What to Look for In
Wedding Bands
• Get Referrals
o When you want to find a quality band that will play the tunes you like for
your wedding reception, ask your family and friends for
recommendations. If you’ve attended a wedding for a loved one in the
last few months and enjoyed the band, ask your relative or friend for the
band’s contact information. If your company has recently had a band to
perform for a corporate event, talk to the colleague who organized the
event to get more information on the band. This will make it easier for you
to narrow down your choices and pick the band that best suits you.
• Hear the Band Play
o When you find a wedding band that you’re interested in, go to a few of
their live performances before making the final decision to book them.
This will allow you to see how the band interacts with an audience and
how professional they are under pressure. You’ll also get to see how the
audience responds to the band, and these factors will give you an idea of
how your wedding guests will like the music. Of course, it also helps to
listen to a few online clips of the band performing at various venues to
help you make your final decision.
