Question 1

What Type Of Band Do You Want?

Accepted Answer

There are different types of bands a couple can hire for their wedding. First, determine the type of music you want to be played – Sinatra, Marvin Gaye, Beyoncé. “There are some bands that are set up to play a wide variety of music to accommodate the variety of guests with various ages and tastes in music,” Jim tells WeddingWire. Couples can also find a specialty group that focuses on a specific genre or era of music, such as Motown, the ‘80s, Latin Bands, Klezmer Bands and cover bands.

Question 2

Should You Hire One Band Or Several?

Accepted Answer

One band should be able to play music at your ceremony, cocktail, and reception. And though you can decide to hire specialty groups for each event, you should hire a wedding band that’s versatile enough to play a wide range of musical genres throughout the wedding. “We suggest the couple think about their musical preferences for the ceremony and cocktails, and from there we can decide what instrumentation would make the most sense,” says Lisa of Élan Artists. “If the couple is looking for a different ceremony and cocktail experience, adding a new group can be a way to build variety into their special day.”

Question 3

Can We Choose Which Songs You Play?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We have a huge set list covering many different styles. Before your day, we encourage you to highlight all the songs that you do or don't want us to play from our song list. Please also send through all other requests that you and your guests have; either we'll be able to perform them for you, or we can program them into our break music playlists.

Question 4

How Long Is The Band Call Time For A Reception?

Accepted Answer

Our reception bookings cover a 5 hour period, from the time the band has to be set up, to when we finish. So for instance 5pm till 10pm, or 6pm till 11pm.

We can certainly be flexible by going over a few songs, but 5.5 hours from setup till the finish is the maximum included in our standard prices. After that, we can add extra sets or overtime for $55 per player per 45 min set or per hour of call time.

Question 5

What Are 'Band Backing Tracks'?

Accepted Answer

We will get the party started using backing tracks when we want a little more than just straight DJing in the solo and duo packages. We play tracks that sound exactly like the original songs but have the vocals and guitar removed, which we then perform live. So we sound exactly like a band is playing behind us with our live vocals over the top, allowing us to amp up the crowd and get everyone having a great time!
