3 Reasons Why a Live Band is a Must-Have For Your Wedding
Engagement
Capturing people’s attention and keeping them engaged can be a tough feat. It’s a job that is not for everyone. It requires charisma and finesse that is honed over time. It gets better with experience. Having a seasoned live music band for weddings with killer emcee skills, you are most certainly off to a great start in commanding the room. When the band gets the energy where it needs to be and starts pushing out those good tunes, your guests will be hooked. When you have a good song list that caters to all the guests in the room and a band that is good at reading the crowd, it’s something that a DJ just can’t recreate.Interaction
Once you’ve captured the attention of the wedding guests and engaged them with smart musical choices, crowd interaction is key in keeping the dance floor full. A good live band is essential for this purpose. If they can make the guests feel like they are part of the entertainment, you are setting the proverbial stage for a very memorable party that your guests will be talking about for a while. Find a band that isn’t afraid to boogie on the dance floor with a gaggle of your aunts! A band that will pull some of the youngest guests up on stage to dance with them. This type of audience interaction will break down barriers!Momentum
Keeping up the momentum is a hugely important and often underrated element in live entertainment. Energy levels rise and fall, wax and wane —depending on what’s happening at the reception. For example, the couple’s first dance or the father/daughter dance will likely bring the energy down. The vibe will be calm and probably emotional while everyone watches the sweet moments unfold. However, after that dance is over, someone or something has to bring the energy back up. This is where an exceptional wedding band will be your saving grace to get things revved up again. Recapturing the attention, reengaging the audience, and initiating that crowd interaction again will get your guests back to party mode in no time.IDT Band
If you want to liven up your wedding reception and create an environment of positive energy and fun, look no further than the IDT band. With over a decade of professional performing experience, this dynamic band will woo you and your guests with their unbelievable talent and over-the-top crowd interaction. There will not be a dull moment at your affair when you have the IDT band entertaining your guests with their high-energy antics.

Are you considering rescheduling your event?
This message is for all of our clients who have booked one of our bands for a future event. I know the last few months have been rough on us all, but we are excited to get back to what we love, which is entertaining you and your guests and helping create amazing parties! I’m reaching out to you today to be proactive in our communication, and to ensure there are no surprises from us if you are considering any changes to your upcoming event.
Just to save you a long read, if you are not anticipating any further changes to your event, you can totally skip this whole message.
As Texas has begun it’s “re-opening” process, events are now allowed with certain restrictions, and the decision to postpone has become elective, you may find that vendors have differing policies on rescheduling. This is partially due to vendors having varied overhead and pre-event costs, and a varying number of contractors scheduled for your event. Being limited to a single event versus multiple events on any given date is also a large consideration (and unfortunately our bands can only be in one place at a time). Please understand that we absolutely want to extend the maximum amount of flexibility we can as everyone begins their re-adjustment process. But please, also understand that we are a small business with dozens of contractors who rely on us, and after three months of suspended business, that flexibility must be balanced with preservation.
Moving Forward
Our standard rescheduling policy, which is stated in our contract, offers the date to be rescheduled within 30 days of the original date, if the new date is mutually available, with a rescheduling fee of 20%. We are offering to relax this policy through June 30th, with some limitations.
You may reschedule to any available 2020 date, or any non-Saturday 2021 date with no additional fee.
If you are considering rescheduling your 2020 date, this is the recommended route. This includes every day of the week. Right now, it is perfectly acceptable to have a non-Saturday wedding, and this compromise is the way to go in order to avoid a rescheduling fee.
If you decide to reschedule to an available 2021 Saturday, there will be a 35% fee.
I know no one likes a rescheduling fee, but please understand: we are not trying to get an “extra” 35% out of anyone. We are only trying to REDUCE losses by 35%. As mentioned, our bands can only be in one place at a time. If they’re performing at a rescheduled event on a 2021 Saturday, that means we must turn down numerous other events for that date. Also consider that our 2021 wedding season has already been swamped with reschedules from the lockdown period. We have simply exhausted our option to continue chipping away at 2021. We are suggesting that you consider a 2020 date, or a non-Saturday 2021 date first. But if it is important to you to have a Saturday in 2021, this is the best we can do without jeopardizing our business and the people who work for it.
