What to Look for In Wedding Bands

• Get Referrals
• When you want to find a quality band that will
  play the tunes you like for your wedding
  reception, ask your family and friends for
  recommendations. If youve attended a wedding for
  a loved one in the last few months and enjoyed
  the band, ask your relative or friend for the
  bands contact information. If your company has
  recently had a band to perform for a corporate
  event, talk to the colleague who organized the
  event to get more information on the band. This
  will make it easier for you to narrow down your
  choices and pick the band that best suits you.
• Hear the Band Play
• When you find a wedding band that youre
  interested in, go to a few of their live
  performances before making the final decision to
  book them. This will allow you to see how the
  band interacts with an audience and how
  professional they are under pressure. Youll also
  get to see how the audience responds to the band,
  and these factors will give you an idea of how
  your wedding guests will like the music. Of
  course, it also helps to listen to a few online
  clips of the band performing at various venues to
  help you make your final decision.

What to Look for In Wedding Bands

• Decide On Your Theme
• Once youre clear on your theme, it will be
  easier for you to figure out which wedding band
  is right for your big day. If youre a fan of
  jazz music and want to hear the intricate sounds
  of an era gone by, choose a band with an
  authentic jazz sound. If lite rock is more your
  speed, a cover band that plays music from your
  favorite bands is likely a good choice for your
  wedding. Make sure that you hear plenty examples
  of your potential wedding band playing the music
  that you want at your wedding.
• Include Special Songs
• If you want specific types of music at your
  wedding or particular songs that are special to
  you, inform the wedding band of this as far in
  advance as possible. Listen to the band play the
  songs you want at your wedding ceremony and
  reception several times to make sure youre
  satisfied with the sound. It may also be helpful
  to provide sheet music to the band if you have a
  song that is of special cultural or familial
  significance to you. Once you know that the band
  has perfected the songs you want at your
  nuptials, you can ask a soloist or two to make
  the musical experience even more enjoyable by
  adding vocals to the music that the band
  provides.

Finding the Right Wedding Bands

• Figure Out Your Theme
• Before you find the perfect wedding band for your
  big day, figure out the theme you want for your
  wedding. For instance, if youre wearing a
  vintage dress and your wedding party will be
  dressed in clothing that is reminiscent of past
  decades, you should find a band that plays music
  indicative of the style period. For instance,
  wearing a flapper style wedding dress and
  birdcage hat in lieu of a veil probably means
  that youll want live jazz music at your
  reception.
• Get Recommendations
• If youre not sure which bands are the best in
  your area, get a few recommendations from family
  and friends. For instance, if a colleague of
  yours had a great band at his/her company
  Christmas party, ask about the band so that you
  can book them for the wedding. If youve been to
  a wedding or vow renewal recently and enjoyed the
  band, dont leave the reception without getting
  the contact information on the band. If you
  mention that youve got a referral for the band,
  theres a chance that the wedding band may offer
  you discounted prices.

Finding the Right Wedding Bands

• Sample the Band
• Theres a good chance that the wedding band you
  choose will have a website or video clips where
  you can listen to their music. In addition to
  this, its a good idea to go to some of their
  live performances so you can get an idea of how
  the band will sound in person. Ask the band if
  you can attend a few of their upcoming shows so
  that you can get a feel for the bands
  professionalism and ability to connect with the
  crowd. This will eliminate any unpleasant
  surprises on your wedding day.
• Ask About Special Songs or Music
• Finally, if you want certain songs or types of
  music to be featured at your wedding, be sure to
  let the band know this well in advance. It may
  also be best to listen to the band play the songs
  youve chosen, so youll know exactly how the
  music will sound on your big day. If you want
  cultural music that celebrates your ethnicity to
  be featured at the reception, it may be best to
  provide sheet music or a video reference to the
  band, so theyll have time to get accustomed to
  the music and you can enjoy songs that remind you
  of your childhood or instill pride in your
  culture and traditions. Of course, you can also
  give the band a song that you and your spouse
  deem special. It could be the first song that you
  danced to, or the song that was playing when you
  realized you were in love.
