About Our Wedding Bands for Hire in Italy

FixTheMusic represents a selected group of wedding bands available for hire across Italy. These bands regularly perform at weddings and private events and are familiar with working at Italian venues and with international couples.

Our wedding bands have performed at a wide range of venues across Italy, including Hilltop Hamlet, Fra Lorenzo Relais, Ca Sagredo Hotel, Villa Antiche Mura, Du Lac et Du Parc, Hotel Monaco and Grand Canal, Borgo Egnazia, Masseria Montalbano, Masseria Potenti, Castello di Vicarello and Palazzo Mannocchi, among others.

Some of our wedding bands have confirmed bookings up to two years in advance, particularly during peak wedding seasons, so availability can be limited at certain times of year.

You can read more in our blog post listing the most popular wedding bands in Italy based on confirmed bookings.

Our bands are available for weddings, corporate events, private parties, charity events and other occasions where live music is required. They perform in a variety of styles, including pop, rock, funk, soul, Motown, blues, acoustic, vintage, rock and roll, R&B, Britpop, electro swing and indie pop.

FixTheMusic also works with a number of acoustic roaming and strolling bands, which are often booked for aperitivo or drinks receptions and suit venues where a flexible live music set-up is preferred.

Italy is home to a large number of professional musicians, singers and DJs, many of whom have trained at recognised music colleges and universities across Europe. Despite this, finding reliable cover bands in Italy that are available for private hire can be challenging. FixTheMusic provides a single platform for viewing band profiles, reading verified reviews and making enquiries directly with musicians.

In addition to British and American pop, rock, soul and funk, many of our Italian wedding bands can also perform Italian songs, ranging from traditional material to Italian pop covers. Couples often choose to include a short section of Italian music alongside standard cover sets.

Live Wedding Band Performances in Italy

All of our Italian bands have promo videos as well as videos of live events so that you can get an exact idea for how they will perform at your wedding.

Our bands work hard to release regular video updates that are uploaded to their profiles.

Italy is one of the world’s most popular destinations for weddings, from the rolling hills of Tuscany and the elegance of Lake Como to the historic streets of Rome and the sun-drenched coastlines of Puglia and Sicily.

Since 2015, FixTheMusic has helped couples from all over the world hire the best wedding bands in Italy, working exclusively with exceptional local musicians who specialise in destination weddings.

Our Italian wedding bands cover a wide range of styles to suit every celebration. This includes high-energy pop and rock cover bands performing music from the 1950s through to current chart hits, as well as sophisticated jazz bands playing classic Italian jazz and American jazz standards, ideal for an elegant cocktail reception or dinner in Italy.

Our wedding bands have performed across every region of Italy, including Tuscany, Lazio, Lombardy, Veneto, Puglia, Campania, Sicily, Sardinia, Emilia-Romagna and Umbria.

Enquire now to hire a wedding band in Italy.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Wedding Band in Italy?

The average cost to hire a wedding band in Italy is around €1,950. This typically applies to a professional pop and rock covers band made up of four or five musicians, performing a mix of classic hits and modern chart music for weddings and private events in Italy.

One of our most popular Italian wedding bands is Trio Toscano, whose average price for weddings and private parties in Italy is €1,771. They are a great example of a high-quality local band offering excellent value for destination weddings.

Larger wedding bands in Italy, such as soul, funk and Motown bands, tend to cost more due to the increased number of musicians and singers involved. These larger line-ups usually range from €4,000 to €6,000, depending on the band, performance length and event requirements.

Several factors can affect the overall cost of hiring a wedding band in Italy. Travel expenses are one of the most important considerations. For example, if a band needs to travel from southern Italy to a wedding venue in the north, the total price may increase significantly.

FixTheMusic also represents a selection of larger Italian wedding bands with full horn sections, often featuring saxophone, trumpet and sometimes trombone. These bands are ideal for couples looking to create a high-impact live music experience, delivering a real wow factor for weddings across Italy.

