By Eva Rhodes


Have you planned a gala arrangement for your birthday party or anniversary? Is that a grand wedding party you are planning for? There are live bands to hire that can make the arrangements complete and the party a major success. With bands to hire, you can also plan for themed parties and have a different feeling altogether.

The types of bands to hire range from music genre bands to function or wedding bands to decade bands. Each of these live bands has their own style of music and you have to choose them in accordance to the theme of your party and your choice of music. With live music on, the party will by itself turn on the heat among the guests.

If you can afford to live bands to hire, they are a better choice than DJs any day. The music of a live band is more appreciated by people in the parties than the pre recorded played by the DJs. Live bands also have their advantages like for instance, in weddings, the band can play specific romantic numbers when the bride walks down the aisle or kisses the groom.

It is a fantastic idea to get live bands to hire for beach parties or reunions if you want to have lots of fun. When you have a beach party going on, a live band will add to the enjoyment and also add a touch of the Jamaican effect. On the other hand, a live band playing psychedelic rock in the Pink Floyd style at a reunion party will take the cake.

You should very carefully handle the process of hiring these live bands. The internet and the yellow pages may be good sources, but the most reliable information can be attained from friends and relatives who have heard these live bands. You should only hire the bands after interviewing them and seeing if they are capable of playing the exact type of music that you want.

Amongst the choices of the bands to hire from you have to pinpoint on the right one. For parties such as weddings and anniversaries hiring a function band is a better choice. On the other hand, if there is a reunion party or a private gathering of friends, a decade band or a tribute band can do wonders to the atmosphere. While a decade band can make you take a trip to the sixties or the seventies a tribute band can make your night electrifying with tributes to your favourite icon.

It is important to finalize certain details with your band before the performance. Talk to the band members and brief them your requirements. In case it is a theme party, tell that to the band so that they play in accordance to the theme. Discuss with the band members about specific music at specific situations if needed, like a particular song at the time of raising a toast, etc.

There is one final point to be noted after you finally decide on which band to hire. It is the logistics. Visit the venue with the necessity list of the band and check if everything is available. Check out for the parking space allotted for the band, the dance floor, the stage facility etc. and do check if the venue has the necessary licenses for live music.
