Tips For Choosing The Right Wedding Bands Music

By Lucy Duffield

Wedding bands music tends to be music suitable for all ages as you have to please a whole generation of families and friends with different music tastes. Music generally is played from the 60's up to the latest pop tunes in the charts.

Some people may consider hiring a DJ to save money in their wedding budget. However, this may not always be the best choice when you want good music that others will remember as your wedding music. You want your music to stand out in their mind and memories long after your wedding day.

A wedding bands music may cost a little extra but most bands can play to a set list you want and get the guests on the dance floor; far better than a boring DJ.

Cover bands are always a great idea, because they generally play particular types of genres and songs by particular artists. This music will vary from one band to another, although many bands are happy to learn new songs. Most often they already know about 20 to 40 songs already.

If you now know what you want to be played at your wedding you have to go out and find a band to do that. The easiest way is to search online for bands or for agents who have bands on their books, many will have done weddings in the past. This experience comes in handy as it will help ensure that the entertainment runs smoothly.

Most often wedding bands music may play for anywhere between 90 minutes up to 2 hours and take a break about half way through that time. You can hire them for a longer period if you need to do so. Make sure that the band you hire has everything they need available to them. They will require enough room to unload and load all their equipment and a changing room.

You will also need to ensure that your guests have a suitable dance floor. Too small a space can cause safety problems. Too big a space may intimidate them into not getting up on the dance floor. Most locations will have a stage for the band. However, bands can work around this if they need too.

Other issues which are crucial before you even part with your money is to check the venue has a live music licence- no licence means no band! So check this before you even start searching for a band. Ask the venue what size band can they hold and what sort of bands have they had in the past, they may even recommend a good one to you.

Doing all of this preparation will ensure that you and all your guests have an absolutely amazing time. Your wedding day is very special and having a wedding band playing will be the best investment you could have made! - 40732
