Let’s face it, planning a wedding brings with it a myriad of emotions. It can be overwhelming, stressful, but enjoyable yet rewarding at the same time. With the rise of the internet and an ever-growing market for all types of entertainment, many jazz bands have learnt to adapt to keep up with demand. Therefore, we know that one thing you’ll want to get right is the entertainment. Which is where our Wedding Reception Jazz Band, Silk Street, steps up. Let us take the stress out of hiring a jazz band for your wedding reception.
Wedding Reception Jazz Band. No Sound Check. No Fuss.
Musicians need to adjust sound levels properly when performing. You’ll want reassurance that the Wedding Reception Jazz Band you’ve booked can deliver. A sound check sets the audio to the right standards and proves essential for quality performance. For most bands, this takes about an hour, although the size of the band and the event affects that. Factor it into your schedule accordingly. Most organisers postpone dinners, speeches and other social activities while the sound check runs. The advantage of hiring Silk Street Jazz for your wedding reception is that none of this applies. We are completely acoustic and unplugged. No sound check, no set up, no fuss.
Wedding Reception Jazz Band: Song requests
Get the most out of your Wedding Reception Jazz Band by sending a list of your favourite songs from the band’s repertoire. The band will then try to include them in their set. Keep in mind that professional jazz bands adjust their set to suit the audience’s reactions. This is an important consideration when hiring a jazz band for your wedding reception. You can discuss repertoire on the phone with us beforehand or make several requests depending on which package you choose. Remember, if the songs do not feature in the band’s current repertoire, they may decline the request.
Wedding Reception Jazz Band: Contracts and insurance
Any professional Wedding Reception Jazz Band will offer you a contract. A contract sets out everything the band agrees to deliver. It also protects both parties if plans change. Make sure the contract covers timings, repertoire, fees, cancellation terms, and public liability insurance. Silk Street Jazz provide all of this as standard. We make the paperwork straightforward so you can focus on enjoying your wedding.
Wedding Reception Jazz Band: What to look for
When searching for the right wedding reception jazz band, look for a band with a strong online presence, good reviews, and video footage of live performances. Silk Street Jazz tick all of those boxes. We have performed at hundreds of weddings across the UK. We bring professionalism, warmth, and an effortless New Orleans cool to every event.
