What moves the final number
How many musicians are on stage
Pricing is built per person. A keyboard-and-singer chuppah is a different quote from a seven-piece dance-set band, and each added player carries their own fee.
How long you need them
Most fees cover a standard simcha block — reception, chuppah and dancing. Extra hours, a second location or a late-night set are added as separate line items.
Travel and lodging
Anything outside the local radius adds a travel line based on distance zone. Out-of-town simchas may also add lodging for the band.
Date and season
Peak Sunday and legal-holiday dates go first and rarely discount. Midweek and off-season dates are where you find room.
Sound, lighting and extras
PA, monitors, an engineer and dance-floor lighting are priced separately from the musicians, either from the same team or added from the catalog.
Add-ons after booking
A badchan, extra choir boys or a soloist for one dance can be added later — you approve or decline each add-on and its price before it joins the quote.
