Hire an Orchestra for Weddings and Events | Artistealo

Verbena and dance orchestras for weddings and parties

Hiring an orchestra is the classic choice for weddings, local festivals and large-scale celebrations. These ensembles combine brass, percussion and vocals to deliver a wide repertoire spanning pop, rock, sevillanas and Latin music, adapting to the crowd and the moment of the night. With a live orchestra, the dance floor never empties.

How much does it cost to hire an orchestra?

Prices vary depending on the number of musicians, travel distance and event duration. Indicative ranges:

• Mid range: from €3,000 to €6,000 (10-15 musicians, wide repertoire)
• Premium range: from €6,000 (large formations with professional lighting and sound)

What's included

Most orchestras include professional sound equipment, stage lighting, equipment transport and several performance sets throughout the night. Some groups also offer a DJ service during breaks so the music never stops.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a verbena orchestra and a music group?

A verbena orchestra usually has more musicians and a repertoire focused on popular dance music: sevillanas, paso dobles, Latin music and pop hits. A music group may be smaller and specialise in a specific genre.

How much space does an orchestra need at the venue?

A formation of 8-12 musicians needs between 20 and 40 m² of stage space. Before booking, share the venue dimensions with the orchestra to confirm feasibility.

Do orchestras play sevillanas and regional music?

Many verbena orchestras include sevillanas, jotas and other regional rhythms in their repertoire. You can state your preferences when booking so they can tailor the programme.
