What corporate bands do differently

Clean dynamics across dinner and dance phases, sensible volume around speeches and announcements, and on-brand setlists. Look for bands with conference and awards-night credits, not just bars and weddings.

What to confirm at booking

Public liability insurance, GST invoicing, venue compliance, in-ear monitoring or compact backline for small stages, and a tight running sheet aligned with your MC and AV crew.

Frequently asked

How much does a corporate band cost in NZ?

Corporate covers bands typically run $3,500-$10,000 depending on size, length of set and travel. Jazz trios and acoustic acts for canapés or networking sit $1,200-$3,000.

Do bands have public liability insurance and GST invoicing?

Premium and Standard tier acts on Beat Exchange are required to provide proper invoices and venue-ready insurance documentation on request.

Can a live band fit our running sheet?

Yes. Brief the band on AV cues, MC timing and award announcements early — most experienced corporate bands work alongside your MC and AV crew rather than competing for the room.
