Finding the Perfect Orchestra Package for your Event!


Orchestra packages are a luxurious addition to any event. They bring a sense of grandeur and elegance to any occasion and enhance the overall experience for your guests. An orchestra can perform classical music in its original form, providing a timeless and sophisticate

d ambiance. They can also play enhanced versions of popular covers, adding a modern twist to the performance and appealing to a wider audience. The number of musicians in an orchestra, the variety of instruments, and the skill of the performers all contributes to creating an incredible atmosphere that will be remembered by your guests for years to come.

What does the package include?


When choosing an orchestral package, you have multiple options to consider. Along with the orchestra, you can also include additional elements such as a live DJ, MC, and dancers, to enhance the overall experience. The DJ is typically accompanied by live instruments such as percussion, guitar, electric violin, strings, sax, and trumpet. If singers are included, they often perform with vocals-free backing tracks. This combination of live instruments and DJs creates a unique and exciting performance that will keep your guests entertained all night long.


The introductory example


With your DJ can be:

  • DJ Duo

  • Electric Drums

  • Violin

  • Sax and/or Trumpet

  • Percussion Drums

Performances:

  • String Quartet

  • Acoustic Guitar

Dancers:

  • Hip Hop

  • Modern Dance

  • Breakdance

  • Swing

Make sure that high-quality sound and lighting systems accommodate the package you choose.


Several factors will affect the size of orchestral packages:

  1. The space and type your venue

  2. The budget

  3. The music you’d like for your event

  4. The scale of the sound you want to create

  5. Any special requirements (Almost all big companies customize the event to your needs.)



How much do orchestral packages cost on average?

When looking at the cost of hiring musicians in the USA, it's important to keep in mind that in addition to paying for just the package, there are several costs that you may not have considered.


Also, depending on where you are, the costs will vary. For example, the same performances can cost much more in New York than in North Carolina or Idaho.


As a rough guideline, you should expect the following:


  • $150-$350 per hour, per person (depending on the profile and location)

  • $200+ per hour for a conductor

  • Up to $2000 of administrative costs to cover (e.g. ordering sheet music, larger instruments, rehearsal space, porters, etc.)

  • Up to 500$ transportation costs

  • In some cases, technical requirements (microphones and sound systems)

Some big companies give a fixed price for certain packages:


  1. Dry n Wet: Entertainment Services, Wedding DJ Packages, DJ Equipment Rental, Entertainment Programs

  2. Yazz Jazz DJs: DJ Packages, Yazz Jazz Swings, Yazz Jazz Strings, ambiance music.

  3. Midas Entertainment: The Gold Package (Best Seller) includes DJ & MC, DJ Equipment, 5 Hours Of Performance, Ceremony Sound, Cocktail Hour, Unparalleled Coordination


Most of these packages are fixed prices and cost around $10 000.


What kinds of events are most suited for an orchestra package?


Having live entertainment at an event can make it truly unforgettable. Corporate events and weddings are some of the most popular events that utilize a live orchestra package.


These packages can accommodate any type of formal or informal event, and provide the perfect touch of elegance and sophistication. Adding live musicians to traditional DJ packages creates a unique and exciting experience that will leave a lasting impression on guests. They elevate the atmosphere and provide a visually stunning performance on the dance floor.
