Weddings
| Weddings are our
specialty! From small informal affairs to large gatherings, B Street
has the right music for all ages and tastes.
The following information has been compiled in order to assist you in
creating your perfect day. Please remember these are only suggestions and
you are welcome to use them as you see fit.
|
|
 | Starting Time for the Band
We find that it is best to have the band start playing soft background
music as soon as your guests arrive. This sets the best mood to start
your special day. And, if you’d like, our Piano Player is
available to play your cocktail hour. |
|
|
|
| Introduction of the Wedding Party
Using the wedding information sheet, fill in the
names of the people in your party exactly as you would like
them to be announced (i.e. Mr. Robert Thompson – brother of the bride,
etc.). All of these names are checked for correct pronunciation when
the wedding party is in proper order prior to the
introduction.
Our Master of Ceremonies will assist in the line up of the wedding party and
will then introduce you just after the formal pictures and
immediately before dinner. |
|
| |
| Who Will Select the Songs the Band Will Play?
Our extensive song list offers many popular choices for your first,
parent’s and specialty dances. We will gladly learn 1 – 2 special
requests that are not in our repertoire. We only ask that you let us
know what your special requests are 90 days prior to your affair. |
|
|
|
| Dinner
B Street will perform a background 'dinner set' featuring some swing,
light jazz, and popular ballads during the reception until the main course is served.
At that time we typically break for dinner and will provide
recorded music using our integrated DJ system. |
|
| |
| Do We Have To Provide Dinner for the Band?
We would greatly appreciate this as we rarely have time to eat due to
travel time, setting up, or playing through mealtimes. |
|
| |
| How Often Will The Band Break, And For How Long?
As we are conscientious about providing the maximum amount of time for
dancing, we customarily take three breaks during a standard four hour
engagement. The dinner break is the longest, lasting from the time
approximately one third of your guests have been served the main
course until the tables are cleared. The second break occurs after the
first 50 minute dance set. The last break usually occurs just prior
to the final hour of dancing and lasts approximately 10 - 15 minutes.
|
|
| |
| Will Recorded Music Be Provided During the Break?
We provide a professional DJ set-up that is integrated into our main
sound system. We will DJ during our breaks supplying your affair with
a wide variety of musical styles. We carry 300+ CD’s and will gladly
play any CD or Cassette Tape of yours. |
|
| |
| When Will You Call Me?
We will contact you at the beginning of the week prior to your wedding
reception. At this time we will review the line-up, confirm all
information, and review with you by phone or in person any last minute
details or changes. Our employment with you does not begin and end the
day of the wedding. We are happy to hear from you at anytime regarding
any of the plans for your reception. |
|
| |
| What If I Need To Change the Time of My Reception?
ANY CHANGES TO AN EXISTING CONTRACT MUST BE IN WRITING. Small changes
usually present no problem. We will always do our best to accommodate
you, within the constraints of our schedule. A major change may not be
possible, especially if it were to create a conflict with another
engagement booked that day. We therefore urge you to be certain that
the times you wish us to begin playing are carefully coordinated with
your ceremony and the reception facility before returning the
contacts. |
|
| |
| Formalities
The Cake Cutting
If you’re cutting the cake, it usually works well during dinner
(before the main course), or directly after the tables are cleared. We
will make an announcement to your guests and play background music
while your photographer takes you through the ceremony. |
|
| |
| The First (Bridal) Dance
You may choose any song for your first dance (please see above for
choosing songs that need to be learned especially for your affair).
Also, you may choose to have your first dance with the bride and groom
only, or you may elect to have the wedding party join in half way
through the song.
Having the rest of your wedding party join in creates a memorable
photograph. |
|
| |
| Parent Dances
Normally, parent dances are done after the bride and groom’s first
dance. You may separate the couple’s dance, or both couples can dance
at the same time. See song list for song
suggestions. |
|
| |
| Garter and Bouquet Toss
If you elect to have this formality, it works best about an hour
before the end of the reception. We will coordinate this formality
with the photographer during our last break. |
|
| |
| Payments
Outstanding balances, gratuities and overtime charges are to be
paid directly to the bandleader. Payments made by personal check must
be received no later than two weeks prior to event date. For your
convenience, overtime charges can be billed after the event. |
|
| |
We hope these suggestions have
been helpful! Thank you for choosing "B Street". We look forward to
making your special day PERFECT! |
