Live Tribute Bands for Weddings

A DJ plays the song. A great tribute act fills the floor with the band your guests grew up on — first dance through last call. We match the act to the couple and handle the logistics end to end.

Booking Tips

Booking a Wedding Band, Step by Step

  1. Lock the date early

    Popular acts hold wedding dates 6–18 months out, and Saturdays go first. Inquire as soon as you have a venue — a soft hold costs nothing.

  2. Match the act to both guest lists

    Pick a catalog both sides of the aisle know. Motown, '80s pop, and classic rock keep three generations on the same dance floor.

  3. Ask about first-dance and ceremony sets

    Many acts will learn your first-dance song or play a stripped-down ceremony set. Ask in the inquiry — it's easier to arrange months out than weeks out.

  4. Check the room, not just the band

    Tell us your venue's size, power, and noise rules up front. A tent reception and a hotel ballroom need different rigs, and quotes change with production.

  5. Plan the band's evening

    Bands typically play two to three sets with breaks. Decide what covers the gaps — playlist, DJ, or toasts — so the energy never dips.

  6. Get everything in one contract

    Set times, overtime rates, meal and load-in details belong in writing. Booking through an agency means one contract and one contact for all of it.

Typical Budget Guidance

What Couples Typically Budget

Most couples working with a booking agency budget roughly $2,500–$8,000 for a regional tribute or cover act playing a full reception. Touring-level tribute productions — full costume, larger lineups, dedicated sound — generally land in the $8,000–$15,000+ range.

Travel distance, set length, ceremony add-ons, and production (stage, lights, sound) move the number in both directions. Tell us your date, venue, and guest count and we'll come back with real options inside your budget.

These ranges are planning guidance only — not quotes and not listed prices. Every booking is quoted individually based on the act, date, travel, set length, and production needs.

Weddings FAQs

  • How far in advance should we book a wedding band?

    Six to eighteen months ahead is the comfortable window, especially for Saturday dates in peak season. If your date is closer than that, still ask — calendars open up, and we can usually suggest comparable acts if your first choice is taken.

  • Can the band learn our first-dance song?

    Many acts will learn one or two special-request songs for a wedding, including the first dance. Mention the song in your inquiry so the band can confirm before you book — it's a common request and usually an easy yes with enough lead time.

  • How loud is a live band for a wedding reception?

    A professional act scales to the room. Share your venue's noise limits and the room size in your inquiry, and the band will spec a rig that fits — from a stripped-down setup for an intimate space to full production for a large tent or ballroom.

  • What happens between the band's sets?

    Bands typically play two to three sets with short breaks. Most acts provide break music from a playlist, or you can schedule toasts, cake cutting, and other moments into the gaps. We'll help you map the timeline when you book.

  • Do we book the band directly or through 90s to Now?

    You book through 90s to Now. We're the booking agency: one contract, one point of contact, and our team handles scheduling, riders, and day-of logistics with the act so you don't have to chase the band's manager the week of your wedding.
