4 piece band for ~60 guests?

I was wondering if a 4 piece band would be too large for a 50-60 guest wedding reception.

    Not at all! If the space is large enough then a band would be nice

    Thanks! We are definitely going with live music. I just wasn't sure if we should downsize to a 3 piece or a duo. I like the idea of the 4 piece though!

    Not at all! We had a 7-piece band for 50 guests at our local reception. Your guests will love it.

    Oh nice! We were originally planning for an 8 piece for 150 guests but recently decided to downsize the wedding considerably. Just didn't want it to be "too much." I've been to an 80ish guest wedding with just a solo guitarist/vocalist.

    Definitely not. If you have the space for it in your venue that will be really nice.

    Depending on the type of music, a few band members will be great for your smaller reception.

    I was recommended solo or duo for my wedding ceremony for a guest count of 50 but I don't think there’s anything such as too many musicians.

    Definitely not too large! I had a 9 piece band for my reception with 115 guests. It worked out really well!

    We've hired a 4 piece string quartet for our 120ish (75 expected guests) wedding, so I don't think thats too big! Our ceremony is outside too so the extra noise will help to hear it over cars and stuff lol
