Aboutweddings.com wedding music & entertainment article: live / bands and orchestras

Bands are typically multi-member ensembles that include vocalists, a guitarist, bass player, a pianist or keyboard player and a drummer. Specialty bands are often composed of different instruments, but are equal in their entertainment value. The lead vocalist often times may act as emcee of the evening. Bands typically charge by the number of members in the group. The size of the band needed will greatly depend on the number of guests you invite. For up to 100 guests a 3 to 4 piece band is recommended. For 100-200 guests allow for a 5 to 7 piece band; 200-300 guests, provide a 7 to 9 piece band or orchestra. Keep in mind that an additional musician should be added for each additional increment of 50 guests.
