There are a number of things to take into consideration. You need to consider what your guests will enjoy, as well as what you want, what your own style is, plus you need to make sure that you can fit the cost of wedding band hire into your budget as well.

Luckily, one of the UKs leading providers of professional live music Music HQ have put together a list of top tips to help you find the perfect live wedding band:

 

1) How Far In Advance Should You Book A Wedding Band? 

The atmosphere from live wedding music is one of the most memorable things about the day. It makes such a huge difference to the party, and it’s one of the things that people will remember long after the wedding. Unfortunately, the best live wedding bands are in high demand and they get snapped up quickly. Some people hire a band for a wedding up to 2 or 3 years in advance. If you wait for too long, all of the best options are likely to be booked up. It’s best to focus on the band before you do anything else, so as soon as you have a date set for the wedding, start looking at live wedding music and book your perfect band right away.

However, don’t cut any corners when you hire a band for a wedding because it will make a huge difference. A professional wedding band will create an amazing atmosphere and ensure that you and all of your guests have an amazing time.

3) Does The Venue Allow Live Wedding Music? 

Most people assume that all wedding venues are set up for live wedding bands, but that isn’t actually the case. There are a lot of wedding venues out there that have restrictions, which make it difficult for them to accommodate a live wedding band. In some cases, they may not allow live music at all, while others will have noise restrictions and curfews that could affect the band. When you are choosing a venue, it’s important that you ask about this and make sure that you can definitely have a band on your big day before you book. You don’t want to go through the wedding band hire process only to find out that they aren’t allowed to play at your chosen venue.

4) What Kind Of Wedding Band Should You Choose?

This is the hardest question to answer when choosing a wedding band because you want to keep everybody happy. At a wedding, you have guests of all different ages with different tastes, so how are you supposed to find something that everybody will love? First and foremost, when choosing a wedding band, look for a band that you and your partner both love. If you are having a great time, your guests will be as well. The other important thing is that you book a professional wedding band that knows how to play to the crowd. Experienced live wedding bands have played so many weddings and they know how to put together a set that caters to everybody. They are also able to read the room and alter their set if they don’t think that people are particularly enjoying what they are playing.

    Hi, I’m from Brazil and here we love to buy wedding rings, a very special moment, in the case of renting for the wedding it is not our responsibility, but seeing these rings that were displayed is very worthwhile for the special day of the wedding party.

    Thanks and congratulations for the blog

    It’s surprising to know that some couples hire an in-demand wedding band two or three years in advance. My boyfriend recently proposed to me, so we’re starting to plan our dream beach wedding. I find it helpful that you mentioned we should start looking for a live wedding band as soon as we set a wedding date. I’ll definitely keep that in mind to ensure we could book a reputable live band for our special day. Thanks.
