Live Wedding Bands in Scotland

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

There are many companies who provide live Wedding and Function bands that do functions throughout the country.  Everyone of them will tell you how superb they are, but how would you trust their own opinion? This blog gives you Key Tips that will help you get the perfect Band for your big day. The following tips are from the founder and owner of Scotland’s fastest growing Wedding Entertainment Agency, Wedding bands Scotland.

Tip 1 (It’s all about your venue)

Ultimately the size and layout of the function suite within your Wedding venue will determine how big or small a band you can have, always ensure there is adequate set up room in your venue to accommodate the kind of band you have in your mind’s eye, i.e., semi live or fully live. Increasingly, the environmental health agency are installing electronic sound limiters within Wedding venues, again this will restrict you to a semi live band, as most live bands tend to set these devises of the Richter scale.

Tip 2 (Semi Live or Fully Live, What’s the difference?)

A Semi live band will normally be made up of 1 - 4 members and will use backing tracks as their main form of musical accompaniment. Fully live bands will play and produce all the music that is being performed.

Tip 3 (Don’t believe everything you hear)

All bands will tell you that they are wonderful; the harsh reality is that many of them simply aren’t. A good professional Wedding band should be able to provide you with good information. If they can’t provide you with the following, then they are probably not worth booking.

  • Set list - This will contain all of the songs that the band perform in their repertoire.
  • Demo MP3 - This will be a CD or a file that you can download of the band performing a few songs
  • Testimonials - Any good band will have genuine client testimonials, if they don’t have this, Start Worrying!
  • Biographies - All pro wedding bands will have on their website a brief biography of the members in the band and their musical accomplishments.
Tip 4 (Try before you buy)

This is the ultimate in risk reversal, go and see the band perform live at a wedding or function, that way, you will know exactly what to expect on the night. Even if it’s a bit of a trek, travel to see the band live, it will be worth and will give you loads of peace of mind.
