How About A Live Band Playing At Your Wedding?

By Jessica Hemmings

Your wedding day is very special and as such the occasion should be perfect. Attention needs to be paid to every detail so as an alternative to doing what most people do and booking a local DJ to entertain those attending your wedding, why not enjoy the sounds of a live weddings band?

Let's face it - you and your guests will want to remember the event for years to come and a weddings band may be just what you are looking for to ensure your wedding day is a great success.

One thing that probably stops people in their tracks when considering a weddings band to play at their wedding is the cost of the full band.

A band can be made up of anywhere between two and six musicians and the cost incurred is relative. Although it may at first seem considerably more expensive than the DJ option, it has to be said, you do get what you pay for.

Each individual member of the band will actually earn less than the DJ because the fee you pay has to be equally divided amongst the musicians. Of course, there is also more musical equipment involved with a band - not simply a mobile disco system. The higher overall cost is, therefore, representative of the musical entertainment provided.

For weddings requiring a more formal appearance, a weddings band is often seen to be suitably professional. Style can be adapted to suit any occasion so whether you are looking for dance music or simply background mood setting melodies, the exact atmosphere you need can be created.

If you decide to go ahead and get a band for your wedding how would you go about it? Good question. The first thing you should do is go online and search for wedding bands and select the ones you like according to style of music. Select ones with a website or a social networking page that has songs or videos you can listen to accompanied by good testimonials. This should now help you choose your preferred band.

It's your wedding and what you want goes, so why not go along to one of their gigs to see what you think of the band? You can find out where they are playing locally on their website, by sending them and email or giving them a call.

If you have booked your weddings band already then no matter how good they are you still need to check the venue has a live music licence or this minor detail could ruin your whole big day.
