*Please note that most of our top variety bands
provide an iPod for band breaks and
cocktail music. This music should be selected by
you and can be a way to have some songs played that
you want that the band doesn't perform. Look at it
like you're getting a band AND a DJ in one. Most
receptions will need about 2 hours of
cocktail/dinner music, and about 45 minutes of band
break music. If you can't
decide what to use for cocktail/dinner music we
usually recommend either smooth Jazz or Frank
Sinatra, etc. and most of our bands have this music
on CD/iPod already.
10:15pm
- Band Continues until LAST CALL / CLOSE
Say
Goodnight and hear your friends and family tell you
that they just attended the BEST wedding reception
in history! |
