Reasons Why Hiring a Band for an Event is a Good Idea

15/2/2021

Are you hosting an event and thinking about what you’re missing? Your checklist is probably jam-packed but you’ve likely crossed off the venue, the guest list, the catering, the seating, but you’ve forgotten something that is crucial - the entertainment. An event is important, so you can’t just hire a clown to fill up time, you need something good.

​The best solution for event entertainment is a live band, and there are a lot of good reasons why. Not only is it something that people are used to, but it could save you behind for a lot of reasons.
 
Here is why a band is so vital for your event planning.

Can Provide Additional DJ Services
The best thing a band can do when you hire them is versatile. This may come down to them or their booking agent, but if you look at this URL, you can see what to look for when booking. A good live band may be able to offer DJ services on the side as an additional feature. They could bring their own turntables, or even provide some catered playlists for the event, but it’s a good way to maximize their use for the event.

Help Create a Better Atmosphere
An event should truly feel like an event. There are plenty of events you’ve been to in your life where it was a big room filled with tables, chairs, catering, but it lacked something special. That something special might be the band that you can hire to keep people invested in their time. The atmosphere needs to be fun and exciting, which is exactly what it can be when they hear their favourite songs.

Keeps People Energized
Continuing on the topic of atmosphere, the biggest part of it is energy. That is exactly what a band brings to an event. When people hear that favorite song, they’re more excited, they want to drink more, they want to converse, they feel like they want to do more at this event which makes it more fun for everyone. It’s also a good way to get people to use a dance floor and take advantage of the space of the venue. This helps make the room feel like it’s cohesive and moving.

No Dead Silence During the Festivities

Dead silence during an event is deadly. People stop talking, everyone can hear it, but it’s an awkward situation that is hard to navigate for people. This can kill the energy and atmosphere in minutes but a band makes sure that this doesn’t happen. When there’s a backing sound for the event, there’s never a moment of dead silence that can give way to that awkward lull in conversation which people notice. It keeps people talking, keeps them engaged, and it makes sure that the venue is jumping.

Good Way to Draw Attention
If you need more ways to keep the dead silence from happening, or a lull in the conversation, or that lack of energy, you should think about how a band keeps people’s attention. They could simply be using it as a placeholder when they have nothing to say, so they pay attention to the band. This is something that is important as it opens up more avenues for conversation and it keeps people focused on something. Hosting an event is all about making sure that people are engaged with what’s going on, and there’s no better way to do that than with a live band.

Adds a More Planned Feeling to the Event
​
A haphazardly planned event or party is noticeable quite quickly. It could be the decorations, the quality of the catering, or it could be the fact that people notice there isn’t any entertainment. Those who notice that there isn’t entertainment will know that those moments of awkward silence or lack of energy is eventually going to make the event feel weird. A band adds a professional feeling and a planned and organized confidence to the event because bands are such an ingrained aspect of a good event. This will give guests a good impression of professionalism put into the event.

Being an event planner is all about knowing how to work a room. This means being prepared from the get-go with the right resources. One of the most fool proof resources for planning a great event is to bring in a live band. They provide the energy and potential to work a room with music in ways that will make you shine as the architect of the fun.​
