Wedding bands in Puglia
Most Puglia weddings take place at masserie, fortified farmhouses with courtyards, olive groves and pools, where each part of the day often has its own space and its own sound. Finish times tend to be later than in Tuscany, but not everywhere. Here's what to expect at the Puglia venues where we arrange music most often.

What to know about music in Puglia
- Many masserie use a separate sound set-up for each part of the day, and some don't allow speakers to be moved during the event, so musicians need more equipment and longer set-up times.
- Several venues have no in-house sound system at all, so bands and DJs bring everything.
- A 2am finish is common, and a few venues allow 3am or later, but some, around Ostuni and Cisternino for example, stop outdoor music at midnight.
- June and September are the busiest months, so book early for those dates.
- If you'd like a local touch, ask about a pizzica set, the traditional dance of the Salento.
Compare finish times side by side: music curfews at every venue.
