If you want to only dance the night away, then by all means book a DJ for your event. But if you want great rapport with your guests, so that they enjoy themselves, then think about getting live music at your wedding reception or any other event that you might be planning.
We always want music at our functions because it sets the tone for the day or evening and puts guests into a relaxed state of mind. This is really important, as you want them to have a good time. So getting a live band to entertain and help make it a success, you need to know what to look out for.
Firstly you need to find out if the venue you chose will allow for live music to be played. Will it be alright to set up a stage with lighting and sound equipment? Many wedding venues won't have any problems with this, but just make sure to be safe.
It also depends on which genre of music you like and which you think the majority of your guests will appreciate. You should know the age groups and can work off this to get the most versatile band to do the gig. It is also important for you to tell them what you absolutely won't tolerate and what music you love. They basically should be experts enough to please a wide audience.
Once the band has established a rapport with the guests by making a few jokes or singing a really popular song, the evening is pretty much in their hands. They should thus be experienced enough to know when to crank it up or when to play some love songs and when to only play background music if necessary.
It is also important for you to choose a band who don't have their own agenda by playing only their style of music when given the chance. You don't want your guests to feel they must leave the p[arty because of rap or hip hop music being played and no one can understand it. So set the boundaries and request that certain music not be played at all. If you have a mature enough band, then they will know how to handle the evening, without you worrying about it much.
A live band is pretty much at your beck and call for the duration of the event so make sure that they follow your instructions. They should not be drinking on stage and there should never be vulgar language in their music or in their conversations with the guests. They should therefore be professional enough to understand this.
If your event is a wedding, then it is important that the band members be dressed appropriately. It is not acceptable for them to be on stage with denim and t-shirts looking like they just woke up. It is good to have them dress smart casual and if there is a female vocalists, she should not be under-dressed as to stage up the bride.
In conclusion, to have live music at your event, will only add to your success. They create fantastic ambiance and will instantly get your guests enjoying themselves, making it a day to remember.
