Choosing Music for your wedding

Choosing a wedding band?

If have been to a wedding recently and liked the live music then you have probably already got the business card of the wedding band you saw perform. That’s likely a very safe option when booking as you can vouch first hand for the band. However, we suggest you shop around as there are a great many bands out there that may be more suited to you when you are choosing wedding music.

There are endless websites out there offering lists of live wedding bands. 
Websites can on occasions be misleading and remember a fancy site does not guarantee quality performers. You’ll get a good feel for who you are dealing with based on the responses you get. Professional bands, worth dealing with will be quick to reply, it will be personalised to your event and friendly.

Should I expect to see the band perform before I book them?

You can always ask. The band may have public performances coming up but do not expect or insist on any professional wedding bands inviting you to one of their performances.
Imagine how you would feel if a band turned up at your wedding with additional guests looking on?
Pro acts use pro live clips.
You can get a good feel for a band by simply watching their clips and by chatting to them.

What price should I pay?

Good live entertainment does come at a price, but it is well worth it for this one day of your life.

Your wedding day, for many, is the most important single in your life and you want everything to be right.
Rather than making a relatively small saving by booking your second choice, make sure you go with exactly what you want when you are choosing wedding music.

The live band is the biggest thing on show after the wedding dress and you’ll want them to look and sound great, be happy to be there and ready to entertain all of your guests.

A testimonial from a wedding gig I did. 

YOU ALWAYS ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS WHICH WAS A BIG ISSUE WITH OTHER VENDORS.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for your performance at our wedding and all your hard work in the lead up to the day, (especially learning those songs for us). 
Lots of people commented on how fantastic you were..Paul and I totally agree, both yourself and the other vendors made our wedding a day we will never forget as long as we live – it was a dream come true for both of us …everything was perfect.

Your performance was fantastic – great songs, great voice, you did a wonderful job MC’ing as well, exactly what we wanted for our wedding.

The website was great.
Everything I needed to know for choosing wedding music was on those pages. The wedding song list – I did not want to choose the reception songs, I thought it was great that a list of really good songs was already done (You had a great mix that I knew everyone would love).

After seeing you perform and from numerous email we could tell that you were very friendly, professional and was experienced (ie. had done weddings before). The price was extremely reasonable.

You are a great person to deal with, always responding to my emails very efficiently, you listened to what Paul and I wanted and incorporated those things and also had some great suggestions.

You always answered my questions which was a big issue with other vendors and generally just a nice down to earth person – what else could a bride/groom ask for ??
All our expectations were met. So many people at the wedding and also afterward have said to Paul and me how fantastic they thought you were – two of my cousins who are getting married next year asked for your web address and details !!

I hope we get to see you perform again, I will certainly be checking your website to look at your gig guide every now and again….

Take care and thank you so much once again – absolutely fantastic !!
