My MIL to be has emailed H2B some details for a band that she thought might be suitable for the wedding. My instant reaction was 'I don't want a band' but I'm struggling to find a 'rock' based disco for the evening which is what we'd really like to have.
My main objection to a band is...
They aren't going to be able to play for 4 hours non stop so there will be portions of time where they're taking a break with no music
I'm extremely picky about bands covering other people's music, especially if it's songs that I really like and I've heard very few cover bands that I actually like
People are less likely to dance to a band and not everyone shares our taste in music.
I did consider having the band for a couple fop hours and then getting a disco but that's just going to double the costs and we can't afford that.
All that aside I did like the band's set list for the most part and I like the idea in theory but I just think a disco would be better even igf they obnly play the 'classic rock tracks that you normally get at a wedding (living on a prayer, sweet child of mine etc) I have contacted a couple of mobile discos and they have both said they could tailor make the play list even though they aren't specifically a rock DJ
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Are you having a band? Disco? Both
Cheers
