Musicians for hire in Georgia: what live music costs
ShowFlow team · Updated:
Hiring musicians in Georgia is priced by the event: live music in a restaurant usually costs ₾100–300 for one evening, and a wedding band ₾1,000–2,000. The price changes with the number of musicians, hours, city and whose sound equipment is used. These prices are based on public offers in Georgian event groups (October 2026).

Frequently asked questions
How much does live music cost in Georgia?
Based on public offers in Georgian event groups (October 2026), live music in a restaurant usually costs ₾100–300 for one evening, and a wedding band ₾1,000–2,000.
How much do musicians cost for a wedding?
A wedding band costs about ₾1,000–2,000 for one evening. Fewer musicians cost less; a full line-up, their own equipment and another city cost more.
How much does a Georgian vocal ensemble cost for a wedding?
It depends on the line-up and the programme. We don't yet have enough public offers to give a range, so ask a few ensembles for a price for your date.
Do musicians bring their own equipment?
Both happen. If the restaurant has its own sound system, it is often used and the price is lower. Check before booking.
How far in advance should we book musicians?
As early as you can, especially for weekends from June to October — the busiest wedding season.
