4 Qualities to Look Out for When Hiring A Live Band for Your Wedding
2020-05-12

So you’ve decided to hire a live band for your wedding. It provides interactive entertainment for your guests, helps to set the mood for your wedding, and adds a human touch for an unforgettable experience.

But with so many live bands to choose from, how do you decide which to engage? Besides ensuring that the band’s music style align with yours, here are 4 qualities to look out for in a live band to know that they’re the one: 

1. Experience

While it doesn’t mean that a newly-formed band isn’t any good at making music (there are many talented budding musicians out there!), hiring a band that has amassed some experience under their belt helps to guarantee that the band is capable of pulling off the show that they’ve promised you at your wedding. 

They’ll also be more prepared to tackle unforeseen emergencies that may happen on the day itself, which includes technical, equipment faults or a delay in plans. You’ll also be able to feel more at ease since they have reviews and past performances for you to view beforehand. 

2. Stamina

Performing four songs and performing for four hours back-to-back are two very different things. If you wish for music to be playing for the entire duration of your ceremony, which typically lasts about two to four hours long, you’ll need to find a live band who has the stamina to last all night long.

Usually, most bands may perform in sets to ensure a consistent energy level throughout their songs, but there are bands such as AGOPSG who can deliver soul-stirring, body-grooving, or heart-fluttering tunes from the start till the end of the wedding.

3. Versatility

Chances are, you’ll have guests of different generations at your wedding. From your grandparents to your peers, in order to make sure that the music reaches out to every one of them, it’s best to find a live band who has a versatile enough repertoire that can cater to the crowd. This includes not just performing songs from various eras but also performing in several languages, such as English, Mandarin, and dialects!

4. Professionalism

As the bride and groom, the only thing that you should be doing at your wedding is to enjoy yourselves. Leave the logistics and all the stress of making sure that your big day goes as smooth-sailing as possible to your team, which includes your wedding planner (if any), bridal entourage, and wedding vendors.

This includes the live band that you’ve decided to engage, so make sure to find one that can and is willing to settle everything for you, from the providing of equipment to the set-up.
