Thinking of booking a live band for your wedding? Here is a
few tips to help you decide on how to hire
a band for your special occasion.

When you have chosen your venue check how much
space there is for a band and how many could fit in the space allocated. This may be only suitable for a 3 or 4 piece rather than a larger size band. Some venues may have a stage in place but for others, you will have to make the best of what is available.

limiter, this may reduce your options to acoustic
bands only. There is more information on sound limiters on Music8 blog page.

all your guests? With all styles of bands to choose from like funk, soul, indie,

different genres so there is something for everyone.

lighting.