If you decide to cancel the band’s performance, we will waive the balance payment. The deposit is non-refundable. You must notify us via email by next Friday (June 5th).
Even though events are no longer prohibited from taking place, I’m aware that some of you are still encountering unfortunate circumstances. Limited guest counts, venues imposing their own restrictions, international travel restrictions, and some venues who are either not allowing events, or have completely shut down. Some of you also might choose to reschedule to a date that the band does not have available. If you are encountering any of these obstacles, we are so sorry that this has become a part of your planning process. If this is your situation and you believe it makes sense to cancel the band’s performance, we are offering to waive the balance payment. Our deposit policy has not changed, and those payments are still non-refundable. We highly suggest exhausting all rescheduling options before going this route. We are only offering this option until June 5th.
If a new government mandate is introduced that completely prohibits your event from taking place, you may reschedule to any date with no additional fee.
If you are concerned that we will re-enter a period of regulations that mandate your event not take place, please be assured you will receive the option to move the band’s performance to any available date with no fee, or cancel with a waived balance.
Again, if you’re considering making any changes, we’re extending these reschedule options through the end of June, and addressing any potential cancellations through the end of next week. If you’d like to schedule a call with either Ashley or myself, please email either of us at [email protected] or [email protected].
We’re so appreciative that you’ve chosen us for your event’s entertainment, and we thank you for your understanding. We look forward to seeing you on the dance floor!
Sincerely,
Jared & Ashley

Choosing the Best Wedding Band
Don’t Procrastinate
You probably have a laundry list of things to do when preparing for holy matrimony. However, you mustn’t place the hiring of a wedding band on the proverbial back burner. Waiting until the last minute to check this line item off of your “to-do” list could leave you scrambling for a B-list DJ. Or worse, it can leave you empty-handed. If the band is good, they will likely be booked well in advance. In Texas, if your big day is during “wedding season” —which is typically fall and springtime— then it’s even more imperative that you get a jump on hiring your dream wedding band.Have a Plan
When making your entertainment decisions, it’s important to factor in a couple of specific considerations. You can start by asking yourself what kind of ambiance you want? Are you going classic and elegant with a string quartet? Or are you looking for a high-energy option to get your guests on the dance floor and keep them there all night? Once you decide on the vibe, next you should consider the party-goers. Are there going to be lots of kids in attendance or is your reception adult-only? Do you want a band that is playing a certain era of music or do you want some variety to cater to a varying demographic?Get a Sample
It’s your wedding! You have been combing over every detail of what you want this day to look like and how you want it to feel. The musical entertainment for the bride and groom and their bustle of guests is no exception. The best way to know if the wedding band will jive with you and your guest list is to get a sample of their work. Any reputable band will have this available. Whether it’s a standard CD they put in your hand, a video clip from the archive of weddings they’ve done in the past, or a music file they can send by email, you’ll know when you hear/see it. If their sound fits with your vision, there’s another check off the “to-do” list. Let us help you get started by checking out One Five Six Four Entertainment!Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)

Good Live Music Can Make Your Event a Hit
Is Live Music Right for Your Event?
