Get the Sound Right

Wedding bands are a blended bag regarding what they include in the sound system. Therefore, before signing any contract with any sound system provider, knowing what is included in the deal and what is not for their pricing is crucial to the quality of your wedding band and understanding what you’re paying for. 

You may want to hire an entire sound system. You will likelier work with a competent company to manage the system on-site throughout the event. Be sure that this is one detail you don't want to compromise or skimp on. The surest way to avoid clearing the room so soon is hiring a band with reputable acoustics. 



One excellent way to tell a tremendous sound system company from others is that reputable companies ask to inspect the ground before the wedding day to ascertain which equipment can work best in the space. 

Provide Fantastic Lighting 

Having good lighting is a deciding factor in your band. Therefore, lighting is just as crucial as the sound after working on it because imagine having a good sound, but your band cannot be seen. Of course, that is a big problem. 

However, this is not the time to implement those crazy, flashing rainbow-hued lighting. Consider working with a sturdy lighting manager who will carefully study your space to know the perfect lighting schemes for your space and the performing team. Your lighting should be decent and brings a complimentary theme to your dance floor. 



You also need dappled light on the ground while considering a chandelier overhead.

Elevate Your Band Stage

When a band is on the same level as the dance floor, they tend to feel less impactful, so bringing in the right stage is vital. Depending on the look of your reception, you can work with your rental company to develop a stage skirt that blends well. So, rather than using the traditional black cotton-poly skirt that comes with the stage, you may be able to rent wood slats or something that pairs seamlessly with the rustic floors of a barn or glossy white marble in a ballroom. You can also work with your floral team to create a bloom wrap to enhance the stage's look. (1)

Order Appropriate Band attire. 

While most wedding bands know how to dress the part, you want to double-check to confirm if they align and conform to the theme of your venue and the wedding style. This is your big day, and you don't want to leave anything to fate. 



Suppose you are having a black-tie wedding in a museum. In that case, the women should be in full-length dresses while the male musicians should maintain black suits and ties to adorn the wedding venue perfectly. Also, a flexible band will give you a few options to choose from. You want to maintain these precise and critical details during your big day. 

Create an Impactful Backdrop 

Consider working with your florist to create an impactful backdrop because you want something that pops. Although you may be tempted to confine your wedding in a small corner of the room, allowing more attention and space for a backdrop setup creates more space for the performing band and photographers to do what they do best. 

However, you may hardly need to add more details if your venue's backdrop has an existing backdrop, such as tall barn doors or greenery. 

Even better, creating an impactful backdrop comes with great perks, including elevating the theme and décor of your wedding, hiding the imperfections of your wedding venue, and offering a wide selection of colors, materials, and styles. 



Another benefit of using an impactful backdrop is that it offers a gorgeous photo booth. With the increasing need for a unique theme-based photobooth in contemporary social events, an impactful backdrop is an unbeatable option.

Streamline the Technical Setup

The technical setup of your band is critical for the instruments. No matter how your band and specific musician choose to work, there may be iPad or sheets of music that need stands. This is an essential detail worth considering when setting up the stage. 



Still, you want a tidy and neat stage, so it should have a minimal setup. While this is on your top to-do list, even your designers may go out of their way to create customized stands for aesthetic purposes. Also, your sound company might help in planning and designing the technical setup of the stage.
