Great Reasons Why To Choose Live Music For Your Special Function

By Andrew Cagney


If you want to only dance the night away, then by all means book a DJ for your event. But if you want great rapport with your guests, so that they enjoy themselves, then think about getting live music at your wedding reception or any other event that you might be planning.

A live band is able to be flexible and can adjust their music to suit your needs most of the time. They understand that there will be times to play their music softly and sing mellow tunes and then crank it up so that your guests can boogie the night away. Therefore, take your time in choosing the right band for your occasion, because it is imperative to the success of the event.

Of course your main criteria would be the venue. Would they allow loud music? If they are alright with it, then you need not worry about vocals electric guitars and drums because the venue has catered for live music as well.

The genre of music is definitely important. If you are into hip hop and techno music, then you are not going to please your guests that much, unless they are all teenagers. So assuming your quests are in different age categories, the genre should be thus varied enough so as to please everyone.

As soon as a good relationship as been established between the band and your guests, they will basically lead the way and introduce great songs. Your guests will flock to the dance floor and have a really good time. With slow and fast tempos, even great grandma and grandpa can have a turn on the floor.

You also don't want live music which will blast your guest's ears off with techno or heavy rock music. Although many youngsters will love just listening to that type of music all night, you need to consider your elderly guests as well. So before you book a live band, get to listen to their music first and if they have made a CD, then it will be even better because you will get a feel for their range in music.

A live band is pretty much at your beck and call for the duration of the event so make sure that they follow your instructions. They should not be drinking on stage and there should never be vulgar language in their music or in their conversations with the guests. They should therefore be professional enough to understand this.

Let's say you are planning your wedding, then do inform the band that the attire for them should be smart casual and denims and t-shirts will have to say over for one day. The female vocalist or band member should also not be too skimpily dressed as to take all the attention off the bride. This might be a small issue, but it can become really embarrassing for the bride if everyone is gawking at a near naked lady on stage.

In conclusion, to have live music at your event, will only add to your success. They create fantastic ambiance and will instantly get your guests enjoying themselves, making it a day to remember.