Live music is a form of entertainment that piques almost every music lover’s interest. Therefore, you can never go wrong with opting for live music for any type of event. From a birthday to a farewell, Valentine’s Day celebration to a charity ball, a live music band can light up the dance floor in a matter of seconds.A Live Band Offers Flexibility
The best part about hiring a live band is that even if your audience is not happy with their choice of music, the band can read the room and change the genre. Some bands go the extra mile and allow the audience to request songs; this can turn your event into a small private concert. You can get the crowd to participate on a more personal level. A live band will energize the atmosphere and give your attendees memories they are going to cherish for a long time. If your attendees, such as employees, have had a busy year, a live band can be a great escape for them to let their hair down and enjoy the night away.A Live Band Offers More Interaction
While you would love to play a lot of music at the event to entertain all, music without interaction can get boring as the night progresses. Therefore, hire a live band for an event that is willing to interact with the audience. This may come as a surprise, but lack of interaction will drive the attendees away sooner than you, but live music can really turn an event into an all-nighter.The Sound Quality of Live Music
Live music has better sound quality compared to what a DJ would play. This is going to make or break your event. Therefore, you must decide by putting your best foot forward and, as far as the music goes, hire a band that can play various genres of music.Hire a Live Band for Your Event in Texas
If you are considering hiring music for your event, then you can never go wrong with live music. We at One Five Six Four Entertainment can help you hire some of the best live bands for any type of event on any day of the week. The benefits of live music are not only the variety of music, but it can actually make your event the talk of the town. Let us know what you have in mind, and we will help connect you with the best live music performers in Austin, Houston, and Dallas Fort Worth area in Texas.

Is a Live Band for a Fundraiser a Good Idea?
Do You Need Music for a Fundraiser?
Well, the answer is a definite yes. Music helps people from all walks of life come together. The music can inspire people to connect and get inspiration to help those in need. You can play the music that goes hand-in-hand with your fundraising cause. You can say that music is a universal language that can portray the emotions behind the cause or charity you are supporting. When a live band or singer performs, they can take as long as they want to sing some of the greatest hits of all time. A live concert has better reception amongst the masses than raving to DJ’s personal music choices from a preset genre.Other Reasons to Book Live Band for a Fundraiser
Apart from the above-mentioned more obvious reasons, here are some other benefits of hiring a live band for a fundraiser.A Perfect Ice Breaker
Nothing compares to a live band performing classics or a band member playing a solo violin piece. What would you prefer, a DJ playing a Michael Bolton’s tune or a real artist giving an outstanding saxophone performance live? I am sure the thought of the latter really gets that adrenaline going. Plus, why would anyone attend an event just to listen to recorded songs when they can do so straight from their smartphones. However, for many, a concert is something they have never attended before, and what better way to go to one that supports a noble cause of helping those in need. Hiring a live band shows people that you are really serious about the cause you support, and that is why you have put so much effort into finding a band and organizing a grand event. Furthermore, a band of experienced performers will know how to read the audience and tailor the performance based on the audience’s mood. A mix of music can also bridge the gap between audiences of all ages. This will give you confidence that the event is going great, and it also opens doors for you for future events.An Experience Your Audience Will Remember
Hire a live band, and you will be ensuring that the audience experiences a fundraiser they will remember for a very long time. A well-thought-out choice of a band will be an absolute entertainer for donators of all ages and backgrounds. A live band can help highlight the key message of the charitable cause you are supporting. They can also work with you to create a concert theme and style that aligns with the fundraiser. However, you need an agency or company specializing in providing the best live bands in your city. At One Five Six Four Entertainment, we have tons of top-notch live bands on board to turn your fundraiser into a night to remember. To conclude this post, we would like to mention an article by John Hopkins Medicine Research. The research shows that listening to music helps reduce blood pressure, anxiety as well as pain. It also improves mood, sleep quality, and mental alertness. So, if you wish to ensure a successful charity event, a live band for a fundraiser is a hit idea. Reference URLs https://bit.ly/3a0q9JAIs a Live Band for a Wedding a Good Idea?
