The atmosphere of a live band is always energetic and exciting, and it ensures that the music won’t just blend into the background like pre-recorded music does. A wedding band is also more personal to you as a couple, as generally you will have picked the band because of the style of music that they offer, although you must be mindful that it will also appeal to your other guests.

Many decent live bands will ensure that your wedding guests get out of their seats and onto the dancefloor, not only are they there to perform music but they can also be good an interacting with the crowd, they will pick up more quickly on what your guests respond to.

With a wedding DJ you normally provide them with a list of songs that you would like played at your wedding, however they certainly won’t have time to play them all, however with a wedding band, you generally work closer with them in advance to your big day, you can provide them with any requests, and they will put together a customised set list, especially for your special day.

Some wedding bands will not only will perform at your reception but can be included within other parts of your day, such as your ceremony, wedding breakfast, cocktail reception or to welcome your guests to the venue. Alternatively, if you like the live music vibe, you can hire different musicians to play different parts of your wedding.
