We recommend booking your wedding band 6-9 months in advance. Premium orchestras and celebrity bands should be booked 9-12 months ahead, especially for peak wedding season (October-March). Popular Bollywood and fusion bands get booked 6-8 months early. Benefits of early booking: better band availability, time for custom arrangements, early bird discounts (10-15%), multiple rehearsal sessions, and coordination with other wedding vendors. Last-minute bookings (1-2 months) are possible but with limited choices and potentially higher rates.

You can: request specific songs (wedding entry, first dance, family favorites), choose music genres and styles, set performance duration and timing, incorporate cultural/traditional songs, mix multiple music styles in one performance, add special surprise elements, coordinate with wedding events (sangeet, ceremony, reception), and exclude any songs you don't want. Most bands conduct 1-2 pre-wedding meetings and rehearsals to finalize the setlist. They also bring backup song lists for different moods and can take live requests during the performance.
