How to find the best Band For Wedding Reception?

By Louisa Farrelly


Each swinging party has three things in common: good food, good ambiance, and great music. As you plan your significant event, you will be snowed under with selections about everything from colour schemes to dessert platters, but when it comes to deciding on the music you want for your massive whack, it really boils down to two main categories: live music or recorded music. In this post, we'll be talking about the benefits of hiring live bands for a party or wedding.

Recorded music is a simple and inexpensive fix. Any person can create a play list and play it on a stereo system, and most of us have the know-how to burn a CD of their fave music. Even a kid can plug in their portable MP3 player and just hit shuffle. But where is the fun in that? This is a good thing to do for a tiny gathering at home but for an extra special event like a wedding or anniversary party, you want to make it a memorable experience.

You might go with the option of hiring a pro DJ service, but face it: most of us have been to receptions with a DJ, and the result is often pretty corny. DJ services sometimes have their staff follow a prescribed script, complete with sad jokes and cliche play lists. How frequently have you been to a marriage reception where the DJ played a big listing of disco classics and Top 40 pop hits? You do have the option of picking the genre of music you want with a DJ service, but if you'd like something a touch more classy or if you would like some good rock, there is no wiser choice than hiring a live band..

The musicians that you hire will need to interest you and your visitors with their talents, unlike a DJ who simply has to play the proper recorded music. In this manner, a band is much better because they're going to work tirelessly to play their best and put on an entertaining and entertaining show for your party guests. They feel hooked up to the music that they play, and that connection translates to a private commitment to performing to the very best of their abilities.

The ambiance that an onstage music performance can contribute to your event is perhaps the greatest benefit to hiring a live band. For example, if your marriage reception is a black tie affair, having a group of musicians playing in a string quartet would add an unmistakable touch of class and refinement to the final environment of your reception. Similarly, if you need to make an atmosphere where people are going to want to get up and dance, a high energy rock or soul band can actually create the mood wanted to get folk out of their places and onto the floor.

If you make a decision to hire a group for your event, all you've got to do is get online and conduct a simple web search. There are many music booking sites out there where you can enter in your location, type of event, and the kind of music you wish to hear and the site will make a listing of all the musicians in your area. You can check out stills and hear examples of their music, then contact the band without delay thru the info given on the booking site.
