Booking bands in New York
New York is two markets in one. The city anchors a deep wedding, gala, and corporate calendar across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Hudson Valley; upstate runs on a strong winery, casino, and festival circuit from the Finger Lakes through the Capital Region and out to Buffalo. Acts here regularly carry city-grade advance paperwork — insurance, COIs, union compliance where applicable — and are comfortable with tight load-ins, freight elevators, and curfew clocks. MZ is the booking agency on the back end. One team handles the hold, the offer, the contract, the advance, and the day-of — transparent pricing and a fast quote turnaround.
New York buyer FAQ
- What does a New York band typically cost?
- Budgets vary by act profile, production, and venue tier. City galas and high-end weddings scale higher than upstate corporate dates. Send the date, the venue, and a target budget and we will come back with two or three New York-based acts that fit.
- How far ahead should I book?
- Peak Saturday wedding dates (May–October) in the city and Hudson Valley fill 9–14 months out. Upstate festival mainstage holds typically lock 6–12 months ahead. Corporate dates inside 90 days are workable on most weeknights.
- Will the band cover both the city and upstate in a single weekend?
- Most NY-based bands cover the city and Hudson Valley in a day-of drive. Capital Region, Finger Lakes, Buffalo, and Rochester typically need an overnight; we will line-item travel and lodging on the quote so the contract is clean.
- What about COI and venue paperwork?
- City venues, hotels, and event spaces in NY almost always require a Certificate of Insurance naming the venue as additional insured. Every band on our roster carries this — we route the COI request between your venue and the artist on the advance so it lands before load-in.