Atmosphere Matters
Hiring a DJ is a standard option most couples choose to play their favorite tunes throughout the night. However, it does not come close to having a live band. The singers perform not just a preset list you handed over but take live requests from you and the guests. The presence and energy of a live band performing at your wedding will electrify the atmosphere, turning your after party into a private wedding concert. All you need is a live band for a wedding that specializes in all genres of music.Flexibility to Choose
The chances of you finding a live band for a wedding in Texas are higher than finding a DJ specializing in your preferred music genre. A live band gives you the flexibility to cover all major genres, including Pop, Rock, Jazz, Country, etc. You can even hire a tribute band for your favorite artist or band. Imagine a Queen Tribute band performing live – surely that is a far better option than simply a DJ hooking an iPod to play Queen Songs.People Pleaser
If you want to give your guests a night to remember, then nothing compares to decent live music. A professional live band for a wedding knows how to get your guests out of their seats and hit the dance floor. They can read the audience and change the mood to ensure everyone is having a good time. From a barely active grandmother to that hyperactive sibling, or an overly emotional aunt, live music can get everyone together.Romance in the Air
Emotions are already running high at weddings. Therefore, a live band can help you make those special dedications to your partner, best friend, or anyone close to either of you. If you or a guest is confident enough with their vocals, you can take the stage and sing your heart out. Remember, the wedding will be the first day of the rest of your lives together, so why not start it with a bang. Make it an event you are going to remember forever after. DJ music plays at a set pace of the tune. However, if you are a nervous dancer, the live band can tone your favorite song down to match your rhythm. Furthermore, the band will know how to get everyone involved the moment your first dance ends.A Live Band Works with You
A professional live wedding band will offer to work closely with you before the big day. They will sit down with you learn about your taste in music. If by any chance you are planning a themed wedding, you and the live band for a wedding can come up with a fantastic custom-made song list for the most important day of your lives.Music That Represents You
How about walking down the aisle with live musicians playing your favorite song? Imagine live violinists or brass bands performing your favorite classic song. You can even hire a live band for a wedding in Texas to perform at your wedding breakfast and the cocktail or champagne reception.Hire a Live Band for a Wedding in Texas
Surely, you can imagine all the above-mentioned mesmerizing scenes a live band can create at your wedding in Texas. We at One Five Six Four Entertainment hire some of the best live bands in Austin, Houston, and Dallas areas in Texas to make your wedding a day to remember. Have a specific taste in music? Let us know, and we will make it happen.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Live Band
Flexibility the Live Band Offers
You must first find out what the band has to offer. For example, are they a tribute band that can only perform songs of a specific artist, band, or genre? Ask them if they only perform a preset list of songs or they will be open to taking requests from the guests. If you are planning a wedding or a fundraiser, a live band with a dynamic approach to engage with an audience and take song requests can go a long way.The Cooperation the Band Offers
Ask the live band if they will be willing to learn songs for your audience or yourself. If yes, then how many can you request. Even a live band that performs a set-list of songs may be willing to learn and perform some special numbers for instances like your wedding reception, first dance, etc. However, get this information in advance because it may not be possible for most bands to learn new songs at the last minute. They may need to practice, especially if the songs do not belong to their specialized genre.Does the Band Have Permanent Members?
The most reputable bands will most certainly have permanent group members specializing in their own instruments. However, some bands do tend to bring in different group members at every event. So, when you audition them (if you like what you hear), ask them if they will bring in the same members who just performed or show up with band members depending on whoever is available. If they say so, ask them to audition with the alternative singer or performers. This will help ensure that you are going to get the same quality. You do not want an alternate who is not as good as what you heard from the singer or instrument playing at the audition. Yes, it may be a hassle, but you can save yourself from a lot of disappointment on the day of the event. At least you will know precisely what you are paying for.Asking the Band What Does the Price Include
Remember, choosing a live band is like buying any other service. Therefore, you must ask the band what the price includes and get this in writing. This will help you protect yourself from any last-minute price increase or hidden charges shocks. Some bands may quote you a performance price but charge you extra for requests.Finding the Overtime Charges
At the end of an event (dare we say), there may be a request or two for a couple of more songs. And to ensure that you end the night on a high note, you may have to succumb to the audience’s chants or, should we say, “peer pressure.” Therefore, it would be a great idea to ask the live band how much they are going to charge you for overtime, i.e., performing over the agreed time. Most bands may charge you overtime at an hourly rate.Where to Get Live Band in Texas
If you are looking to hire a live band in Houston, Austin, or Dallas Fort Worth area in Texas, we at One Five Six Four Entertainment can assist. We have some of the best-rated live bands onboard that can perform different genres of music at any event.

