Before booking any wedding bands, always check with the reception venue you have booked as by UK law these venues require a license for holding parties with two musicians or more playing as live bands. Most should have the right license.

When considering function bands for your wedding reception consider the style or atmosphere you want, such as soul bands for quieter background music and then dancing later on in the evening or party bands for dancing all night.

When considering function bands or wedding bands the atmosphere will mostly be created by the playing band, therefore, it is important to gauge the type of ambience you wish to create.

When creating an atmosphere for dancing with party bands it is great to book live bands with a wide repertoire of music because most people at a wedding reception like to hear a mix of music styles; there tends to be a mix of ages at weddings.

Wedding bands that can play music from the 60s, 80s and other genres are the perfect live bands to consider for a music mix appealing to your wedding reception party.

Rock and soul bands are extremely popular when people are choosing their music for a reception as both of these wedding band styles add a touch of style and class to the special day.

The first dance is the one that gets the most attention so pick your wedding music well and let any wedding bands you decide to book know well in advance about your choice.
