Weddings are one of the most important moments in life, and music plays a vital role in creating a romantic, warm and joyful atmosphere. Choosing the right wedding band or music performance and properly arranging the performance time can add brilliance to your wedding and create unforgettable memories. This article will explore the best length of wedding performances, with a range of three to four hours, and provide you with detailed arrangement suggestions.
Why choose three to four hours?
Three to four hours of performance time is the golden time summed up by many Hong Kong wedding bands and newlyweds, for the following reasons:
Cover the main process of the wedding: Three to four hours of playing time is enough to cover the main process of the wedding, including guest reception, the entrance of the newlyweds, the ceremony, dining time, toasting, and seeing off guests.
Keep the guests interested: Too short playing time may not be able to fully create the atmosphere, while too long playing time may make the guests feel tired. The length of three to four hours can not only meet the needs of the wedding process, but also keep the guests interested.
Physical considerations of the band: Wedding band members need to maintain a high level of performance for a long time, and three to four hours of performance time is also a more reasonable consideration for the band's physical strength.
Budget considerations: The longer the performance, the higher the live band fee. A performance of three to four hours is usually easier to control in terms of budget.
