Finding the Right
Wedding Bands
• Figure Out Your Theme
o Before you find the perfect wedding band for your big day, figure out the
theme you want for your wedding. For instance, if you’re wearing a
vintage dress and your wedding party will be dressed in clothing that is
reminiscent of past decades, you should find a band that plays music
indicative of the style period. For instance, wearing a flapper style
wedding dress and birdcage hat in lieu of a veil probably means that
you’ll want live jazz music at your reception.
• Get Recommendations
o If you’re not sure which bands are the best in your area, get a few
recommendations from family and friends. For instance, if a colleague of
yours had a great band at his/her company Christmas party, ask about
the band so that you can book them for the wedding. If you’ve been to a
wedding or vow renewal recently and enjoyed the band, don’t leave the
reception without getting the contact information on the band. If you
mention that you’ve got a referral for the band, there’s a chance that the
wedding band may offer you discounted prices.
