Top Live Bands in Kolkata

There are many ways using which you can add a dose of entertainment to the wedding festivities. It can be done by introducing some fun games, hiring a DJ artist or even a live band. Although hiring singers or band to perform live at functions is more of western culture because traditionally in Indian weddings, it has always been preferred to hire dhol nagada walas. 

If you are opting to hire a live band for the wedding functions then it is very important to pick the best, and this is defined by a number of factors. Reason being, the band will be responsible for setting the mood of the evening and at the same time ensuring that event moves from one beautiful moment to next with ease and fluidity. 

Therefore to help you out, we have compiled a list of 8 must remember points while searching for live music bands in Kolkata.

  • Research Smart & Research Well: You simply cannot go and book the very first live band you find in the market. The first step is to decide upon the type of music or ambiance you want for the function which can be ‘laid back and relaxed’ or ‘classy’ or ‘all out crazy’. Now once you have decided the theme, start searching for those type of live bands which fit-in that particular theme. This will avoid any kind of confusion at a later stage, and save a lot of time in finding proper live bands. 
  • Booking Early: Availability of the desired band, especially in the case of Indian wedding scenario, is an unsure matter. As almost all the couples prefer getting married on auspicious dates, availability of live bands on the particular date can easily become questionable if the bookings are not done in advance. We highly recommend to search and finalize the band at least 2 months before the wedding. 
  • Aiming for Discounts: There are some couples who prefer planning their wedding festivities during weekends (basically at dates other than the auspicious ones). During such days, the demand for every type of wedding vendor is less, and due to this one can easily get discounts while booking a live band. So if your wedding dates are falling during the off-season, then do not forget to bargain and get more discounts.
  • Check with the Venue: There is a different type of restrictions when it comes to different venue options. Like in case of a hotel banquet, too loud music is not allowed to be played as it creates a disturbance for the wedding guests. Also, many hotel banquets are not able to occupy more than 3-4 band artists along with the equipment. Similarly, when a wedding lawn is booked, there is a restriction on playing music post 10 pm if the venue is located nearby residential areas. Therefore before deciding upon the type of band and music, inquire about venue rules (if any).
  • The Duration of the Performance: Another important consideration while hiring a live band is the time duration for which they will perform. Say, the band agreed to perform for 3 hours then you can easily plan the performance at the time when most of the guests will be in presence. This will enable all of them to enjoy the function and make it memorable. 
  • Experience: The must remember list for any wedding vendor will be incomplete without their ‘experience’ in the particular area. Famous music bands in Kolkata make the wedding functions super impressive only because of their capabilities to understand music requirement by looking at the guests' mood. And this skill comes only with the experience. So before finalizing any live band, ask them to show video recordings of previous performances at weddings.
  • Select your Music: As you are hiring a live band to sing and perform at the wedding, there is something special you could try. A bride or groom both have a favorite track, you can ask the lead singer to perform the song on your behalf for the fiance. Or even better, you can pick up the mic and sing along with the lead artist. But for all this, you need to ask the band artists, search the songs and practice your singing skills. 
  • Money: Let us be honest, weddings are (or can become) an expensive affair. If you start adding up venue rent, dress cost, catering cost, Mehendi artist, jewelry etc, it shoots up in the air like crazy. Hence you should decide the amount of money out of the entire wedding budget, that can be spent on hiring a live band. After this, hire from only those bands who are willing to work within your budget.
