Top Reasons To Choose A Live Wedding Band
Live Wedding Bands Go Where Pre-Recorded Wedding Music Can’t
Let’s start with a huge congrats on your engagement and pending nuptials! It goes without saying the following months of planning will be full of excitement, lots of decisions and hopefully as little stress as possible. With that said, you are no doubt here because you want to find (and snatch-up) the absolute best Melbourne wedding band and engaging entertainment option for your big day.
We get it! Entertainment and music are an integral part of every wedding. We’re to help make your Melbourne wedding band choice as easy as possible with our top considerations below. Apart from the amazing music aspect, having a band physically on stage:
- Creates a great focal point for guests
- It is a more personalised experience than pre-recorded music
- Your musicians will “read the room” and encourage people to mix and mingle
INSIDER’S TIP: You don’t need that giant ice sculpture of a dolphin to draw people’s attention and be a show-stopping feature – you’ll have an incredible live band!
Distinctive Notes For a Uniquely YOU Celebration
If you love versatility and flexibility, then a live band is going to be great for your wedding. It doesn’t matter if you envision a relaxed, laid-back wedding, or a dynamic modern affair; there is a live band choice to perfectly fit your theme and vibe – be that by the beach, vineyard, farm or city. That might mean smooth, soulful vocals accompanied by an acoustic guitar, or, perhaps you want to dance the night away to the pumping beats of live instruments mixed with a DJ – both are totally achievable!
Just like a sophisticated adult pick n’ mix, when it comes to choosing a wedding band, there really is something to suit every couples’ theme, vibe and music taste. Most bands specialise in specific styles, so you can choose the best band to bring your preferred music mix alive on your big day!
The extra sweetener is that each band of talented individuals will inject a little of their own unique and distinctive flavour into their music, so the music you know and love will have something a little extra.
Have a Personal Touch
Personal requests are part of the beauty of a live wedding band! We’ve been to a wedding where the newlyweds’ surname was “Henderson”, and they picked “Mrs Robinson” as their reception entrance song. Where the lyrics say: “Here’s to use Mrs Robinson”, the band changed this to “Here’s to you: the Henderson’s, your friends and family love you more than you can know, woah, woah, woah!”. It was a massive hit with guests too!
INSIDER’S TIP: This entire process will be as simple as possible because you’ll be paired with a fabulous entertainment coordinator. They will work closely with you to organise your wedding band and execute your requests.
The Best Wedding Bands In Melbourne Are Interactive, Customisable & Personalised
Our selection of live wedding bands give you a choice and lots of opportunities to customise things:
Review and Select Particular Song Choices
- We know it’s essential to have peace of mind ahead of time and understand that the variety of songs will meet your expectations! You can see the setlist ahead of time and request any changes.
- The best bands can also learn at least 2-3 songs of your choice – be these obscure favourites, well-known hits you and your partner love, or sentimental songs with a special meaning to you both. You can also select the time you’d like certain songs to play, so they coincide with an important moment like your first dance, reception entrance song or final song of the night.
Add on Extra Vocalists or Instruments
Why not add a smokin’ saxophonist, thumping trumpet or hypnotic bongo drum at your reception to make things even more interactive. Apart from raising the roof with an unexpected and exhilarating music twist, the musician can move around freely to engage with your guests.
A Live Wedding Band Means Music For Every Meaningful Moment
It is not an overstatement to say that wedding entertainment and music play a part in almost every aspect of your wedding, helping to complement and weave together a magical story of special moments.
Get Reception Ready
Your band will build excitement and announce you both with your song of choice for your big reception entrance as an officially married couple. This kind sees everyone on their feet clapping!
It’s first dance time, be that together or father/daughter and mother/son! As you take to the stage in each other’s arms and glide across the floor, heartfelt and soulful lyrics will be enhanced by meaningful guitar notes, exquisite vocals and raw emotion. Songs that remind you of the special bond you share with your partner, mum or dad can be re-created with the support of the best live musicians. They will help make this moment truly memorable for the rest of your lives.
Once the dancefloor *officially* opens for business, the most energetic performers, impressive showmanship, catchy melodies and big notes that will have you:
- Dancing until your feet can’t dance anymore,
- Singing all the songs (even the ones you don’t quite remember the lyrics to), or
- Having the time of your life alongside the people who mean the most to you
