A lot of time and energy goes into hiring a band to play at your wedding or special event. It’s not something you can hold off until last minute, hoping it will all pan out. This is not a movie. With that being said, there are many factors to consider when hiring the perfect band to play as you walk down the aisle or celebrate a special occasion. That entails, knowing the appropriate band size for your event.
Choosing A Band
First, it’s important to make choosing a band a main priority for your event entertainment because music is the life of the party. Think about it. How many times have you gone to an office party and realized, it’s all the same. Same people, same topics, same boring music. But how many times have you gone to a concert or live event and felt the excitement in the air? It’s a different feeling and a more memorable one. That’s how you want your guest to feel once they leave your event. Therefore, choosing the perfect band goes hand in hand with knowing how many people you want performing on stage.
What’s Your Theme?
What you want to do, first, is know your theme. What will your event look like? Will there be dancing or more conversing? Will your guest be eating or standing? Once you have that figured out, consider choosing the music type.
What Type Of Music Do You Want?
Usually, choosing your music type will eliminate how many members are in a band. Having a 15-piece big band for your quiet dinner, will be too loud for your guest to hold a conversation. Therefore, be realistic with your needs and don’t forget to even talk with the bandleader about your ideas and needs. This will help them get a sense of your expectations. Sometimes, a band with four people is enough. Less is more.
Good Matches For Events
If you are still having a difficult time choosing, here are some helpful pairings for choosing the appropriate band size for your event. For instance, if it’s a cocktail party or dinner consider choosing a small, acoustic jazz trio or quartet. This will allow for your guest to talk without being overpowered by the music. Moreover, it will be the perfect background music for your guest. Wedding ceremonies are good for having a pianist, organist, classical duo or trio, and brass Quintet. Keeping it classy will give off the a wedding feel you want your guest to experience. On the other hand, if your party will have dancing, choose from a large band with a drummer and lots of horns. In addition, choose from a variety of bands with a vocalist to get people moving and singing along.
Factors like pricing, and location will all come later, but the main focus is knowing who’s right to play at your event.
