Pay Range*

Please select the hourly rate range you are budgeting per performer from the list below. Our service does not set rates; the final rates will be negotiated and confirmed directly with the performers. For reference, in our experience, rates from around $150-250 per hour are typically competitive in our area. Keep in mind that rates may vary significantly based on factors such as instrument/performance type, location, equipment needs, repertoire, and other specific requirements of your request. If you're unsure about estimating an appropriate rate for performers, we recommend reviewing the guidelines provided by 802 Local. These outline current industry standards and fair compensation practices.
