Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, asking the right questions can help you find the perfect fit for your special day. Here are some essential questions to consider when interviewing wedding musicians, bands, or DJs:

​

  • Can you provide references or testimonials from past clients?

  • Have you performed at our venue before, and are you familiar with its acoustics?

​

2. Repertoire and Style: 

  • What genres and styles of music do you specialize in?

  • Can you accommodate specific song requests, especially for special moments like the first dance or ceremony processional?

  • Do you offer a diverse range of music options to cater to different tastes and age groups?

​

3. Performance Logistics: and Style: 

  • How many musicians are typically included in your ensemble, and what instruments do you play?
