What you should look for when choosing a live band for your wedding reception.

Buying and booking with a wedding supplier.

How should you choose a wedding supplier or wedding band?

  • Speak to friends and family ask for recommendations.
  • Check reviews of your wedding supplier both on social media and on Google Reviews.
  • Make sure your wedding supplier updates their content regularly with QUALITY NEW content.  So not just a repost of something they posted months/years ago. This way you will see they are an active company constantly out working at current weddings.
  • Have you seen a wedding band at a previous friend or relatives wedding reception? Were you suitably impressed by their high energy live performances? If so why not book them for your wedding party too.  Most of our wedding work comes from previous clients guests. We feel this speaks a lot about the type of professional performances we put on.

How it all happened

We had no idea that Ms Langhorne was exhibiting at the same wedding fair as Punch The Air. As she was across the other side of the field in a tipi tent. Towards the end of the event she wondered over to our little staged area. There, she casually watched us for a few songs singing a dancing along to our live indie repertoire. We didn’t actually know who she was at all. But Andy thought it would be fun to ask her up on stage with us anyway even though he didn’t know if she could sing in tune or not. Eventually we managed to coerce her onto the stage not knowing anything about her musical talents. Watch Pippa Langhorne on stage with us.

An important note about The Walled Garden at Beeston Fields wedding venue:

The Walled Garden wedding venue have a very strict decibel limiter there. Even with an electronic drum kit it is impossible to perform at a volume that is akin to the kind of impact you’d expect at a wedding. We therefore recommend our acoustic wedding band package for this venue.

Wedding Entertainment

For some bizarre reason wedding entertainment seems to be one of the last things brides & grooms tend to think about. Sure, they have a lot to think about understandably. They book the venue, the ceremony and the photographer then what do most people do? They start to think about the fun, personalised small things (that if you think about it, don’t really matter in the grand scheme of things). Dress hangers with names on, flip-flops for the dance-floor, table decorations etc. But what they really should be doing in our options is looking at booking live wedding entertainment as the third, or even fourth big thing to sort out. Contact Andy Starkey to hire Punch The Air wedding entertainment. 

What guests remember most about a wedding is as follows:

  • What you looked like.
  • Then what the venue was like.
  • What the food was like.
  • And what the wedding entertainment was like.

and not even in that order (apart from the first point) Believe us, we know this from previous experience speaking to clients at many hundreds of weddings.

Wedding Entertainment
Wedding Entertainment

Was everyone up dancing all night long really letting their hair down? Was everyone singing and shouting along to the bands amazing repertoire? Were the band a high energy wedding band able to engage with the audience and have them eating out of the palms of their hands?

The problem is that although your date is one specific day to you, it’s a date that many other brides and grooms will also want to book your wedding entertainment band for. Your wedding band can only perform at one wedding each day, so they may already be booked out at another wedding clients reception party….Argh nightmare scenario!!!!

Advice on hiring a wedding band

So our advice (Coming from having been an established wedding band since 2013). Is to start to look to book wedding entertainment as soon as you can. If you really-REALLY like a wedding reception band then check if they are available on your date before you even book your ceremony and venue.
