A live singer changes a sangeet in a way a playlist cannot — people recognise the song, and then realise someone is actually singing it.
The main decision is not who to book. It is whether they are singing to backing tracks or in front of a live band, because that is most of the cost and most of the sound.
A singer with professional backing tracks is one performer and a laptop, and at a wedding it sounds close to the record. A singer fronting a live band — keys, tabla, guitar, percussion — sounds bigger and different from the record, which is the point of booking it.
Tracks are the sensible default for a sangeet where dancing matters more than listening. A live band earns its cost at a reception where you want a show.
Two sets of thirty to forty minutes, with the DJ covering between and after, works better than one long block. Attention at a wedding reception does not hold for ninety minutes of anything.
Agree the song list in advance, including the family requests that will otherwise be shouted from the floor. Ask what they will not perform, too — most singers have a range and are honest about its edges.
Sometimes the singer, sometimes the DJ, sometimes the venue. This is the single most common cause of a disappointing live set at a wedding, because everyone assumes someone else is handling it.
Settle it in writing: who supplies the PA, how many microphones and channels, who mixes during the performance, and whether there are monitors so the singer can hear themselves. A singer who cannot hear themselves will not perform well.
There are no published Canadian figures for wedding Bollywood singers narrow enough to quote. What sets it: the singer's profile, tracks versus live band and how many musicians, set length, travel, and whether sound is included.
If you are considering a well-known name, ask early about travel, accommodation and whether a local band is being hired to back them. Those costs are frequently larger than the fee itself.
Sangeet if you want dancing, reception if you want a show. Some couples split a set across both, though that is two appearances and is usually priced as such.
Yes, and you should — agree the list well in advance including the family requests that will otherwise be shouted from the floor. Ask what they will not sing, too; most singers are honest about the edges of their range.
Almost always. A live set is 30 to 80 minutes; the DJ covers the other five hours, runs the entrances, and handles the sound the singer is performing through.
