By Anne Dimmick

If it is a fairy tale wedding you want in your family then you must have been spending hours to plan it perfectly. Sumptuous food, dazzling decors, great venue - you have it all besides a list of high profile guests. But to add the glamour factor and the extra something which will really make your guests enjoy and your family happy, have live wedding bands to play at the party. This extra bit will differentiate the wedding from any other and make it extraordinary.

The live wedding bands can do wonders to your wedding party, bring in the mood amongst the guests and make them emotional and nostalgic with their music. The advantage of live wedding band is that one can request the band to play his or her requests to create a great deal of interest amongst the guests.

Live wedding bands are professional outfits. They know how to act according to the situation and that builds up the tempo of the party. They usually go for light music when the guests are in mood of conversations. But the moment, the bride walks down the aisle, it is backed with some romantic favorite of hers and at the particular point when she and the groom kiss and are announced to be married, there might be another romantic one. These small bits of performances touch the heart of everybody present.

With live wedding bands, themed wedding parties can be made a great success. Imagine a beach wedding party where a live wedding band is playing Jamaican Reggae. The guests with glasses of Jamaican Rum on their hands are slowly dancing on the beach enjoying the gentle sea breeze. Sounds exciting, doesn't it? And this can be done without too many hassles.

You can get phone numbers of the bands in Yellow Pages or you can search the internet to find one. And if you want to spend extra money, call up some good event management agency and hand them over the job.

If you go by the internet search results, try to go for the bands which have websites of their of their own from where you can download clips of the band's live performances and judge by yourself. Otherwise you may end up with an amateur punk rock college band, which might just not suite this job.

When the live wedding bands are chosen and finalized, sit with them and brief them beforehand about your ideas and themes. This will make the whole event much easier and smooth for the band Also check the bands requirements.
