Wedding Bands (music), where do i even start

This is my first time here, so I hope i do this right.
I need to start looking for a band, any suggestions? or recommendations?
Any help would be great. I don't even know where to start.

Re: Wedding Bands, where do i even start

This is probably a silly question but do you mean band (as in music) or band as in to wear on your finger?

Hey Karen...you'll have to specify what kind of band...jewelry or music.

And...I'm getting married at the Milleridge Cottage too!!! My date is 12/7/03!!!

Congrats and Welcome to the boards!

Try looking at Franklin Wayne Music... they have a lot of different bands to choose from, all very talented.

Good luck!!

Re: Wedding Bands, where do i even start

No problem just didn't want to write a long post and have you looking for something else.

I would start by contacting a number of different bands or companies and see when they are showcasing and see if you can get videos or cds to start - then I would go and see any of the bands you are interested in - I think seeing the bands live is the best way to do it - b/c then you can compare them in person -

Here are some popular bands:
I'm using Times Square Orchestra (link to website)
Also check out:
Full House
the Faze 4 Bands
Central Park (steven scott band)
Body Heat
projekt
Franlin Wyne bands
Skyline orchestras bands

Re: Wedding Bands, where do i even start

If you love R&B, Funk, Soul, Jazz, Motown, you may want to call our band, Midnight Magic Orchestra. They are totally awesome and they have a video to view. Also, workable price=wise. They use separate sound technicians and all their musicians are lead vocalists.

Re: Wedding Bands, where do i even start

Robluvsme has a good list...I would do a search (upto) on each of these bands and look for actual reviews from weddings

I am using the Projekt-they are incredible! I also liked Paris and Body Heat. You should call and find out when they are showcasing and check them out. Paris and the Projekt are part of Soundcheck Entertainment and I think Body Heat are independent. Good luck, let me know if you need any #'s!
