How to Find the Ideal Wedding Band

---

1. 🔍 Choose a band based on your wedding style

Different wedding styles are suited to different music genres:

Wedding Style

Suitable Bands/Music Genres

Elegant and Romantic

Jazz Band, Small String Quartet

Rural and Outdoor

Folk Band, Acoustic Guitar and Vocals

Urban and Stylish

Funk/Soul Band, Pop Arrangement Band

Traditional Chinese

Fusion Chinese and Western Band, Guzheng and Drums, etc.

2. 🎤 Arrange a band for key moments during your wedding.

Let the band's music permeate the entire wedding experience, enhancing the overall experience:

Guest entrance/cocktail hour: Soft background music (piano + saxophone)

Ceremony/bride's entrance: Live entrance music, such as Canon in D or At Last

First dance: A special performance of a song chosen by the couple

Cake cutting, toasts, and game time: Upbeat jazz or pop music

Dance floor time: Upbeat arrangements of funk, soul, or pop

3. 🎼 Discuss your repertoire and preferences with the band

Provide in advance:

Your musical preferences (and dislikes)

A specific song list

Also, consider whether the band should play:

Your personal love song

Both your parents' favorite songs

Guest requests (if you'd like to participate)

4. 📋 Confirm equipment and venue requirements

Live performances require basic equipment and space:

Does the band provide their own speakers/microphones/instruments?

Does the venue provide electrical outlets/stage screens/lighting?

Does the venue require outdoor backup (for quick equipment transfer in case of rain)?

✅ Tip: Have a wedding planner or officiant assist with the band coordination process to avoid confusion.

5. 👔 Etiquette and Clothing

Professional bands typically wear formal attire appropriate to the occasion, but you can also request a theme, such as:

Retro Jazz Style: Suit, bow tie, shirt

Outdoor Casual Style: White shirt + suspenders, cotton and linen clothing

Dinner Style: All-black stage attire or formal wear

6. 💰 Budget and Quote Transparency

Prices vary significantly between bands and depend on the following factors:

Number of musicians (two-person group vs. a full six-person band)

Performance Length (3 hours or the entire dinner)

Is sound equipment, transportation, and special repertoire rehearsal included?

Suggestions:

Request a detailed quote

Confirm the cancellation policy and filing terms

Sign a simple contract or partnership agreement with the band

7. 🌟 Live Interaction and Creating a Live Atmosphere

A good live band doesn't just play; they also interact with guests and liven up the atmosphere:

The lead singer can act as the host

Incorporate simple interactions into the performance
