When it comes to Israeli wedding bands, you can expect the best. From traditional Jewish music and modern pop and rock tunes, Israeli wedding bands offer something for every type of event. Many bands are made up of talented musicians, from instrumentalists to vocalists and DJs. Some also offer additional services such as lighting, decorations, and staging, depending on your budget and preferences.

3) How much do they cost?

The cost of hiring a professional Israeli wedding band will depend on a variety of factors, including the number of musicians in the group, their credentials and experience, and the type of music they are playing.

 

For example, if you want to hire an electric violinist or a violin player, the cost could be much higher than a band featuring just singers and instrumentalists.

 

On average, Israeli wedding bands can cost between $7500 to $30,000 for a full night performance.

 

This cost can go up or down depending on the services offered, additional costs such as travel expenses and accommodations, and any special requests from the bride and groom. Keep in mind that the cost of a band is an investment, as they will be the ones responsible for bringing your big day to life with their music!

4) What are their credentials?

The best Israeli wedding bands boast an array of talented musicians with impressive credentials. Their lead singers and performers may be classically trained vocalists, while their instrumentalists may include experienced guitarists, keyboard players, bassists, and drummers.

 

Many have performed in some of the biggest events in Israel as well as around the world, and have years of experience in the music industry. Some may even have studied at prestigious music schools or conservatories.

 

Because bands require breaks, a really excellent idea is to bring in an electric violinist with experience with your audience for the main course. Ariella Zeitlin is renowned for creating beautiful sounds that are perfect for romantic ballads or festive tunes alike. Whether you're looking for a classical violinist or an electric violin player, Ariella is a highly skilled musician who knows how to make your special day unforgettable.

5) Are they available on your date?

When looking for the perfect Israeli wedding band for your special day, you'll want to make sure that they are available on your desired date. Luckily, many of the top Israeli wedding bands have quite a few members, allowing them to play at multiple events on the same night. To make sure that the band of your dreams is available on your big day, contact them directly and inquire about their availability.

All the bands that are listed below are bands that I have personally hired for my clients and highly recommend. They also have many reviews online, which is a great indication of quality. Ask your friends and family who have already had their weddings to get some recommendations, or check out online sources. Look for bands with glowing reviews from satisfied customers. You want to find a band that can provide the perfect musical atmosphere for your special day.

 

When evaluating Israeli wedding bands, take a look at how they mix traditional music with modern music. You want to ensure that the band you choose can provide the perfect blend of tradition and modernity to create a unique experience for your wedding day.
