Negotiate the cost

Once you have decided the music band, the next step is to negotiate the cost and charges. Ask for any discounts and offers. Make the band with less number of musicians rather than crowding the stage. Also try to get the reviews of their previous performances in traditional Indian weddings. See to that proper accommodation facilities are made for the band head and its members. Sometimes they charge more and demand rooms in star hotels. So it is better to discuss properly with the band head regarding their demands to avoid future problems. Page 4 of 9

Get the list

Once the cost is fixed, get the wedding music list ready. Inform them clearly about the do’s and don'ts of the wedding music. Avoid vulgar songs and very slow music. It is better to prepare music for weddings from the list available from the band. Make the atmosphere lively with both fast beat and slow beat songs. Also make the band to play both old and new songs from the wedding music list.

Be concerned about the space

Once the venue is fixed, see to that enough space is available to be occupied by the wedding music band. If the wedding hall is not spacious then make arrangements for the band in open space where people can enjoy and dance to the tunes being played. In Indian wedding music lyrics are also given importance and the guests also start to sing the song along with the band.
