So, you’re shopping for a wedding band this week. Here are the Top Ten suggestions of things to look for and questions to ask;
- Is the band a set band with the same musicians all the time?
- Does the band have its own name or is it a generic name used by other bands in the company?
- Do I get to meet the bandleader and go over everything in a face-to-face meeting, prior to my wedding? Or will it impersonal, done through emails and an online form?
- Will the bandleader be my point of contact?
- Do I get to choose songs and help plan the band’s playlist for my wedding?
- Is the band willing to learn songs that are not on their song list?
- Does the band play continuously including lighter music during the dinner courses?
- What is the instrumentation of the band? What options do I have to add or subtract musicians and vocalists?
- Will I get the musicians and vocalists that I see?
- What are my options for ceremony and cocktail music?
