What are you planning to do for your wedding reception entertainment? Well, if you’re following the standard script, you’re probably going to hire a hall or restaurant, complete with a DJ, where you and your loved ones will eat, drink, dance, and celebrate.
With everything else considered, why not use the services of a company like http://www.msmusic.co.uk/ and have a live band for your reception to put your own unique spin on your event?
Here are 3 reasons why you should really give a live band some thought.
1) The Music Will Sound Better Than With A DJ
This might go without saying, but listening to live music is just a more vivid, all-encompassing, and exciting experience than listening to pre-recorded music being played over a sound system.
While the best DJs will be able to carefully select the right tracks (and play them through high-end sound equipment) so that the room comes alive and everyone has a great time, a live band provides what many consider to be a higher quality auditory experience.
2) A Band Can Help To Create The Kind Of Atmosphere You Want
To a large degree, a successful wedding reception is always a matter of capturing and evoking the right kind of atmosphere.
Sometimes a wedding reception will have a particular theme — like Wild West, James Bond, or 90’s throwback — but at other times it’s just a matter of matching your mood and interests and transporting your guests into a corner of your mind, so to speak.
A live band can go a long way towards helping to create the kind of atmosphere you want. You can hire a themed band (Elvis impersonation rockabilly? 80’s power ballad tribute?). Or just have a word with the band leader about the atmosphere you want and the kinds of songs that will help evoke this feeling.
3) A Live Band Is More Interactive
A live band simply tends to be more interactive than a DJ. A live band will feed off the energy of the crowd as they dance and celebrate, and will amp the crowd up in turn.
A live band can also personalize songs and put their own unique spin on them, in such a way as to make the whole experience feel more intimate.
Ultimately, a live band is a set of real, living people, performing each song for you, whereas music played off a sound-system is just audio data stored on various devices.
