Hi, Jim here from Mainstreet Soul. Today, I'd like to share a very important wedding planning tip for all the couples planning their weddings for 2024 and beyond.
One of the most important decisions that you have to make as a couple when planning your wedding is deciding who and what your wedding entertainment is going to be.
This decision is crucial because, simply put, your entertainment will dictate whether you and your guests have the time of your lives, or if everyone is going to start racing for the exits at your reception as soon as the formalities and dinner are over.
When choosing your entertainment, you need to decide if you're going to go with a DJ or a live professional wedding band.
Now, if music doesn't mean that much to you, or you're planning on smoking cigars on the patio all night, or maybe you're planning on being in the photo booth all night with your friends, or you're not that much into dancing, then the choice for your entertainment is obvious – you just need background music, so you should go with a DJ.
But if you want your wedding to be a unique and interactive experience where you can feel the magic of the music, and you want to have an evening where you can dance the night away and be entertained all at the same time – which is simply something that can't be replicated by a DJ playing a recording – then you should go with a professional live wedding band such as Mainstreet Soul.
At most weddings and events these days, there's a DJ, but when you choose a professional live wedding band as your entertainment, your guests are going to be in awe simply by walking into your reception.
They're going to see that the band is set up and that the band and the dance floor are both major focuses of the room. When your guests walk into the room, they're going to know that they're in for a treat, that your wedding is going to be fun and that it's going to be a true celebration.
Professional wedding bands not only play music well, but they also put on a show. This is what I call the entertainment factor.
For instance, one of the things that we love to do in Mainstreet Soul is to jump out on the dance floor while we're playing certain songs. When we get to interact with our couples and their guests on the dance floor, these moments truly help to create memories that will last a lifetime.
This is one of the many things that Mainstreet Soul does that really makes a wedding a true experience, something a DJ simply can't replicate.
When an 11-piece band with six or seven live musicians and singers performs and interacts with you and your guests on the dance floor, it's incomparable.
So, if music is a big deal to you and you really want to have that interactive entertainment experience on your wedding day, and a wedding where people will be talking about it for weeks, months, and yes, years to come, then a professional live wedding band such as Mainstreet Soul is the right choice for you.
