About Byron Bay Wedding Band
Byron Bay Wedding Band is an entertainment agency based in Byron Bay that puts together professional local musicians for weddings, parties, corporate functions and festivals. Each act is chosen for reliability and versatility, and the musicians are ready to add requested songs to their sets. The house act is Kellie Knight and the Daze, a funk, soul and jazz outfit that plays classic dance-floor soul alongside jazz standards. It can scale from a trio to 12 players, and for a reception dance band the agency suggests seven or more players, including male and female lead singers plus a rhythm section with sax or keys. Other acts on the roster are Southwall, an old-school rock and blues band of three to six players, and Broadwaters, a country folk group of two to five. The Roulettes are a fingerpicking acoustic guitar duo who can also play solo. Wedding packages can start with acoustic or jazz music before the ceremony, play your chosen song down the aisle and carry on through cocktails and dinner before the full band takes over. Couples who prefer a DJ for the reception can book a half-day acoustic or jazz package instead. For birthdays, staff parties and other work functions, the band brings sound and lighting that can also be used for speeches at no extra charge.

Frequently asked questions
Can Byron Bay Wedding Band play the ceremony and cocktail hour?
Yes, depending on the package. The band can play jazz or acoustic music as guests arrive, learn the song you want for walking down the aisle and keep playing through cocktails before the full band starts at the reception.
How long does the band play at a wedding reception?
Weddings usually run five to six hours, and the band typically plays three or four 45-minute sets with breaks between speeches. A playlist can run through the PA during the breaks, and extra sets can be arranged ahead of time for an added cost.
How is the price worked out?
The cost comes down to how many musicians you book and whether they play all day or only at the reception. As a rough guide it is about $500 per player, a little less for a big band, plus a booking fee and PA and lighting costs.
Does the band bring its own sound system?
Yes. The band uses its own PA, which is included in the cost, and you can use it for speeches and the MC while the band is set up. Let the band know beforehand so someone can look after it during breaks.
What does the band need at the venue?
A covered or dry area with a flat surface, close to a safe power outlet. The band also asks that a meal be provided for each musician where possible, along with drinks, organised with the band leader.
