Function bands are live music bands that perform in various kinds of functions like those of weddings, birthdays, corporate events and other private parties to make them extra special and give them a personal touch. The term function band hire thus refers to the hiring of such bands to perform at your function.

The first and foremost thing in function band hire is to check with your venue whether at all they have a music license or not. If they do not have this, then live bands will not be allowed to play at their premises and knowing this fact at the last moment may ruin your function completely. Incase they have all the required permits, enquire about the sound limits if any.

In case of a function band hire the perfect one which can cater to all your function's musical needs. Go through the yellow pages or surf the net for the basic search. In case you are choosing one from the net go through the reviews of their performances and also the clippings of their performances if any. You can call up the venues to get an unbiased opinion about the performances of the bands you have short listed. Friends and relatives can also guide you in this case if they have seen any function band perform in any function.

Function band hire in comparison with hiring music genre band, is the selection and hiring of a live music band with specialization in your type of function. Music genre bands on the other hand specialize in rock, pop, psychedelic, rap etc. They prefer performing in stages in front of their dedicated audience. On the other hand function bands are specialized to play at different functions like wedding, corporate parties, birthday parties etc.

Taking the example of a wedding function band hire a versatile one that can play all sorts of music for all types of guests attending the party. Wedding is a ceremony which is attended by friends and relatives of all age groups with varied tastes in music. The wedding band shall be able to play music of all genres right from the songs from 60's to the latest dance numbers keeping something for everyone at the same time making the day special, emotional and touching for the couple.

Function band hire is more expensive than hiring a local pub band or even a DJ. But this extra expense is completely worthwhile owing to the far greater deliverables that are received from their side. Moreover, a specialized function band has all the necessary backup to cope up in case of any emergency that may arise at the last minute. And it definitely has a better class and style than any kind of pre-recorded music like that of a DJ.

After you have short listed and selected the music band, sit with and discuss at length the type of function, the profile of guests and the sort of music that you want them to play. Give them a complete idea of the function you are arranging so that it is easier for them to select the music and play accordingly.

Lastly, when all planning has been done it is time to focus your attention on the logistical details. Check on the power supply options, check on the permission of the venue to play live music. Check on the facilities of parking, stage space, dance floors etc. After all, you can not take a risk and falter at the last moment and let all your hard work go to vain.
