Hiring a wedding band can be intimidating...

Music is one of the most vital elements of any event, be it a wedding reception, ceremony, or simply a cocktail hour before dinner. The entertainment can make (or break) the mood and energy of your guests, so it is easy to see how a great Wedding Band or DJ should be one of your most crucial hires.

After literally hundreds of weddings and private events, we have spent some time collecting answers to some of the most common questions, concerns, and contemplations that we hear from our clients, and we have packaged them together in this handy step-by-step guide that will help you navigate through the potentially daunting process of hiring entertainment for your wedding.

Believe it or not, there is actually a flow in energy and excitement on the dance floor, and it’s important to have a playlist designed around what makes your dream wedding reception come to life! The playlist needs to work around some of your favorites, as well as include some classics that are sure to get the rest of your guests on their feet. It's important to note the value of when a song is played. When we are designing the perfect setlist for a wedding reception, we typically aim to hook the audience (young and old) first with a song everybody loves, and then keep them having a blast on the dance floor the rest of the night.