Destination Weddings in Italy With Local Wedding Bands

Italy is a popular choice for destination weddings and has a well-established live band scene. Across the country, there are many professional local musicians who regularly perform at weddings and private events. FixTheMusic works with a curated selection of local wedding bands in Italy, focusing on experienced performers who are familiar with destination weddings and international clients.

Hiring a local Italian wedding band can simplify planning and logistics, particularly when it comes to travel, set-up and coordination with venues. These bands typically provide music for different parts of the day, including the aperitivo, dinner and evening reception, and are used to performing for a wide range of guest groups.

What are the most popular locations for destination weddings in Italy?

Some of the most popular locations for destination weddings in Italy include Tuscany, Puglia and Rome. These areas offer a wide range of wedding venues and a strong availability of local wedding bands. FixTheMusic represents multiple bands in each of these locations, making it easier to find musicians who are already based near your chosen venue.

Should I hire a wedding planner for a destination wedding in Italy?

Many couples planning a destination wedding in Italy choose to work with a local wedding planner to help manage venues, suppliers and schedules. FixTheMusic regularly works alongside experienced wedding planners across Italy and can offer guidance if you need recommendations or general advice during the planning process.

What is the SIAE tax for hiring a wedding band in Italy?

The SIAE licence is a required fee when hiring a wedding band in Italy to perform cover songs at weddings and private events. The licence ensures that copyright holders are paid for the use of their music. Italian authorities enforce this requirement, and it is the responsibility of the event organiser to obtain the licence. More detailed information is available in our blog post on SIAE.

Do you offer other wedding entertainment in Italy?

Yes, FixTheMusic also offers other wedding entertainment options in Italy alongside local wedding bands. These include acoustic duos, DJs, saxophonists, string quartets and other musicians. We also work with a range of non-music suppliers such as fire dancers, wedding photographers and caricaturists.

Reviews of Our Wedding Bands in Italy

Review of Stardust (professional covers band based near Bari in Puglia) by Raymond Molag

"We booked Stardust for our wedding and man did we make the perfect choice! There were a lot of musicians at the wedding so the band had to be good. I can tell you that not only did Stardust create a perfect atmosphere for the day and for the party, they are also masters of their instruments. So everybody had an amazing time! The singer's voice and range is honestly suited for any style of music, so whatever music you like will sound great when Stardust is playing it. At the end of the night they let a few guests play on their instruments, which they didn't have to do but it was really fun! I've checked the internet for the best wedding bands in Italy and apart from the class and vibe of Stardust they were also a great choice for price/quantity. Not only did they perform at the party, they brought a DJ to fill up the breaks and they even provided music throughout the day for stuff like the ceremony. And last, there is the fact that they were all nice guys, willing to be flexible with last-minute changes and great to hang out with. So if you're looking for an awesome band in Italy, you have to book these guys!"


Review of The Puppets (5-piece pop wedding band with male & female vocals) by Emme Ortiz

"The Puppets were phenomenal!! As a wedding planner bringing clients from the US, it can be a challenge working with local vendors and sometimes we are a little unsure of what the outcome will be but the band was not only incredibly responsive, they showed up on time, with a great attitude and completely knocked it out of the park with their performance!! Even their DJ who managed sound for the ceremony absolutely did a spectacular job and all three cultures that collided (Americans, Columbians and the Danes) were all on the dance floor having an amazing time. I will absolutely encourage any of our future clients or anyone else getting married in Italy to stop searching and just hire the Puppets!"


Review of Trio Toscano (3-piece pop & rock wedding band with male vocals) by Jordan Lazzopina

"Giacomo and the band were absolutely amazing! They played music for us all day and into the night. The set list was perfect and everyone had such an amazing time! We are so happy that we booked Trio Toscano for our wedding. Definitely recommend!! 💕💕"


Review of The Somethings (Tuscany wedding band) by Jodi Dunkley

As one client recently said in a review of FixTheMusic...

