You don\u2019t just want any old band playing any old song. You want a wedding band that feels unique to you. Here\u2019s how you can ensure that you have a special performance on your big day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get Them to Change the Lyrics<\/span><\/p>\n

So simple but oh so effective! Yes, you can simply ask for your wedding band to change the lyrics of your song! And by \u2018your song\u2019, we mean the song that is special to yourself and your partner, not Elton John\u2019s classic, because to be honest that does not need changing at all. Okay, fine, I guess you can change it if you like. It is your wedding after all!<\/span><\/p>\n

Request a Song<\/span><\/p>\n

With a wedding band<\/a>, requesting a song is a tad harder than with a wedding DJ. If you\u2019re not the kind of person to plan too far ahead (you are planning a wedding so it seems unlikely), then you could hire a DJ for the evening and request a song with no doubt at all that your DJ will be able to play it, however with a wedding band, it takes a bit more planning. Make sure you get in contact in good time before the wedding itself and most wedding bands are more than happy to accommodate your request.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dress Up<\/span><\/p>\n

Although it\u2019s not their favourite thing in the world, depending on the costume of course, wedding bands are occasionally asked to dress up to fit the theme of a wedding. Perhaps you\u2019re a massive Alice in Wonderland fan wanting a trio of Mad Hatters, or maybe you want them all dressed in pink. Whatever it is, it\u2019s always worth asking to ensure that your wedding is exactly how you imagined it all those years ago!<\/span><\/p>\n

Surprise!<\/span><\/p>\n

Surprises at weddings always go down brilliantly but pulling this off requires either the bride or groom to contact the band in advance. Of course, that\u2019s not always the case, as Maroon 5 simply turned up to a whole host of weddings without apparently telling anybody involved in any of them. Generally speaking wedding music<\/a> shouldn\u2019t just do what they want to do. That\u2019s not how it works.<\/span><\/p>\n

Write a Song<\/span><\/p>\n

This is probably the most expensive option on the list but also, if you get it right, the one that puts your wedding far and away above everyone else\u2019s in terms of romance. Yes, you could get together with the band in advance and write a song about your soon to be husband or wife. And then you sing it on the big day! The downsides to this plan include the fact that it may be horrendously cheesy and, err, there might be a reason you\u2019re not fronting a band, but if your partner enjoys it then it\u2019s well worth doing!<\/span><\/p>\n
