On average, professional accordion players cost $200-$300 for a 1-hour performance. The exact price may vary depending on your location, how long the musician is expected to play, and their experience level.
Most accordion players bring their own instrument, as well as some other equipment, but the specifics will vary from performer to performer. Always check with your accordion player about equipment details at least three months before the date of your big event and arrange for anything additional they need, such as nearby outlets, extension cords, mics, monitors, or speakers.
Accordion players often perform for around one or two hours. Accordionists are often hired by the hour, so you can choose a longer or shorter performance length to fit the needs of your event.
When hiring an accordionist, ask them whether they’ll need or want to take breaks, and determine when these might happen during your event. For longer events, you should plan for any of your musicians to take breaks every 30-45 minutes.
When scheduling performances, you always want to consider the overall timeline and progression of your event. If you’re having a formal dinner party, you may want the accordionist to play while guests enter the venue and mingle, then have them take a short interval during speeches before playing again during dinner.
The accordion is most often associated with folk music originating in Europe, but most modern-day accordionists will have a vast repertoire to choose from. Many song lists will include traditional accordion music with a mix of jazz, classical, and pop tunes.
While you can hire a solo accordion player for your event, you can also find cover bands, ensembles, and jazz bands that feature an accordion. These groups can offer a fuller sound for your celebration while still including that authentic accordion sound.
Accordion music can be a great option for all types of occasions! Consider a strolling accordion player for your dinner party or cocktail hour. An accordionist can also provide background music for festivals, corporate events, and birthday parties. They are especially fitting for themed holiday events like Oktoberfest. Because accordion music is often tied to certain heritages, it is perfect for weddings and funerals as well.
