Wedding Band Wales – Questions to Ask your Wedding Band.
If you are booking a live band in wales for your wedding it is worth considering a few pointers of what you should ask them before the big day.
The first thing you should confirm with your band is how long they will agree to play for and when you would like the performing times to take place. For, example bands often don’t play past 12 o clock at night so it is worth getting timings clarified. Also, it is good to agree the bands arrival time and allow good time for a set up which normally takes about one and half hours.
Ask if the band will perform your first dance to make the moment even more special
The band can structure the songs around the evening, building dynamic with song choice
The second thing is to ask the band is if they are insured and hold a public liability license. You don’t want any last minute surprises, as many wedding venues in Wales require all bands to be insured to play.
It is also worth asking the wedding band what set of songs they are going to play on the night. This will give you a good idea of what type of band they are and if they can create a good upbeat, party vibe. Some bands will also agree to learn a first dance for you- it is a good idea to ask the band if they offer this service.
You may wish to also ask the band if any of the musicians from the band can provide music for the wedding ceremony itself, or as background music for a drinks reception. Many wedding bands in Wales can also go out as smaller duos and trios that can provide acoustic music to accompany any part of your wedding day. This will often be for an extra fee, but it can really add a great deal to the romantic atmosphere.
The final thing to ask the band is how much space they require to set up all their instruments. This will rarely be a problem in the bigger city hotels, but in some country manors the performing space can be limited- so its good for the band and venue to communicate and agree a place for the band to set up.
Booking directly with the band gives you that special, personal service
