Function Or Wedding Party? Why Not Hire A Live Band?

By Suzanne King


There is a wedding at your house and everybody is busy planning it. You want the wedding to be a gorgeous event that will be the talk of the town. There are a lot of ways to do it. You can rent a great venue. You can arrange for a great dinner. You can invite all the people you know. You can also spend on a grand dcor. But as you know, no party is complete without proper music and in an event like this you can have live music performed by professional wedding bands.

Wedding bands are professional outfits which perform only in wedding parties. These bands know the pulse of the guests and how to induce the spirit of the party in them through their music. You can expect a wedding band to make your guests enjoy the party like never before. The wedding bands play the requests of the guests at the party and make them come alive in it. Thus the party turns out to be a huge success.

You can expect from a professional wedding band the finer points of making a party successful. A good band will start playing soft and slow numbers in the beginning of the party when the guests are on a process of introduction. They may raise the tempo of the party and also raise sentiments by playing love ballads at particular junctures like when the bride is walking down the aisle or the bride and groom is kissing. Such songs can also make the newly weds feel special. The band may move on to dance numbers when the ceremonial part is over and make the gusts shake their hips with the music.

Since a wedding party consists of guests from all age groups a wedding band has to play something for everybody. Therefore a good wedding band has to be versatile. They need to play Oldies from the fifties to the latest pop hits in order to be a hit with all the guests.

When you are choosing wedding bands, be careful to choose the right one. An amateur band or an unprofessional one will ruin all your efforts. So, when you choose the band from whatever sources, may it be, the internet or referrals, be sure to ask them to provide you videos of their past performances. By watching the videos you will know who is what and choose the wedding bands of your choice.

When you select the wedding bands and finalize the one you want, call them and brief them what exactly you want them to play. Detail a play list and tell the band to improvise on it. In that way the band will have no confusion and you will get what you want.

Enquire to the wedding bands what kind of logistical support it needs at the venue. Check the stage and the acoustics. Check the power supply as well as the parking space for the musical instruments of the wedding band.

Do not forget to cross check with the venue whether it has the necessary licenses to host live wedding bands or not. Do all these things in advance to avoid last moment hassles. All set and done, enjoy the gala wedding party.