"Absolutely outstanding. When you are organizing the biggest day of your life with the added constraints of having a wedding abroad, what you need around you is contacts that are understanding, great at communicating and strive to help you create the most perfect day of your lives. Ed and his team are all of the above and then some. Exceptional communication, even when a small concern popped into my head late at night, my enquiry was dealt with instantly and I was put at ease.

FixTheMusic's website is simple to use and gives you so many options. Such a great experience. Being a covers band fan, I truly wanted a covers band at my recent wedding. Traveling from England to be married in the beautiful Tuscan hills, I initially thought finding a band was going to be difficult, especially with the language barrier. However, with my first google search for a Tuscan band, FixTheMusic popped up.

The website was so easy to use, my partner and myself instantly found bands of our desired area. We could then watch YouTube clips of the artists. This is where we feel in love with The Florentine covers band “The Somethings”. Wow now here is an exceptional band that were rehearsed to perfection and gave us the best show we have ever seen. Fabio, the lead guitarist and spokes person for the band bent head over backwards to provide us with the most perfect day. We asked if the band would mind if they learned a new song, our song to be played as our first dance. They were happy to do this and completely smashed it. What a performance.

Also, we asked if Fabio and his fabulous lead singer Chiara, would do a small acoustic set for our wedding ceremony. Also this was not a problem. Their performance here was so emotional that there was not a dry eye. They created the most intense magical moments for that will live with us and our guests for the rest of our lives. We can not thank them enough and we fully recommend them over and over as the best covers band we have ever seen.

So all in all from Ed, his team and The Somethings, we had the most exceptional service ever and made our wedding planning journey a dream. Thank you to each and every one of you. Jodi & Dee xx"


Review of The Florence Jazz Band (4-piece jazz & swing band with female vocals) by Jessica Hay

"The Florence Jazz Band were absolutely amazing, they were so lovely to work with and were fantastic on the day. The guests were blown away by them and gave an amazing vibe to the day and we could not have asked for better. I would highly recommend them to any future couple and I very much hope to work with them again in the future!"


Review of The Sonics (pop covers wedding band based in Rome) by Yunus Sevimli

"The Sonics rocked! They took care of the music for the whole wedding, including live performances during the welcome party, during the ceremony and during the party, as well as DJ late into the night. They put up with all our requests and also agreed to have us jam with them on the stage. The Sonics has an extensive playlist of songs from different genres that they allowed us to pick from. They have high energy, look cool and sound even better. We had a great time ourselves and also heard many compliments from our guests about how good the music was. Big thanks to Oniq and the whole team for being accommodating and awesome overall."


Review of Cosmic (wedding & party band based in Rome) by Lorraine Meehan

"THE best band I have ever seen with the most amazing, fabulous musicians! From the 1st song till the last, we were dancing. AMAZING!!!"


Review of The Prodigal Duo (professional pop covers duo based in Tuscany, Italy) by Fernanda Cavalcante

"This band is amazing. They play and sing really well. They played all the songs we chose and more! We couldn’t have hoped for a more wonderful experience for our big day. They exceeded our expectations. They know what they are doing. We hired 3 hours of live music and 2 hours of DJ. We only selected songs for the live show and let them choose the songs for the DJ part and they did not disappoint us. They are also super friendly and charismatic, which made our party even better. We really recommend them."

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about hiring a party band or wedding band in Italy...

FixTheMusic provides bands for thousands of weddings and private events each year across Europe and worldwide. We've put together some Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about hiring a wedding band, a few of which are listed below:

How early should I book a wedding band?

You should aim to book your band as soon as possible. Most of our best wedding bands have bookings at least two years in advance. If your wedding is on a Saturday in May, June, July, August or September, you should really be looking to book at least a year in advance of your date. This is because most weddings fall on a Saturday during summer so our bands receive the most enquiries for these days. That said, there are more and more weddings taking place on Sundays and mid-week (especially on Thursdays and Fridays) so it’s best not to wait too long before locking down your band.

