Ways of making a wedding day special for your guests

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

A wedding is a special event in that family and friends, who may not have seen each other for years, are for once all gathered in one place. It is also an opportunity for guests to put on their glad rags and feel special for one day.

Most couples who plan to marry acknowledge that their wedding is an opportunity for family and friends to come together and feel special; and the vast majority actively encourage this as a way of thanking those who have played such an important part in their lives.

One of the most effective ways of making guests feel special is to throw an evening party after the main wedding reception. To make a real impact however most couples find that this party should consist of more than just a few drinks and some pre-recorded music playing in the background. Choice of venue, and therefore comfort and atmosphere, is a crucial consideration, as is the choice of caterer.

One other sure-fire way found of making the vast majority of guests happy however is to hire live wedding bands. Professional wedding bands that are able to perform a wide range of modern pop music and timeless classics will often encourage a real feel good factor among the wedding guests, leading to a happy and fully-occupied dance floor for the duration of the evening.

Soul bands make particularly popular wedding bands. At London Soul we can explain how our 12 piece line up will provide your wedding guests with the best night they have experienced in ages.

Make a crowd-pleasing impact

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

A wedding should be an occasion for family and friends to get together. It is often ironic therefore, and disappointing for the bride and groom, when the wedding day peters out with different groups of guests and certain individuals disappearing from the main function room, and leaving what appears to be a near-deserted seating and dance floor area.

One method of keeping the momentum going is to add an element of real, live entertainment at the evening function. This can be best served by hiring a professional wedding band.

Quality wedding bands not only provide a high calibre of musical entertainment more than equivalent in depth and sophistication to anything pre-recorded on to CD; they also add an intimacy to the occasion that encourages all but the most obstinate guest to come on to the dance floor, even if only to try and get a closer look.

What is more, for those who wish their wedding day to be remembered by their guests, and who do not like to think of their hard work in planning and the large amounts of money they have spent as having little impact, live music from live bands has been found to be one of the most frequently recalled memories among wedding guests (much more so than, say, the wedding cake).

At London Soul, our brilliant 12 piece professional band of talented singers and musicians will be guaranteed to remain a part of your guests happy memories of your special day for a long time to come.

The wedding’s evening function is when the happy couple and their guests can celebrate and relax, as well as being an opportunity to welcome friends and acquaintances, for whom there may simply not have been enough space at the earlier wedding breakfast. Quality live music is guaranteed to make this evening function a fitting, and enjoyable, climax to the big day.

The benefits of live music over a disco, or other ways of amplifying pre-recorded tracks, are immeasurable. Not only will live bands provide a stunning visual focus for guests enjoyment, but there is no better way of encouraging people on to the dance floor than the presence of quality singers and real instrumentation on a main stage.

Live bands that are best received at weddings manage to home in on truly well known and exciting sounds. Classic pop, rock and soul, as well as credible and catchy contemporary songs, always strike a chord with the widest cross section of ages and musical tastes. The best wedding bands will also make guests feel a part of the show, through the use of friendly interaction.

The recommended method of choosing a band for a wedding is to look up testimonials and endorsements. It will quickly be seen that there is nothing better than a live band to help turn a wedding night into an event that will live long in 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.
