5 Reasons to Hire a Wedding Band
Planning a wedding isn’t an easy experience, there’s so many different things to consider during the process. Planning your music and entertainment is a really important aspect of the wedding day. It’s got to be next on the list after you’ve chosen the all important wedding venue, picked your caterers and settled on a theme.
So the formalities are over; you’ve had your beautiful ceremony, wedding breakfast, taken photographs and cut the cake. Now it’s time to let off a bit of steam, let your hair down (quite literally) and really enjoy your wedding reception. What’s better than listening to live music from a wedding band North Wales and letting loose on the dancefloor with your partner and family?
Here are just five of the reasons why hiring a wedding band for your big day could make it even more of a sensation.
Bespoke Experience
Wedding bands don’t take the important role they play for a couple lightly. On one of the best days of your life, you need a wedding band that will help you to create the evening you want. Your wedding band will spend time working with you ahead of the big day to discover your musical likes and dislikes as a couple. They’ll know your wishes and requirements, and they’ll leave you confident that they can put on a show that’s just for you.
Make it Memorable
A live band is much more memorable and personal than a wedding playlist or a run of the mill DJ. Not only will your band compile and perform varied or unusual setlists, they can also put a twist on songs and look the part to fit your wedding’s theme. Perhaps you’re after a vintage vibe, or a ’20s feel. A wedding band can also fill a room and give a real sense of warmth to your evening, while showing your guests a lot about you and your musical tastes.
Lots of Styles to Choose From
There are lots of bands of every genre and style that you could incorporate throughout your day, or for your evening celebration. Perhaps you have booked the perfect wedding venue, complete with perfumed rose garden for drinks and photos, where a string ensemble or jazz pianist would be the perfect fit? Or you might fancy an upbeat folk band for a summer vibe. Whatever you’re after, you’ll be spoilt for choice.
Audience Interaction
You won’t just get music, you’ll get a true live performance. Your wedding band will be able to make your guests want to get up and dance. Having everyone feeling good at your wedding reception will be a superb way to ensure you have the best time, too. Great performers can create a real connection with guests; on wedding days, when everyone’s filled with love and champagne, the warmth and energy of a brilliant entertainer will have everyone ending the night in high spirits.
Get More from the Music
Perhaps the best thing about a wedding band is that you don’t have to choose between songs and style. If you’ve got a certain theme, but you really like modern pop, there are lots of bands that perform a range of songs in different styles, which makes it a more versatile option than a DJ. Wedding bands are also great if your favourite songs aren’t all child-friendly. Professional wedding bands know how to create a ‘PG night’, so they can adapt lyrics to suit all your guests’ ears without compromising on songs.
