Music is one of the most important decisions you will make at the wedding party. Music can make or break a wedding reception. Much thought should be given to choosing your wedding ring. It is not something to rush. Your wedding will be your happiest day. You want your family and friends to enjoy the day too, so you need to be careful to make sure the band you select is the right one for the wedding you’re planning. Here are my tips for choosing the perfect band for your wedding:

  1. Cultural or religious requirements: Do you or your partner have cultural or religious needs regarding the party or wedding ceremony? Will you have a ceremony that reflects your cultural background? The band must play music that matches this. A traditional Hindu wedding must have Hindi music.

  2. Theme- Think about the style of wedding you want. Do you have a theme? If there is a medieval or 1960s theme, the music should match. If you want a formal wedding, a rock cover band won’t fit the bill. Do you want people to dance? If you envisioned a square dance, be sure to find a band that knows what to call one.

  3. Venue – Some venues may not be equipped with adequate sound system or space to accommodate all bands. When deciding on a location, you need to assess what options are available. Some locations may also be subject to licensing and noise restrictions. It wouldn’t make sense to hire a live band to play in a place that can’t have live music at night.

  4. Taste – The music you choose should reflect your personal taste and set the mood. It should say who you are as a couple. It is very important to select music that shows who you are as a couple, your feelings. You should go through both you and your partner’s music collections and find music that you both enjoy (and the other person will enjoy too). If a band that can reflect these tastes.

  5. First Dance – Make sure you pick a good song for the first dance. For many couples it is the highlight of the wedding party. Don’t let the band choose this song for you. It must be a song with a special meaning for you as a couple. When looking for a band, ask them if they can play the song you’ve selected for your first dance and a selection of their favorite songs as a couple. The right band for you will either know your favorite songs or be willing to learn some of them.

The music will set the whole theme of the wedding party. It’s worth taking the time to find a professional wedding ring that knows how to set the mood and provide the atmosphere you want. Consider the tips above before selecting a wedding ring.
