Wedding reception bands create the mood for your reception by the type of music they play. If they play lively dance music, your guests can let their hair down and dance the night away. On the other hand, your band could play quiet background music that allows guests to visit and talk with each other without having to shout.
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.
Music can also be provided that is of particular interest to the happy couple. Any good band will do this for you and you will probably not be putting them to trouble as good bands love to learn new songs in rehearsal as it keeps them fresh.
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.
Although pub bands are cheap they lack the experience and profession that you get with a seasoned wedding reception band, that has probably played many similar gigs before so are comfortable with their set up, the occasion and the needs of the guests.
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.
