Why Choose a Live Band for your cocktail ?
Imagine your wedding cocktail hour with a live band, especially gypsy jazz, that will bring a magical and joyful touch to your event. Talented musicians create a warm and friendly atmosphere, conducive to conversation and good spirits. With over ten years of experience and a hundred weddings under our belt, here are some tips to make this choice a real success.
The Perfect Location for the Band
Choosing the right spot for the band is essential. Near the buffet or bar, musicians can easily interact with your guests, creating a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. Avoid areas in direct sunlight to prevent excessive heat and musician fatigue. Opt for a shaded or covered spot to ensure an optimal performance.
The Duration of the Performance
Breaks are essential for musicians. Even if you want to get your money's worth, regular breaks allow musicians to rest and come back with even more energy. Take advantage of these moments to play different music or pre-recorded playlists, which bring variety to the atmosphere and maintain your guests' interest. Musicians usually know how to manage this aspect to ensure a smooth and enjoyable performance.
Music at the Table: Not Ideal
Music during meals can disrupt conversations and make the atmosphere less enjoyable. Save live music for moments of relaxation and celebration, when guests are standing, chatting, and moving freely.
Trust the Band for the Playlist
Choose your band carefully and trust them with the song selection. Professional musicians know their repertoire and know which songs will create the desired atmosphere. Their expertise and sense of timing will ensure a harmonious and memorable performance.
Prerequisites for a Successful Performance
Before finalizing the performance details, make sure the venue owner accepts live music. Check that a power outlet is available near the spot where the band will play to avoid any logistical issues. Also, provide water bottles for the musicians. Well-hydrated artists are happy and performing artists!
