Wedding Band Rocks Casa Monica Hotel Wedding

The River Town Band Casa Monica of Jacksonville, FL recently showed at the Casa Monica why it's one of Florida's top wedding bands in the Southeast. It's not easy choosing the music for your wedding, especially if it's a live band. Besides genre, shear musical talent, and your own personal tastes, you should also strongly consider the band's wedding experience, professionalism, and ability to MC an event. Not every great band will make a great wedding band.

Do they have x number of weddings under their belt (and not cousin joe's wedding 2 years ago). An understanding of wedding day reception flow, from introductions and first dances to song choice order is a must. What is their professional reputation and personal demeanor during your client meeting? Being friendly and flexible while working with other vendors, including planners, photographers, and event coordinators makes the day one seamless experience. It also goes with out saying, being on time, dressing appropriately, and proper equipment are a no brainer. Finally, who will be leading the with the mic. Can he or she command enough presence to inform your wedding guests, with out becoming a one man show, center of attention, comedian. Unlike a concert, the most important persons are not on the stage, but are the bride and groom.

I can safely say The River Town Band has all of the above qualities, and would recommend them to any clients looking for a diverse group of talented musicians to help them celebrate their big day.

There are many "lists" and "must ask" questions out there for picking wedding music, just remember, take your time and remember to ask other trusted professionals in the wedding industry for reviews and suggestions. Think of your wedding vendors as a group of talented individuals, each with their own specific skills, working together to bring you a magical wedding day.
