HOW TO SELECT MUSICIANS FOR YOUR WEDDING IN MONTREAL?  MONTREAL WEDDINGS IS HERE TO HELP!

Music is one of the aspects of a wedding that always leaves a lasting impression. Good bands and good musicians are often reserved more than one year in advance.

No matter what type of musicians you’re looking for, it’s important to make sure that they will play music for all the age groups at your wedding reception.

There are many other important details to consider before choosing your musicians: Do they take special requests? Can they play the song that you’ve chosen for your first dance? Do they take care of playing pre-recorded music during their breaks? This may help you save on DJ fees. Many musicians will even allow you to bring an iPod to play your own playlists during their breaks.

Before hiring a band or musicians, you must check with your reception site to make sure there are no sound restrictions. Find out if the site requires you to work with unionized musicians, insured musicians, etc.?

Don’t forget to include a meal for every musician in your budget.

Ask them for advice. They could suggest how to do an efficient transition between the time they are on stage and the time they leave for their break to make sure that the party continues. Take advantage of your meeting with them to ask the right questions.
