Wedding Reception Bands – What To Know Before You Book One
Wedding reception bands are there to provide an atmosphere for your reception. Whether it is one of a party atmosphere where people can let their hair down and dance in a relaxed manner or a quieter occasion where background music would be more appropriate so people can have more of a conversation together.
A lot of people tend to choose a band that creates a party mood so guests can dance the night away to popular tunes from the 50s to present. Wedding reception bands usually play a wide range of songs so guest of all ages will hear their favorite tunes.
Wedding reception bands usually attempt to play some songs that are special requests by the wedding couple. Any good band should be able to play any songs you request as long as they know the titles beforehand so they can learn them first if they need to.
Many people make the mistake of cutting costs when it comes to the wedding band or other entertainment and this can be a big mistake. Your big day could end a disastrous flop if you choose the wrong band to play at the reception.
You could probably hire bar bands a lot cheaper than wedding reception bands but the reason experienced wedding bands cost more is because they have a lot of experience playing at weddings and know what to expect and how to handle wedding crowds which are usually quite different than bar crowds.
Please also bear in mind that should the worst happen and the band let you down unlike a pub band they probably have a back up band that can take their place.
Before you go to the trouble of hiring a band and picking out songs, there are some things you should know first. First of all, find out if your venue has a sound limiter. This device cuts power to band equipment in order to cap the sound limit. Your band will want to know in advance if this is the case.
Make sure there is ample space for all of the band equipment and enough power supply. The band will also want to know about parking arrangements and what the set up will be for loading and unloading all of their equipment.
Most importantly, find out if the venue that hosts your reception has a license for live music. That is something you definitely want to know in advance because if they do not have a license, then you won’t be able to hire a live band.
