Hire Professionals
One of the most important things to look for when you’re hiring a wedding band or singer is professionalism. They should be respectful and also knowledgeable about their profession.
A band or entertainer that performs at weddings often will know how to keep the crowd engaged and entertained.
Incorporate Interactive Elements
Another way to keep your guests entertained is to include interactive activities. This could include a photo booth, games, or dance-offs.
These will give your guests options so if they don’t like dancing or if they physically can’t, they have other things to do. Having multiple entertainment aspects will allow you to appeal to everyone in attendance, not just one group.
See Them Live
Before you book live music for a wedding, be sure to see them live. Check their schedule and if they are playing near you, buy a ticket.
Seeing them in action will give you a better idea of their vibe and how they perform in front of a large group. It will also show you if they will be a good fit for your wedding.
Communication Is Key
Be sure to communicate with your Live Exchange Party Band. This will ensure all your expectations are met. You’ll want to be specific about what music you want to be played and what you don’t.
Pay attention to their communication skills as well. Nothing’s more frustrating than contacting your entertainer and not hearing back.
