15 Common Questions to Ask Your Wedding Band

There are of course other questions that you could ask your wedding band. However, these are some of the most important questions that you should ask your wedding band and you can do so by either having this blog up when you're in a meeting with your wedding band to run through the questions or you can simply add these to your designated wedding planner so you remember to run through them.

3. What are your requirements at the venue?

4. Can you get the party moving and create a great atmosphere?

5. Can you be fun and current, but still cater for our families and not alienate anyone?

6. Can you play our first dance song live?

7. How long will the band play for?

8. Can you invite the bridal party on the floor after 30 seconds of our first dance because we don't want too much attention?

10. At the end of the night, what are the chances of you playing one more song?

11. Do you take requests on the night?
