Live Bands Rock!
| By Lindsay Longacre ~ August 12th, 2010 ~ Wedding Entertainment | 1 Comment |
I absolutely love live bands at weddings. They give an event a whole new life and really energize the crowd. Whether it is a Blues Band, 80′s Band or a Top 40′s Band they will be able to entertain your guests and provide an energy that a DJ can not deliver.
Here are a few tips I would offer when booking a live band to make sure your guests have a rockin’ good time.
- Make sure the band has an Emcee who is experienced in wedding announcements
- If your venue is an odd shape or has low ceilings be sure to communicate this with the band for acoustics purposes
- Review their song list because every band specializes in different genres of music
- Ask them to send you a demo tape or if you could see them play live at one of their gigs
- Confirm the amount of breaks the band will take and what type of music you would like them to play during this time.

Not only is live music great for the reception, it is imperative for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Wedding planners and event planners should insist on live music as it should not be replaced with an ipod. Live music makes all the difference!
