Wedding Bands – 4 Common Misconceptions

Most people are very confused when it comes to deciding between wedding bands. However, the right band can make a huge difference to the event. Well-selected music will ensure that the guests have a really great time. In addition, it will help the couple express their personalities and preferences.

There are quite a few misconceptions regarding what wedding bands can do. If you have a good idea regarding what to expect then you will be able to select a really good band for your special day.

1. Live bands take a lot of breaks. It is true that bands do need to take breaks in between sets because live performances are very strenuous. Even so, you can negotiate with your band to cut down the duration of the breaks. If the band is sufficiently large then you could get them to take breaks one person at a time. Of course, you’ll also have to make it worth their while, perhaps by offering them a comfortable room to rest in and nice food to eat.

2. Live bands will dictate terms to you. Bands do have a few do’s and don’ts when it comes to the kind of music they play. Experienced bands will tell you which songs will be appreciated and which ones won’t. Also, bands generally refuse to play songs that are completely different from their repertoire. As long as you are reasonable with your requirements your band will be glad to offer you good service.

3. Bands tend to play stereotypical music. You probably believe this because all the live bands that perform at weddings tend to play similar songs. You can easily avoid this problem by selecting unusual songs to be performed on your big day. Also, even if a band has a certain repertoire it will generally be able to add variety to the play list.

4. Small local bands tend to be unreliable: While this is true in many instances it is certainly not the norm. In any case, it’s best to have a proper contract with the band so that there is no room for error.

Now that you have a good idea of what to expect from wedding bands you can go ahead and hire the best possible one for your big day. Your guests will agree that you made all the necessary arrangements with a great deal of concern for their enjoyment.
