Help with getting band to play at my wedding

Elizabeth, on August 21, 2019 at 12:34 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 13

So I'm attempting to maybe get my favorite band to play at my wedding (I know it's a total long shot). But, they are now scheduled to be playing in Orlando (about and hour from me) one week before my wedding, with no shows scheduled after that. My wedding is only a week later, and Orlando has theme parks and stuff. Anyway, I was hoping maybe some of you could help me out. If you could please copy the following and post it to your Facebook page.

Hi Facebook family, Can you help me help out another bride and maybe make her special day even more magical? She is trying to get her favorite band, Coheed and Cambria to play at her wedding. Can you like and share this along with the hashtag #coheedplayourwedding1026

Thank you! Fellow bride (insert your name) from (insert city,state,country)

I am going to the show and plan to have a sign that includes this hashtag, and I will be wearing my "bride" get-up from my bachelorette party. I figure it can't hurt to try :-)

    Are you trying to get them to play for free? Have you reached out to their team and asked if they do events?

    I can’t imagine any band would play somewhere for free but pretty much any artist is available to book for private events. I know someone that booked Bon Jovi to play at their wedding. You can reach out to their booking agent to see what their fee would be.

    Sorry hun I don’t have social media accounts. They seem like a bigger band so you wouldn’t find them on Gigsalad or anything but I found this site for you. It seems they do private events but no list of prices.

    I don't really expect them to play an actual show or anything. My first dance song is an acoustic version of one of their songs, and that would be totally enough for me. Even if they did events, we definitely don't have the budget for it. I'm considering getting to see them for the 15th time as a wedding present to myself anyway :-)

    I'd be shocked if they'd show up for one song unpaid. Why would someone work any amount unpaid when they can get big bucks?

    But good luck...

    When I was in middle school someone had N*Sync at a bat mitzvah. It was nuts.

    1.2 million for them to play for 20 minutes. It was about 5 or 6 years ago. A member at my parents country club.
