Turning out a great wedding reception begins with the atmosphere that you create. Before you begin your search for your wedding band or wedding DJ, it is important that you give some consideration to the type of atmosphere you want your event to have. The only way that you will truly get a feel for the wedding band or wedding DJs capabilities is to actually see them in action. How are you going to do this you may wonder? Once you’ve narrowed down your choices, find out where they’re playing next season if you can get an invite if it’s a private affair and check out what they’re doing.
If you go out to clubs you may have seen a DJ that you like, approach them about playing at your wedding. Friends, relatives, coworkers, and event planners are great places to start for recommendations about local wedding bands. One of the sayings that you should keep in mind when deciding on a band is the size of your reception space. If the wedding reception is for 500 and more, that’s a pretty huge space at three piece wedding band may not be the right choice. Wedding bands and wedding DJs have to have room for their equipment, it is your job to make sure that your wedding venue not only has enough space for the quick minute, but also the proper electrical capacity.
Another consideration when looking for the perfect wedding band or wedding DJ is the number of hours you will expect them to be at your event. If you know that you have the type of friends that like to burn the midnight oil, it is better for you to consider been booked in for more time from the start. If you book for only four or five hours, the band or DJ may also have booked an event for that same day, and may not be able to stay later. Also, you have to consider that overtime fees can be very expensive. Speaking of late-night hours, check with your wedding reception venue manager to find out if there are any noise restrictions, alcohol license is that permits that you may need leaving you enough time to secure them all before the date of your event.
