Is there enough space at Curradine Barns to hire a live band and + DJ?
Brides and grooms who hire HARD TO HANDLE BAND as their Curradine Barns wedding supplier love our mix of music and our band and DJ-in one set up, and though the main barn usually has more than enough space, sometimes, such as during the Christmas period, various installed decorations (and a HUGE Christmas tree) means there may not be enough space for a separate band and DJ, especially if the band is one of those large boring events bands featuring 97 musicians. You know the type!
None of this presents a problem for HARD TO HANDLE BAND, so when you hire us as your Curradine Barns live music supplier, you’ll have non-stop music all night, so when we finish one set, our DJ takes over straight away. No waiting around, just continuous music. We also have a compact set up which means that your guests will have plenty of space to show off their dance moves, jump around like mad people, fall over, get back up, have a dance off and generally have the best time of their lives on the dance floor!
Unlike some live entertainment wedding suppliers in Worcestershire, we don’t leave anything to chance: by the time your big day comes around we will have liaised with yourself, the venue and any other Worcestershire wedding suppliers you have hired to ensure that your Curradine Barns wedding goes to plan, like clockwork. As a Curradine Barns wedding supplier we pride ourselves on being able to reflect the professionalism and “here to help” ethos of the venue.
We will have discussed what time you want your all-important first dance (which we would LOVE to play live for you!), what time you would like our live band and DJ sets and which songs you would like us to play. In 2 hours of live band music you can expect us to play anything up to 36 songs so put your thinking caps on and choose your favourite songs! We will arrive in plenty of time on the day, setting up in the main room while you and your guests are seated for your wedding breakfast in the adjacent banquet room. We perform a silent set up, so by the time your meal and speeches have concluded, your guests are presented with a full band and DJ with an impressive set up including an amazing lighting rig, ready to entertain you.
When you hire HARD TO HANDLE BAND + DJ as your Worcestershire wedding supplier you’ll see nothing but smiles on the face of your guests all night, but be warned: don’t expect them to be able to talk or walk properly the following morning because they will have been singing and dancing so hard the night before that they’ll be spent and have nothing left to give the next day!
At a recent Curradine Barn performance, lovely bride Nicki and Shane had definite ideas about the music they wanted us to play. Their first dance was a song that was new to us (“Home” by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros), definitely not a song you would expect a three piece live band to be able to play, but because we are talented musicians we put together a version that was faithful to the original while giving it our own twist, something our wedding couple really appreciated. Apart from this, they gave us a few steers – favourite songs they definitely wanted to hear in the band and DJ sets, but beyond this they said the three words guaranteed to strike fear into the hearts of many Worcestershire music wedding suppliers – “work the room”.
There’s nothing more likely to clear the dance floor than a band who is not able to intuitively play music that will get guests dancing. As a professional Worcestershire wedding supplier we know that rigidly sticking to the same playlist gig after gig is a recipe for disaster. We play music that’s appropriate for the evening and we know how to change the music we’re playing to ensure that all of your guests are on the dance floor. It’s not just about having an extensive repertoire (although having a playlist of hundreds of live band songs certainly helps); it’s about having the experience to make the judgement call and say “OK, let’s play a song that we know will blow the roof off”. As musicians you can only do this is you have the experience of performing over 200 wedding receptions each year – it gives you the ability to feel what’s right and know what the next song should be. As a bride and groom this is your big day; you will have invested time and money into making the perfect wedding reception. You should be able to personalise and customise your other wedding supplies, and hiring a live band should be no different. Go get to it – contact HARD TO HANDLE BAND!
