Summary

This guide may make it seem as though booking a band for your wedding is a complicated affair littered with obstacles. In reality, a professional and experienced function band that are used to performing at weddings will make this entire process run smoothly. Their experience will give them the skills and knowledge to deal with all types of situations. They will liaise with the venue manager and other contractors to ensure that your day goes without a hitch.

 

Having a professional live band will create an atmosphere at your wedding that cannot be matched by any DJ or other form of entertainment. A good band will understand how much this day means to you and they will do everything they can to make your wedding reception a truly memorable night.

 

If the band gave a fantastic performance at your wedding do remember to drop them a line and say thank you. No band can have too many positive testimonials from their clients!

The Sound Check

The acoustics of every venue are different. Therefore, most bands will want to perform a Sound Check once their equipment is setup and ready for use. A Sound Check normally consists of the band playing through 2 or 3 songs to allow the Sound Engineer to check that all of the levels are correct and that no feedback is produced.

 

If a full Sound Check is not possible either because the band have limited time to setup or due to a spill-over of noise during your speeches, the band may be forced to perform a Line Check.

 

A Line Check is a short test of the volume levels of each instrument and microphone. A Line Check should take just a few minutes and will cause little or no disruption. There is however a risk that the Line Check may not have highlighted some acoustic problems that could cause feedback once the band starts playing.

 

If at all possible try to allow the band enough time for a full Sound Check before their first performance.