Tips for Choosing a Live Band for Your Wedding
Things to Consider When Hiring a Live Band for Your Wedding
Here are some tips to help you choose a live band that will be perfect for your big day.The Duration of Performance
While other parties only require live bands to perform at nights, a wedding day event may need music from your wedding day breakfast to cocktail reception all the way to the after-party. Therefore, always confirm with the live band if they will be willing to offer an all-day service. In case you are only looking to hire a live band for a wedding reception, then ask the band the duration of their performance for the price you are paying. After all, you do not want the band to pack and leave while the guests are still in the mood to dance the night away.Confirm the Genres
Some live bands are tribute bands specializing in performing songs from a classic band or artist. On the other hand, some bands only play songs and music from a specific genre. Therefore, you must consider your preferred genres and hire a band accordingly. However, the best recommendation is to hire a band that can play any genre and even offers to take requests from you, your partner, and the guests. A good band may also offer to learn some of your favorite songs to play at special moments, such as you and your partner walking down the aisle, your first dance, etc.Stationary or Roaming Live Band
Do you want a stationary band that is good at performing the music you requested? Probably not – that is why always go for a roaming live band that can go around the floor, engage with your guests and make the entire event a full-on entertainment. For instance, you can hire a brass band as they tend to go around and are louder and more impactful.The Appearance
Think about the appearance, i.e., if you would like the band to really stand out and entertain the guests or just need the performers to blend into the background.How Soon Should You Book the Band?
To hire the right live band for your wedding requires you to act quickly. This is because live bands take pre-bookings, especially during the busy wedding seasons. You do not want to end up with the leftover choices. The sooner you start looking for a band, the more chances you will find a band that ticks all the boxes for you and your partner.The Budget
A live band will typically offer a minimum of 2 hours of performance. However, if you are looking to book them for 3 to 4 hours or more, always ask the band how much they will charge you. Furthermore, it is most likely that the party may go on for longer and you or the guests would like the band to perform a few more songs by the end of the night. Therefore, ask the band what they will charge for overtime.Hire the Best Live Band for Your Wedding in Texas
We at One Five Six Four Entertainment can help you choose a live band for your wedding. Let us know what you have in mind, and we will get you the band from your preferred genre within your budget. Reference URLs https://bit.ly/2YoC8yc https://bit.ly/3AdnqH6 https://bit.ly/3uLFY07Tipsy

What is the difference between Midtown 10 and Empire 6?
A very common question is “What is the difference between Midtown 10 and Empire 6?” The short answer is “there isn’t one”.
Midtown 10 is the original band that started it all in 2009. Thankfully, due to the success and demand for the band, we were able to duplicate the formula that was proven to work, and Empire 6 was created in 2012. While some entertainment companies produce several (or infinite) versions of the same band, we elected to give Empire 6 its own identity. They immediately matched pace with Midtown 10, and both bands have now performed hundreds of events followed by rave reviews. While they each have their own performer line-up, both bands are produced and styled identically, sharing the same song list, choreography, mashups, and even the same amazing sound production and programmed lighting. They are always priced identically and offer the same packages.
Which one should you book? Well, which one is available on your date? Book that one. Did you see one at an event and fell in love? That’s the band for you. We don’t have a favorite, but maybe you do!

Who is an Entertainment Coordinator?
Who is an Entertainment Coordinator?
