A Bride's Guide To Choosing Wedding Bands In South Florida

By Marie Powell


For most people, planning a wedding is the first time they will have had to organize a major social event. There are many choices that a couple will need to make to ensure that their special day is perfect. If you have decided that you want live music, there are many wedding bands in South Florida for you to pick from. Here are some things to consider when looking for performers.

Budgeting is really important when it comes to wedding planning but it is especially important to do before you start looking at bands. This is because prices can vary quite a bit from group to group and so knowing what you want to spend will help you eliminate some groups.

You will need to make a few decisions before you start looking for a South Florida band. You may want to think about whether the band will play during the meal or if you will want them playing the entire evening. There are advantages to either choice so ultimately, it will be up to you and the vision you have for your special day.

Picking a venue first will also help the selection process. Knowing the size of the room is important. Smaller places will be overwhelmed by a large band. There may not be enough room for the musicians to set up or they may be too close to the guests. Conversely, a large venue may mean you need a larger band so that people can hear their sound properly.

Everyone has gone to a club or reception where the music has been too loud during dinner. That can make it hard for your guests to talk and may make them feel uncomfortable. You should make sure that the band you hire can adjust what they are doing to make sure it suits all parts of your celebration.

Are you someone who wants your chosen band to play all one kind of music? Do you have specific song requests that you will want them to play? Knowing what your expectations are will help you avoid disappointment and find groups that will work with your wedding day vision.

If you are working with a professional planner you should be able to get potential names of musical ensembles from them. Other places that may have potential choices include: the venue where your celebration will take place, community arts organizations and even night clubs or booking agents. Couples who married recently should also be able to give you ideas about potential bands you might be able to hire. If you want a single musician, you may want to ask music schools if they have any teachers or senior students that might be able to meet your needs.

Meeting with potential choices is important. Be prepared with a list of questions. Feel free to discuss their rates and ensure they include any incidental charges. Also ask them if they have a demo tape that you can listen to so that you get an idea of what they sound like. That way you can ensure you know what kind of music you will be listening to on your big day.
