We're still having the band V DJ debate but I think both of us much prefer the idea of a band; just a little nervous as our venue is quite a small barn with no where for guests to escape if the weather is band so I'm worried about choosing a band that will appeal to as many of our guests as possible.
We are really keen on a band that we saw a lot when we did our ski season in the Alps, they do lots of rock and pop covers and always had people up and dancing. BUT slightly nervous that they might be a little too 'rock' for a wedding - that said, they do seem to do plenty of weddings, so I guess they are used to varying their set list?
Below is the list of music they play; obviously going to speak with the management company (don't seem to be able to book them direct) to check that we can rule out certain songs e.g. not sure about Rage Against the Machine for a wedding, he he! A lot of our friends who are coming are like minded (surfers, windsurfers, snowboarders and generally party people!) so we're after something a little different from your typical 'party / wedding' band; plus I think grandparents will probably be done by about 9pm so will miss most of the band.
I think I'm probably nervous because I've seen them playing gigs in packed bars in ski resorts; whereas they would be quite different at a wedding. Also they do blow our budget somewhat so don't want to overspend and then get it wrong.
If you've got this far through my wittering on post, I'd love your thoughts on their set list below - thank you!xx
