The most important things to check before booking a band for your wedding reception include:
Music Selection: Wedding bands often play a huge repertoire of songs, and most will tailor their setlist to suit your preferences.
Venue Limitations: Some wedding venues may have restrictions, including space and noise limits. Find out in advance to ensure the band can prepare and bring suitable equipment.
Logistics: Check whether the band has PAT-tested equipment and public liability insurance before booking.
Extras: If the band needs to travel or stay overnight, you may need to pay an extra fee. Some musicians will also offer longer sets for an additional fee.
It depends on the band you choose, but most will offer a playlist between their live sets. This is often called a laptop DJ service, and it's included in the price. You can let the band know your preferred songs and genres.

No matter which option you choose, remember to let the band know if they can use the venue's PA system or need to bring their own.
