A live wedding band can make your party a unique experience for everyone attending. Music is such an important element of the day and helps to create the right atmosphere at the venue of your choice. You want your special day to be memorable and so selecting a band can have many advantages in this respect.

One of the main advantages is that a band creates a visual and stimulating source of entertainment for every guest. Not everyone likes to dance and yet most people love to observe others dancing and having a good time. A band can provide something for everyone by acting as compare and comedian in addition to keeping the musical energy going.

A live band can work with the theme of your wedding which is another major plus. Often people choose to develop a theme for their party be it 1920s jazz, country or punk through to Scottish folk music and a live band can complement this by specializing in the genre of music that you want to use. If you can imagine it then they can play it.

Live bands know how to balance the sound quality of the performance to avoid it sounding canned. They will be able to balance the sound, allowing guests to speak and maintain conversations while still being able to hear the music at a reasonable level. Without a doubt the acoustics of live music will be superior and this will contribute to a more polished and professional feel to the event.

It is possible to audition a band in advance and make sure they are fully aware of requirements for the big day. This takes a lot of the hassle out of organizing the music and means that there is less chance of a technical problem on the day. Once the band is briefed then songs can be personalized to suit your selected theme.

The live performance centers the wedding and creates a more polished and professional feel to your event. The band usually comes with all their own equipment so you won’t have to spend valuable planning time trying to organize the hiring of extension cables and amps in between dress fittings and cake designs.

With a live band there is no need to worry about silent moments and the tempo can be modified, checked and adjusted as the party progresses. If people seem to be flagging then the band can slow down the pace and when revelers are merry then they can give energy and life to the dance floor. Many bands also specialize in different kinds of dance such as Scottish ceilidh bands or barn dances and they can help to organize groups and provide instruction on dance routines as well as taking requests. They usually sound a lot better acoustically when they are live too.

People want to treasure the memories of their special day and a live wedding band will provide unique photo opportunities and have guests talking about it for a long time after. When put into perspective with the overall cost of a wedding, a band is a small percentage of this and will always be a great way to make special memories.
