So when your vows have been exchanged it’s time to head off
to your reception and party like you’ve never partied before, after all, it is
your wedding. If you are thinking of having live music playing at your
reception, then there are plenty of live
bands for hire out there plus the wedding
DJ’s and wedding singers. But first, please check with the venue where
you’re going to have your reception, to see what type of live music they allow.
Some venues may have restrictions when it comes to live music. One restriction
would be a sound limiter in place. A sound limiter is an electrical device that
measures the amount of volume in a room. If that volume reaches a certain level
the sound limiter will cut the electric supply to the stage. This would ruin
any live music you have in place.
The type of music that you choose to play at your wedding
should be an expression of the overall theme of your wedding.
It’s very important to select the right music throughout the
wedding, and right down to the reception. Music creates the atmosphere and it
will set the mood for your wedding.
Hire a DJ
For the reception, the bride and groom have a choice of a DJ
or live music in the form of a band or a singer. The best thing about a DJ is
you can request to have all of your favourite tunes on his playlist. There are
many top-quality DJs that are available to play for wedding receptions. You
could always check out Music8 Agency. Once you’ve settled on a DJ, have a
one-on-one with them to discuss the type of entertainment and mood you want to
have during the reception.
A Formal Wedding
For more formal weddings, classical groups, pianists, and
instrumentalists are more appropriate. A string quartet is a wonderful choice
if you are getting married in a church. It would be a good idea to take into
account your guests and choose something that would be suitable for everyone.
They not only play classical music they will also perform more modern tunes
which may be more suitable for your guests.
Wedding Singers
You could choose a solo singer for your wedding that would
perform your special song for your first dance and bring a magical moment and
one you will never forget. There are many different solo wedding singers to
choose from including an acoustic guitarist that could perform in the afternoon
with a more chilled set of music and in the evening with a more upbeat set
including your favourite tunes to dance to. Popular choices are wedding
singers that perform along to high-quality backing tracks and they will
have a limitless amount of songs to perform too. You could go from a Rat Pack
style singer to a surprise singing waiter, the choice is endless.
Hire a Live Band
If you want to have a fantastic and exciting time at the
reception, then hiring a band is possibly the best way to go! The sheer
energy of a live band would get everyone going.
Before hiring a band check out their live videos and song
repertoire and make sure it suits your style of wedding. It’s best to hire a band that has had previous
experience with wedding receptions and Music8 would be the perfect choice to
find your ideal band. You always want to keep the music going and a
professional band will always have music playing in-between their live sets.
Roaming bands
If you are having an outside wedding in a tipi for instance
then you could consider choosing a roaming band. This type of band will mingle
amongst your guests and will keep everyone entertained while having drinks.
Vintage Bands
Another choice could be a vintage style band, these come in
many styles like a vintage jazz band for your wedding would open up a wealth of
possibilities. Vintage bands cover anything from the Roaring 1920s to the 1960s
and the scope of themes you can pick from in that range is some of the
classiest and easiest to organise out there. You could go for Gatsby glam style
to rock and roll.
In conclusion
There is a lot to think about when it comes to choosing your
music style you would like at your wedding whether you choose a DJ or wedding
singer or a live wedding band. Take your time and make sure you book early to
avoid and disappointment.
