Wedding Reception Bands Set The Mood For Your Reception

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.

When booking a band or any other form of entertainment for a wedding a lot of people skimp on this cost which can be a big mistake as it can ruin your big day and let your day finish with a whimper.

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.

Now that you have booked your band and chosen your songs the work does not end there. First check that your venue is licensed to play live music. Some venues also have a sound limiter which cuts power to the bands equipment if the sound exceeds a certain limit so let the band know if this is the case.

Check also to see there is enough power supply for the equipment and that they have a big enough area to set up and play on. Also let the band know about the parking at your venue as they will have to unload and load heavy equipment from their vehicle.

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.
