The cost of hiring a wedding band in Crete depends on several factors, including the type of performance, the band’s size, travel and accommodation costs.

 

If you’re looking for a solo performance to accompany you during key moments, such as walking down the aisle, prices typically start at €400-€1000, depending on the musician’s experience level and location.

 

For a cocktail hour band, such as an acoustic duo or a jazz trio, costs range from €800 to €2,000, depending on the musicians' reputation and set duration.

 

For the wedding party, a full wedding band, whether a quartet, quintet, or larger ensemble, will generally cost between €1,500 and €4,000 for a local band.

 

If you choose a band from Athens or another part of Greece, additional travel and accommodation expenses will apply. Many destination wedding bands require flights, ferry tickets, hotel stays, and meals, which can add €500–€2,000 to the total cost.

 

All of the prices mentioned above include PA equipment and insurance costs.

 

To ensure a seamless experience, it’s best to book your wedding band well in advance, especially if you’re getting married during peak season. Whether you prefer a wedding party band, an acoustic duo for an intimate atmosphere, or a lively quintet to keep the dance floor full, getting a detailed quote that includes performance time, travel, accommodation, and equipment will help you plan your budget effectively.
