Choosing Your Wedding Bands

Monday, November 14th, 2011

So, it is time to choose your wedding band. Perhaps you and your future spouse are trying to come to some kind of agreement. If you both have different tastes in music, this can be a difficult task.

Music styles aside, here are some other tips to think about when choosing your band. Always go for quality. Even if you think the pricing might be a little high, you will always get what you pay for, and bands that seem too cheap to be true probably are.

You will also want to choose wedding bands which offer you some choices or customizable packages. For instance, if you do have different tastes in music, perhaps a band can play some songs you like and some songs your future spouse will like?

Here at London Soul we offer a great variety in music styles from funk to rock and from retro soul to pop. We also offer three different price range packages on our soul bands and wedding bands to ensure that everyone can afford to have the very best.

Our highly professional bands have played for company functions, weddings, live concerts, and many other events. We have performed worldwide to live audiences of thousands as well as much smaller groups.

Live wedding bands: the guaranteed crowd pleaser

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Weddings are one of the few occasions when the whole family comes together. Most couples therefore feel it is important that their wedding be as memorable for their special guests as possible. One of the ways to truly say thank you to family and friends is to arrange some kind of post wedding entertainment. Top among the ideas is the hiring of a professional wedding band.

Professional wedding bands tend to go down extremely well among all guests, whether they are big music fans or not. The spectacle of a full troop of talented singers and versatile musicians is one of the most exciting around.

Furthermore, with experienced wedding bands, organisers rarely have to worry about whether the type of music chosen will find favour among guests; wedding bands know instinctively what makes a party go with a swing. Most wedding bands are essentially soul bands, picking up on the fact that popular soul music classics tend to be towards the top of most people

Booking The Perfect Wedding Bands

Friday, May 28th, 2010

When booking wedding bands for the evening event you want function bands that can get your guests up off their feet and dancing. Most live bands can do this for you. The big question is what type of music do you want them to play? You need to think about the genre of music you love, what type of music will appeal to guests of all ages and what will fit in with the theme of the wedding day.

The most popular choice is that of pop and rock stretching from the sixties through to the here and now. Whether live bands play The Beatles or other popular songs from pop history, they are guaranteed to be a hit as most people will be familiar with them and they are great dance floor fillers. Function bands will normally have as a minimum of rhythm guitar, lead guitar, bass guitar and of course drums.

The next top choice is funk and soul. You’ll find these live bands are bigger than the standard party bands and will have keyboards and possibly brass and sax. There will be a mix of female and male vocals and you will be guaranteed to get your wedding party off to a flying start.

However you may want to mix up the music genres so talk to your function bands at length to ensure they have that flexibility.

At London Soul we are a larger party band with a wide repertoire of music to offer and experienced at all types of events from wedding to corporate functions.

Go Professional When Choosing Wedding Bands

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

You may have attended several weddings where hand-in-hand with the cheesy DJ playing back to back 70’s and 80’s disco, there are live bands on the entertainment line up. However these may not be the slick, professional party bands that you would wish and hope for. Often these wedding bands are a dishevelled collection of amateur players who would look better suited playing at the local pub on a Saturday night.

That’s not to say all amateur wedding bands and semi-professional function bands are devoid of the professionalism that is required for such a special event but you could be taking a risk that a significant part of your evening party may become dominated by a group of players who have perhaps limited ability and a limited repertoire of music to play.

Choosing wedding bands that are fully experienced in this type of event will ensure that your guests are entertained for all the right reasons. Amateur live bands often have a limited scope of music they can play. At weddings you have a range of guests from several generations, from grandparents to newest arrivals and you need wedding bands that are capable of catering to these diverse needs. Your wedding band lead vocalist will also be crucial in gaining rapport with your guests and encouraging them onto the dance floor. They will also be pivotal in highlighting key times in the evening like the first dance for the bride and groom.

At London Soul we are a big band with plenty of experience in making wedding days special with a wide range of music.
