Q: Why choose a band to play at your wedding verse a DJ?

A: DJ’s can be great and they are cheaper than a band, but there is nothing like a live band to get a crowd excited and create a sense of anticipation and sophistication.
A good band leader help with being the Master of ceremonies once the dance starts. A great band will interact with folks on the dance floor, paying attention to the “feel” of the room.
A live band is, well, live! You and your guests will experience the pleasure of a live performance. Anything can happen to raise the excitement level. A grooving rhythm section or a soaring emotional vocal. Live is Live! ‘Nuff said!

Q: Does TBH ask you to sign a contract and do we request a deposit?

A: Yes to both. The contract is very simple and expresses our commitment to the client. We ask for a $250 deposit to hold a date. This amount is completely refundable if the wedding is canceled.

Q: Can TBH learn a special song for the first dance?

A: Absolutely. We also have songs that we can recommend for this part of the evening.

Q: Should the band connect with the event planner or facility management in advance of the event?

A: Yes. It’s important to connect with somebody to make sure that all the little technical details are looked after.

A: Yes. We can play The Wedding March (fun rockin’ version) or some thing special and funky for the couple to group too!

Q: Can TBH provide music between sets so that people can continue dancing?

A: Absolutely. The easiest way to do this is to supply us with a Spotify song list and we will keep the music flowing all night long! If you need help creating a playlist or need help selecting songs, we are able to help.
