Do you charge more for New Year's Eve weddings?
Wondering if there are surcharges on bands/djs for weddings on special dates like this. We're thinking of a NYE wedding.

Yes there is a surcharge for New Years Eve but happy to give you a quote for NYE.
Inferno Duet are available for New Years Eve Weddings. We do charge extra for this evening, its usually double the standard wedding cost. However our standard packages are already at an affordable cost.

Hello,
I personally don't for my wedding packages, but there are other people who do. I can see it from both perspectives and I would imagine that if you are wanting people to dedicate a significant portion of their time for your night, then a surcharge would be reasonable.

You will find some do and some don't.
Personally, whilst it IS a special night I would like to be with my own wife and kids, we don't charge more.
Our rates are satisfactory enough to use that income as a special treat a couple of days later when we can have our own "New Years Eve" party.
It is a special night of the year. However I don't charge much more over and above my standard Wedding fee.
Hi there, yes NYE is a premium night for musicians so you'll usually find the minimum fee per performer will be at least 25% higher. Many performers charge a minimum $1000 call out fee for NYE.
As it's a very busy and high paying night for musicians yes the cost of music will be higher on NYE. Usually the NYE minimum per live performer is at least $800 for up to 4hrs, and $1000 if more time on site.
Hi
A normal NYE gig is around 1500 so it really would depend on what you had in mind.
Always happy to discuss budgets and requirements.
Kind regards

Absolutely, we do charge more for New Year's Eve weddings. Given that it's our peak season, New Year's Eve tends to be our busiest night, which naturally reflects in the higher booking prices due to the heightened demand for our artists. If an agency isn't adjusting their rates accordingly for this date, it might raise a few eyebrows, hinting at a potential lack of demand. Nevertheless, you can trust that we remain committed to delivering a seamless and professional experience, ensuring your New Year's Eve wedding is nothing short of exciting and unforgettable.
