Wedding Band Reviews Ireland
Searching for the Top 10 Wedding Bands in Ireland and hoping to find a definitive list of the Top 10 Wedding Bands will yield varying and misleading results. There are various sites and search terms such as Best Wedding Bands Ireland 2016/2017/2018 and Wedding Bands Ireland One Fab Day advising the researcher that they promote the Top 10 Wedding Bands in Ireland.
Search also for Wedding Band Prices and Best Wedding Bands Ireland boards .ie or Wedding Bands Dublin to see the host of articles written on the subject. However, it is, important to realize that this information is unsupported and unsubstantiated.
There is no official data to confirm this claim. Bride and grooms will undoubtedly look to book the Best Wedding Band that they can find based on their Budget but how can they wade through the pages on Google of Wedding bands all claiming to be one of the Top 10 Wedding Bands in Ireland including our very own Jukebox Kings Band.
Top 10 Wedding Bands in Ireland.
The truth is, unfortunately, there is no definitive answer. Choosing the Best Wedding Bands is subjective just like choosing the ingredients for your wedding cake. Some people like chocolate biscuit cake others traditional fruit cake. Just as you will choose your menu with your Hotel based on Budget and suitability for your guests you should also choose your Wedding Band.
Think objectively, when choosing your menu you will likely consider a vegetarian option and something for older guests. You will not choose the menu based purely on the food that you yourself like to eat. You are also not likely to settle for chicken and chips as you want to treat your guests to a memorable feast. From the same perspective, you should also choose your Band knowing that they will treat all of your guests to a variety of musical dishes, catering for all of your guest’s various tastes.
A great Band should include in their repertoire Country, Jives, Waltzes, Funk, Disco and Hits of Today. I know you possibly may not like Country music, but if you don’t like potatoes is that any reason to exclude them from the meal menu?
Wedding Band Awards
Wedding Band Awards such as “Weddings Online Best Wedding Band” are yet another misleading benchmark for Wedding Bands and have little or no relevance to the Bands position relative to any other. Don’t get me wrong very often the quality of the Band that wins is excellent. However are the unsuspecting public aware that The Band has paid and nominated themselves in the first instance in the Best Wedding Band Category? Without paying and nominating themselves no Band can be considered by the Judging panel.
There are a great many Wedding Bands who do not advertise with this company and may never nominate themselves in the category Best Wedding Band Weddings Online and yet may actually be the Best Wedding Band in Ireland we may never know. Until Wedding Websites who make money from these awards actually find a more equitable and inclusive way of creating an award system these “Awards” will remain meaningless.
Wedding Band Lineups
A Wedding Band is usually made up of a number of regular musicians, possibly friends or a team. They work closely together and play music with an energy and dynamic that transfers to the audience. Mostly these Bands are made up of professional Wedding entertainers of a very high quality that have worked at the highest level in the Irish and international entertainment business.
One important factor that should be a concern and key point for Bride and Grooms booking a Wedding Band is the lineup.
- Is the band made up of the same members night after night?
- Is the line up they book likely to be different on your Wedding Day?
Bands that work with the same lineup, have rehearsed and played together and built up a dynamic that will transfer into a professional and polished performance. This will ensure your Wedding Nights entertainment is fantastic. There are some business models who offer an option of choosing the Lead singer only with all other musicians coming together on the night. This particular business model provides many Bands, operating on the same night, in different venues, under the same name. They invest heavily in branding, marketing, and promotion. Their success is admirable and often copied. However often the standard of the Band that arrives for your wedding may not be the same that you witnessed at the Showcase event.
If this is the option that you choose and you have all the facts to make an informed choice then, you have decided to book an ensemble rather than a Band. If this is your choice it is not for me to contradict or question your wisdom. Before you decide perhaps consider what the Beatles once said (Paraphrase) ” If you rehearse together 7 Days a week you get good at rehearsing, if you play live 7 days a week you get good at playing live” So consider the quality of a Band that you book that has neither rehearsed or played live together.
The Jukebox Kings Wedding Band are together for 10 years. We have all worked as Wedding Entertainers for a great many years. Our Lineup is made up of the same members night after night, only subject to change in the unlikely event of illness or circumstances outside of our control.
Wedding Band Recommendations
The Wedding Band community is quite small and many of the acts and musicians have worked together on various projects over the years. Many of the Top Bands have formed from incarnations of other Wedding Bands. The quality of many of the Bands is exceptional. The Work ethic and desire to create a fantastic experience for Bride and Grooms is fantastic. Good news for all you people getting married the future is bright. It is difficult to single out one or two acts for a recommendation with so many quality acts available.
My opinion for what its worth is book an experienced established act regardless of their style. Much as you trust the apprentice hairdresser at blow drying your hair you will want the head stylist to style your hair on the day. So should it be with your Wedding Band?
Biting the Bullet in the event that The Jukebox Kings are busy for your Wedding Day we can highly recommend.
