How do you decide on the best Wedding Reception Band for your wedding? Don’t worry, help is at hand! Many new couples find the task of finding a wedding reception band very daunting. Broadly speaking, Jazz bands tend to be very popular at more formal wedding receptions, adding a sense of class to the atmosphere. However, a mix of repertoire to suit all ages throughout the day is usually the key and a lot of wedding reception bands have huge repertoires covering jazz, pop, blues, soul, etc. However, It is always best to discuss with the band beforehand exactly what styles you want them to perform. If you think that volume might be an issue, acoustic bands will usually be more suitable, however be sure to discuss this with both the venue and the band well in advance.
If you book a tribute band, there are two schools of thought to consider. Of course, it is your wedding day and you are entitled to book whatever act you like. However, try and make sure they are fairly “likeable” by most of the people attending. For instance, a tribute band to Nirvana might not be the best choice if you have a lot of older relatives! There are plenty different styles of music and songs to choose from - old and new, but most couples choose something with a special meaning to them. Consider whether your guests are likely to want to mainly get up and dance, or mainly chat over music in the background. If it is the latter, you should consider this when choosing your entertainment. Make sure you decide carefully what style of band you want for your wedding reception band.
When choosing a wedding reception song, perhaps for your first dance, try and think of something that is easy to dance to (not too fast!) and something with a special meaning to both of you. This might be a song you listened to when you first met, or simply a song with poignant lyrics. There are many CDs or playlists available with preset wedding music, however the band you hire will probably be able to provide you with a list of their most popular wedding song requests. Other popular suggestions for wedding drinks reception songs are:
Most couples have a first dance song, but others also have special songs for the father/bride dance songs and mother/groom dance songs, cake cutting songs, bouquet toss music, songs for grandparents and many more wedding reception songs! If you're struggling to choose music then we'd recommend this list of the 75 most romantic wedding songs of all time.
