What songs will a wedding band perform?

Professional wedding bands usually have extensive song lists - they're experienced musicians and will cater the songs they play to fit the mood of the wedding reception party and whatever your playlist requirements were. A wedding band's first priority is hitting the right tunes at the right time, getting your guests dancing, and making sure the evening is unforgettable. Unlike a pre-organised Spotify playlist, wedding bands will 'read the room', providing the right musical atmosphere to suit the moment. Make sure you tell the band the song you'd like them to play for the first dance well in advance - they might already know it, but best not to risk it!

When should I get the band to perform?

After the wedding dinner is usually your best bet. The band will normally set-up during dinner, and be ready to start the party when you are. If you're after something low-key, getting the band to play background music is not unheard of, just simply let them know beforehand.

Will the wedding band provide all their own equipment?

Wedding bands will come well-prepared with all their own equipment: lights, PA system, music gear, and sometimes even a sound assistant! To give them a break between their sets, they will also often provide a DJ service, which will keep the guests happy and the dancefloor moving and grooving.

When it comes to wedding fashion, our favourite bridesmaid dress trend is a single color in an assortment of different styles. It feels modern and fresh, and allows everyone to choose a gown they feel totally comfortable in. Caroline’s best girls rocked this trend in shades of pale pink, which beautifully complemented her incredible Mira Zwillinger gown and bright spring flowers. Swoon!

Caroline and Jeremy’s wedding plans were thwart by Covid. Tired of waiting, they married in a church in their hometown of Kansas with immediate family last year. Fast forward to 2022 and it was time to celebrate in style. They hosted their wedding at La Quinta Country Club in California, on the PGA Tour played championship golf course overlooking the Santa Rosa mountains for that quintessential desert scape view.

After the ceremony, guests were ushered to the open veranda for cocktails and apps, while the Eisenhower reception room was transformed with blooms hanging from every chandelier, combined with low florals so guests could dine and mingle unobstructed. During dinner, while the band played to a room full of mingling guests, an artist painted the live scene before the dance floor exploded with bodies swaying and espresso martinis were passed for an extra boost of energy to fuel dancing late into the night.
