Things To Do When Hiring A Wedding Band

By Lee Collings

Planning a wedding and reception is no easy task. There is a lot to do and there is a lot of stress that comes with the job. An important aspect of the reception is the music so this is not something that you are going to want to over look.

You could go for the DJ or you could go for the more popular choice of the live wedding band. If you want some spark and life during your reception, you will want to stick with hiring the live wedding band.

One thing that you will want to try to do is to catch the wedding band during one of their performances. Many bands play gigs that are open to the public so you might have some luck catching them playing. If you do not have any luck with that, you might want to ask for a demo CD or a video that shows them playing at a wedding reception. This will help you understand whether or not they have the right look and sound for you.

If the band has a website, you will want to make sure to check it out as it will provide you with a lot of the information you need. There are generally photos, musical tracks, and videos to review, all of which will give you a clear understanding of how professional the band is.

If you are lucky enough to come across testimonials on the website, you will want to read through them in order to see just how much their previous customers enjoyed their music. If the repertoire of the band is listed, you will want to pay attention to that.

You will want to make sure that you are hiring a band that will appeal to the majority of the people at your reception. Try to figure out the average age of your guests and you can use that information to select just the right wedding band.

Of course the price of hiring your wedding band is a big part of the decision making process. Be sure that you have had that conversation with the band manager, and once you have ironed out the pricing be sure that it is outlined within your contract. It is also very standard that you will need to put in a non refundable deposit when you submit your contract so that the date of your event can be secured.

As the wedding gets closer, you will want to make sure that you are calling the band to confirm the details of the reception. If you are concerned about the wardrobe they will be wearing, make sure that you discuss these things with them in plenty of time before the reception.

A nice gesture is to make sure that you provide the band with some food since they most likely traveled a long way, took some time to set up, play all night, and then tear down their equipment. You might also want to make sure that the band has a copy of the planned events for the evening so that they can work around them. - 18423
