Planning a wedding can be a very exciting adventure. A lot of people started dreaming about their big day when they were wee little kids on the playground. There’s the flowers, the wedding cake, and, most importantly, the dress! While the thoughts of beautiful things twirl around in your mind as you start to piece together your vision for the big day, don’t let the entertainment for the evening fall to the wayside. Think back to the last wedding you went to. Was it a celebration to remember for years to come or were you already heading for home before they even cut the cake? Entertainment is a critically important element in your wedding — especially if you want to keep your guests engaged and interactive. Truth is, the music sets the tone for the reception. In a nutshell, you need a wedding band. This is where Empire 6 comes into play.

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?

Choosing the Best Wedding Band

Planning a wedding is a big undertaking. To some, it’s thrilling! It’s an opportunity to plan the biggest and greatest celebration of a lifetime! There’s so much to do! Everyone has their own vision! This could either include a Pinterest board (or 10), various lists, and printouts! Likewise, the wedding planning may include screenshots of ideas you may want to recreate or customize. It’s a “to-do” list of flowers and color schemes, bridesmaids’ dresses, and centerpieces. The devil is in the details. To others, it is an overwhelming abundance of tasks and the first thing on their “to-do” list is to hire a wedding planner. Regardless of who is taking the reins in the wedding planning venture, there is one thing that your guests won’t quickly forget after the festivities of the big day are in the rearview mirror. Remember, the reception equals dancing, and dancing equals music. You need to find yourself the best wedding band. Luckily, Texas isn’t just known for their BBQ anymore but cities scattered all across the state have made a name for themselves in music. Some cities are more underrated for the music they churn out than others. Nevertheless, from Dallas to Houston, Austin to San Antonio, you will not be hard-pressed to find some good listening. However, wedding entertainment is a niche market. Therefore, if you are going to be responsible for entertaining potentially hundreds of guests, you’ll need to do your research. Here is a list of your most important considerations when choosing a Texas wedding band for your upcoming nuptials.

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!