Can I see wedding bands perform live before I book?

Usually it’s not possible to see the band live. Most professional bands perform at private events only, such as weddings and corporate events. It’s not usually possible for the bands to allow potential clients into these venues to watch them perform. It is occasionally possible so there’s no harm in asking. And sometimes wedding bands will do the odd gig at a pub or festival that’s open to the public.

How long do most wedding bands perform for?

Most bands play 2 x 45 minute or 2 x 1 hour live sets at weddings. Some bands will play for longer than this. The bands will usually tell you how long their sets are when they provide you with their quote.

What happens between and after the wedding band's live sets?

Most bands provide a “laptop DJ” service. This isn’t the same as providing the service of a professional DJ who reads the room and adapts to the feel on the night. Instead, they will have a playlist (usually on something like Spotify or iTunes) that they play out of their PA system. It's worth checking the details of this with the band, as some wedding bands only provide the live music and prefer to leave the rest of the evening's music to the couple or a professional DJ.

Can I choose the music that the wedding band plays in between and after their live sets?

Yes, usually you can send the band a list of requests before the wedding and the band will download them onto their laptop or device, ready to play on the night. Alternatively, you can compile a playlist and bring your own device to plug into the band’s PA system. You should check this with the band first, as not all bands are comfortable with others using their own equipment.

What songs will wedding bands play?

Most bands have a repertoire of songs that they perform regularly at weddings. This will be a tried-and-tested playlist that they know works well at weddings: it appeals to guests of all ages and keeps people on the dance floor. The set list will change throughout the year, as the band adds and removes songs.

Will the wedding band learn my first dance song?

Yes! Most bands will be delighted to learn your first dance song and perform it live for you on your wedding night. If it doesn’t fit the band’s style, then they might suggest you use the recorded version of the song and the band will play this out of their PA system.

Can I give a list of songs to the band to play at my wedding?

Most bands will usually learn one song for your wedding that isn’t already in their setlist. Some bands will offer to learn 2 or 3 new songs, but in our experience they are rarely able to learn more than this. It can be very time consuming for the band to learn and rehearse new songs, and especially so for singers to learn all the new lyrics.

Can I indicate my song preferences to the wedding band?

Yes. Most bands will be happy for you to indicate which songs from their set list you dislike and don’t want them to play, and songs that you like and absolutely want them to play on the night. The band will usually then build their setlist around these preferences.

What time will the wedding band arrive?

Most bands aim to arrive at around 5pm to be ready to play by 7pm. During this time they will set up their equipment and carry out a sound check, essential to making sure the volume of the band is appropriate to your venue and that any sound / noise limiters are taken into account.

Can the wedding band turn up earlier than that?

Yes, most bands will be happy to turn up earlier than 5pm, but you should expect to pay them for the extra time. A lot of wedding couples worry about the band setting up while guests are at the venue. Bands with lots of experience of weddings should be able to set up discreetly and without making too much noise and mess. The noisiest part is when they have to carry out the sound check, but this should only last about 15 - 30 minutes.

What time will the wedding band finish?

Most bands expect to finish by midnight. This suits most weddings as the majority of venues require live music to stop by this time.

Can the wedding band stay later than midnight?

Usually, yes, the band can finish after midnight. But bands will normally charge a slightly higher fee for this later finish, and this should be arranged with the band in advance.

Can I use the wedding band’s PA system after midnight?

Usually, yes. Though this will also attract a slightly higher fee, as it means that at least one band member has to wait until the end of the party to pack up the PA system and head home. Some band members might be a couple of hours’ drive away from your venue, so finishing at 1am means they won’t arrive home until 3am or 4am.

Will the wedding band bring their own equipment?

