Band Scanner is your direct line to Chicago's best roaming bands

With Band Scanner, you bypass the middleman. Our platform connects you directly with the band that best fits your event—not the one with the highest agency commission. Enjoy honest pricing, transparent communication, and the freedom to tailor the entertainment to your event's specific needs.

More music. Less expense.

When you book a wedding band through an agency, you pay the band's performance fee and an agency fee on top. That can add as much as 25% to the cost of hiring a roaming band for your event. When agencies are out of the picture, so are their fees. Booking through Band Scanner means you're funding the performance, not the intermediary. The result? A fuller, richer musical experience that costs less.
