How to find a professional wedding band
There are thousands of bands out there but how do you go about finding a quality live wedding band? Unless you happen to know a really great wedding band on your doorstep then you will have to look elsewhere. On the most important day of your life you don’t want to take any chances with the wedding entertainment. In cases such as this your first port of call should be an entertainment agent.
You can find one simply by searching the internet. It’s important thought to have a look through the range of acts they supply. There are lots of very reputable music agents out there but as in any industry you have to be careful. You will get a feeling for how trustworthy the agent is so trust your instincts.
It’s important to speak to the agent and tell them your exact requirements. They will have wedding bands that can perform in a variety of genres so have a think first about what style you want. Soul and funk bands are very popular for weddings. The agent will direct you to bands on their website where you can usually listen to demo recordings or watch videos. This is a hugely important step and you probably won’t get the opportunity to watch the band live. Listen carefully to how well the band play together and the quality of the recording. A band that has spent some time on their promotional material are often serious professionals. Bear in mind that the recording may sound very different to the band live so try and watch a video too.
If you can speak to past clients about the quality of the band then that is a good start. At least then you will have a bit more confidence in their abilities as wedding musicians. You may also be able to find reviews of bands online. There are several good sites out there simply by searching the internet.
By working with an entertainment agent you are sure to get professional advice and guidance and it will take the stress out of planning your entertainment needs.