Yes. Professional wedding bands will bring their own equipment. This includes a PA system, mixing desk, some basic lighting for the dance floor and their own instruments. If you are planning a particularly large wedding with hundreds of guests, you might consider hiring in a larger PA system and more lighting. Not all bands in Europe provide their own equipment (e.g. they might not bring lighting), so you may wish to check this before booking.

Do wedding bands need a stage?

No. Most bands are happy to perform without a stage, though it can look special if you can offer them a stage to perform on.

If I do provide a stage, how much space will the wedding band need?

This will depend on the size of the band of course, but to give you a rough idea, a 4-piece band would usually need at least 5m x 4m. This is to provide room for not only the band members themselves, but also their instruments (keyboards and drum kits take up quite a bit of space) and other things like speakers and a mixing desk.

Can I or my guests perform or sing with the wedding band?

If you ask the band in advance, most will be happy to allow you or one of your guests to sing or play along with them for one or two songs. We always advise checking this with your band first.

Do I need to hire a DJ as well as a wedding band?

Most bands will provide pre-recorded playlists between and after their live sets, so your entire evening will be covered. However, if you want a professional DJ who will adapt his music choices on the night and interact with guests, then it’s better to hire a DJ as well.

If I do hire a separate DJ, can the wedding band and DJ share equipment?

Bands and DJs will often share the same PA system, as it can look cluttered to have two sets of speakers around the dance floor. However, you’ll need to discuss this with both the DJ and band before the event to check the equipment suits everyone’s requirements and that everyone is happy to share. One problem can arise when the DJ is booked to provide music into the small hours, but the band is to finish at 11pm. In this case, it would make more sense for the band to use the DJ’s equipment to save the band having to wait until the DJ had finished his set.

Do I need to provide anything for the wedding band?

Professional wedding bands will normally bring all their own technical equipment and instruments. However, most will expect to be provided with a hot meal each and soft drinks. The musicians will probably have left their homes around lunchtime to arrive at your venue in good time to set up and soundcheck. It can be a long day for them and they will be much more energetic on stage if they’ve had a good meal and refreshments before performing for you. The bands won’t expect to be given the same meal as you provide for your guests. Most wedding venues have an option you can purchase in advance for your suppliers or you can give the musicians access to your buffet if you’re having one.

Will the wedding band members be the same as the ones I’ve seen in their videos?

Not always. Most professional bands will have a core group that plays at the majority of weddings they are booked for. However, they will also have a group of deputies (or “deps” as they are known in the industry) that they call upon frequently to cover for band members. This is a standard and essential practice in the music industry. Most musicians work as freelancers, meaning they might work for different function bands or tour with famous pop groups for example. Being able to draw upon a deputy musician to cover a band member who is unavailable (or ill) means the rest of the band can still work.

What do wedding bands wear?

You should get a good idea of what the band wears from their videos online. Most will opt for a smart shirt, but if you have a particular theme or any requests, let them know well in advance. For example, if you’re having an 80s style wedding, you might want to check if the band could wear appropriate clothing to match!

Will the wedding band need parking spaces?

Most bands will arrive by car as it’s the easiest way for them to bring their equipment and instruments. Having 1 or 2 parking spaces available for them to use that are close to the venue will be appreciated by the musicians. In certain cities such as London, you might also need to cover the costs of parking.

Can wedding bands play outside?

If you’re getting married in Europe, it’s a good idea to make the most of the summer months and have as much of your wedding outside if possible. That said, the weather isn’t always the most reliable – so whilst many bands will be happy to play outside in principle, they will always require access to a shelter from the elements, whether that’s strong sunlight or rain. Musicians’ instruments can be worth thousands of pounds and a small amount of water damage or sun can have a devastating impact on the instrument.

Do I need a contract with my wedding band?

The most secure way to book a band is to do so via FixTheMusic. All bookings are governed by the agreement on our website, which is based on the Musicians Union standard contract and amended by the particular details that you agree with your band by email (date, venue etc.). The contract provides protection to both parties.