An entertainment coordinator is a professional event planner specializing in small to large private and corporate setups. These events include corporate business parties to festivals and concerts to weddings. A decent entertainment coordinator will do everything to participate in your event and help plan and execute a flawless event. The best part is that an entertainment coordinator can work on flexible hours depending on your event’s needs. They will usually visit you after hiring them for the event. Most entertainment planners offer independent services; however, they may report to a parent company or executive management.What to Expect from an Entertainment Coordinator
An entertainment coordinator is a jack-of-all-trades and can often switch roles as and when required. However, here are all the core tasks they can perform and roles they will fill in.Planning Your Events and Entertainment
Whether you are planning a wedding, a birthday bash, or a company event, an entertainment coordinator will arrange everything from a venue to the valet. They will plan each and every aspect of your event and entertainment, including hiring the vendors, purchasing equipment, dining, and drinking, arranging music, transportation, and everything in between.Hiring the Acts/Performers
Once you hire an entertainment coordinator, they take over all the hard work and headache of hiring the right acts for your event. They will even ensure to hire age-appropriate acts if you are organizing an event for kids, students, and young adults. An event coordinator will also be responsible for meeting and greeting the performers at the venue.Supervising the Entire Event
Once you have an entertainment coordinator on board, just sit back and relax, and they will cover the event on the day. From coordinating the main act/s to executing a variety of activities, these event experts will supervise every minute detail to make sure that your event runs smoothly and safely.Budget Management
Whatever your budget is, just let the entertainment coordinator know, and they will organize an event within your means. They will be responsible for ensuring that the event expense does not exceed your financial limitations. However, be specific about how much you are willing to spend and if you can stretch your budget to get the best acts on board.What to Look for When Hiring an Entertainment Coordinator
An entertainment coordinator must have the following traits and qualifications.- Dynamic personality
- Versatile portfolio
- Good reputation/feedback
- Excellent planning and coordinating skills
- List of vendors and contacts with various acts and artists
The Takeaway
Organizing an event is an overwhelming task, especially when it is your first. In these circumstances, a professional such as an entertainment coordinator can be a helpful ally. However, most event coordinators specialize in a specific niche. So, you must research the market thoroughly to hire one that offers every service under one umbrella. You can ask the planner you are hiring to provide you with references, and you can also look for online reviews from previous customers. Once you are sure that the event coordinator is a perfect fit for your needs, make an offer and sign the contract. One Five Six Four Entertainment has many years of experience working with these coordinators, so you’ll be in good hands.

Why You Should Pick Empire 6
What’s Your Vibe?
The vibe you want at your reception is a very personal decision. Therefore, it should (hopefully) be a nice meld between you and your fiancé’s preferences. To determine what kind of music vibe you want, ask yourself: What kind of atmosphere do you want to create for your guests? Do you want to keep it soft and classic with lots of instrumentals and easy listening? Is the goal to focus on intimate conversation and keep the background noise to a minimum? Or, do you want a high-energy party band that has the latest chart-topping pop hits in the bag? Do you want a wedding music band that can entice your guests, get them out of their seats, and keep the dance floor full all night? Would you like a specific musical era? Do you have a wedding theme that would tighten up the entertainment parameters? Having the answers to these questions will help lay the framework for who should take the stage at your big event. Another important thing to consider is your guest list. Is it an adult-only reception where lyrical content is not an issue? Will there be kids present to join in on some of the popular choreographed wedding classics? Do you want to have some music to cater to the older generations as well? Taking these things into consideration will help you hone in on what kind of entertainment you need to seek out.Who Is Empire 6
What if we told you there was a production company that could check every box on your entertainment “to-do” list regardless of what vibe you want to create at your reception? Cue Empire 6, a production company that has over a decade of experience! They are the ultimate one-stop shop in entertainment for corporate events, weddings, galas, trade shows, conferences, and everything in between. From ballrooms to stadiums with guest lists of 100 to 15,000, Empire 6 has got you covered! They offer full service of audio, lighting, and video to make your event pop. They have a reputation of being high-energy, interactive, and over-the-top (a great quality if you want to make big impressions on your guests). However, they can also scale it all the way back and give you small ensembles. Likewise, they do solo-pianist shows, if your event requires a laid-back atmosphere. They have extensive experience in customizing the perfect “entertainment cocktails”, if you will, for their clients. Plus, they are passionate about working with you to do their part in bringing your vision to fruition. It helps that they are well versed in a wide range of specialties, but the array of music they can produce and perform is seemingly endless.Why You Need Empire 6
Wedding planning is an animal all its own. There are so many layers to working out the nitty-gritty details of every aspect from flowers to color schemes, bridal parties to hotel accommodations, and so much more. Let us make entertainment one of the easiest things on your list. You will not be disappointed with what we can bring to your event! Check us out at One Five Six Four today!Wild Horses
