Wedding Receptions
The Nashville Blue Tones
A wedding reception is the celebration of the beginning of two lives together. Beautiful vows have been witnessed by family and friends and now it is time to let loose and have some fun.
Good taste is reflected in the entertainment chosen for your reception, so choose carefully. Consider the following guidelines when hiring wedding reception entertainment.
- Choose a reception band able to perform all styles of listening and dance party music because guests at a reception may have a variety of musical tastes, a mix of ages, and have traveled from all parts of the globe.
- It is important to choose a band able and willing to MC your special event.
- Make certain the musicians you hire are able to learn a new song for your first dance.
- Always sign a contract with your deposit.
- Get referrals from photographers, wedding coordinators, and caterers.
- Sense an entertainers willingness to work with you and other industry professionals regarding your personal tastes.
- Make certain they are willing to perform songs and styles you prefer, after all it is your special day.
Hire a variety band like the The Nashville Blue Tones, the industry’s best wedding reception band. For theme oriented wedding receptions (Celtic, Island, Bluegrass, Fairy Tale, Tuscan, Mexican, Dixieland, Country, Mardi Gras, etc.) consider using musicians during the cocktail or dinner hour to reflect that theme. After the cocktail hour, hire a variety band to get the party started. Some ensembles like the Nashville Blue Tones are versatile enough to do both.
Booking your all time favorite concert, bar band, or family friend might seem like a good idea at the time; however, it is likely that they will not have the versatility and skill of a professional variety band. Music City, USA is home to some of the most talented singers and musicians in the world. The same musicians that toured and recorded with major artists are now full time members of great party bands such as the The Nashville Blue Tones.
