Reception Music
 

When looking for entertainment for your reception, there are many things to keep in mind.  The kind of band is important. You have specific needs.

Number one is interaction with the party itself, that is, announcements and introductions, coordinating with the director, photographer an guests.

Number two is styles of music and even particular songs.  A group or performer who can play something for everyone will ensure that all are entertained.

The volume level is important because there is a lot of conversation and no one wants to scream to be heard.  But you want dancers to feel comfortable on the dance floor.

What do they wear?  

Generally, tuxedos and gowns are in order for performers.

So when you call for entertainment ask:

1) Is the date available?

2) What type of music do you or can you play:  Do you have a song list?

3) How do you handle emceeing and announcing?

4) Who, locally, can you ask to describe the group and their performance?

5) What do you wear?

6) Can you provide a tape or video or at least a picture?

7) Can part of the group play for the cocktail and or dinner hour before the dancing begins?
