Hi,

I have found this band that I love, they aren't actually a wedding band and they tour doing gigs but they have done weddings in the past and have said they could do ours. The thing is we are getting married in the town I'm from in Italy but they are based in the uk. They have quoted us £1400 (a lot less than what they usually charge for weddings) but obviously there will be travel costs on top of that. Am I being crazy to consider cutting back on other areas so we can get them? They really are amazing and I just feel like it would really make for a great party and atmosphere. We have found a local band that is a really good wedding band but these guys are just so unique!

How much are other people spending on their wedding entertainment?

    Just to add- with travel costs it would probably be between £2000-£2500.

    The band I want is £1600 and worth every penny that and my photographer will be the two most expensive things of my wedding Smiley smile

    It's your day and if you feel that's something that's going to make it really special then go for it!

    Our band are costing £1100. They are a four piece band travelling from Reading to Suffolk. They are playing two one hour sets.

    I'm paying our band £1200 although I think £300 of that is an agency fee. That's for 3 hours including an hour acoustic set and music until 1am.

    We've also go a guitar and violinist duo who are playing 2 sets from 3pm until 8pm and they are charging £300.
