Wedding Reception Bands

How to choose a wedding reception band…

How do you decide on the best Wedding Reception Band for your wedding? Don’t worry, help is at hand! Many new couples find the task of finding a wedding reception band very daunting. Jazz bands tend to be very popular at wedding receptions. A mix of repertoire to suit all ages throughout the day is the key. A lot of wedding reception bands have huge repertoires covering jazz, pop, blues, soul, etc. It is best to discuss with the band beforehand exactly what styles you want them to perform.

If you book a tribute band, try and make sure they are fairly “likeable” by most people. For instance, a tribute band to the Spice Girls might not be the best choice for the wide audience that will be attending! If you think volume might be an issue, be sure to discuss this with the venue and the band well in advance. There are plenty different styles of music and songs to choose from - old and new, but most couples choose something with a special meaning to them. Consider whether your guests are likely to want to mainly get up and dance, or mainly chat over the music. If it is the latter, you should ask the band for more background music so as not to “take over” the show and drown all conversation! Make sure you decide carefully what style of band you want for your wedding reception band!
