If you have already hired Gorcott Hall in Worcestershire you don’t need a Warwickshire wedding supplier like Hard to Handle wedding band + DJ to extol its’ virtues as you’ll already be aware of how perfect it is for small to midsized functions, especially during the summer months when the patio doors are open, allowing the sounds of birdsong and cool breezes to be the soundtrack of your Warwickshire wedding. We’re talking of course about the stand-alone room used for wedding breakfasts and evening entertainment. Redditch wedding suppliers such as wedding décor and cake specialists also know that due to the compact nature of the room, any supplies they are setting up in need to take the size and layout of the room into consideration.
There won't be enough space for a wedding band to set up, will there?
Will Warwickshire wedding bands have enough space to set up? Though Gorcott Halls’ owners have thoughtfully redesigned the room to increase the size of the space from the side wall to the dance floor, any entertainment wedding supplier you hire needs to be mindful of the limited area available to set up. Let’s face it, the last thing you want to have on your big day is one of your guests tripping over a speaker or cable left on the dance floor by a Warwickshire wedding band who have been unable to set up a compact enough footprint. When you look at the line up of some Warwickshire wedding bands, you’ll quickly become aware that a five or six live wedding band will simply be too large a wedding supplier for the Redditch wedding venue.
What to do? You could hire a DJ – they won’t take up very much space. You could hire a solo singer who will also have a smaller footprint. But if you have your heart set on a hiring a live band to entertain your guests, you might feel the need to compromise, to cut corners and just not have a live band. You also might need to consider sound levels – some DJs and many live bands will have a minimum volume they are prepared to play at and the entertainment room at Gorcott Hall is simply unsuitable for wedding suppliers who play too loud.
Warwickshire wedding band
Fortunately you have found HARD TO HANDLE BAND – we are a superbly entertaining local professional function band and are proud to have partnered with the venue for several years as a Gorcott Hall preferred wedding supplier. This means that the venue approves of our set up, which is very compact, especially when you consider that we provide not just the band but also a live DJ, sound system and lighting – in other words, everything you need for a great nights’ entertainment! Because we are a preferred supplier, it means that you won’t need to speak to Gorcott Hall about whether we are an appropriate wedding supplier. In fact, we are more than “appropriate” – we are perfect!
We pride yourselves on being able to adapt and personalise the music we play to suit the tastes of brides and groom who hire us. To that end, we don’t just have one set playlist we use on every gig. Instead we allow you to choose the music you want to hear and actively encourage song requests. That’s not something you will hear too many other Warwickshire wedding bands telling you! We perform 2 hours of live music, but instead of playing in one block, we spread our live band sets throughout the night in either two or three sets for maximum value entertainment. If your evening is starting later that 8pm we usually suggest having the band 2 x 1 hour sets, but if you want to start earlier, 3 x 40 minute sets would probably be better.

In 2 hours of live band music we can perform up to 34 songs, and you are welcome to choose as many or as few songs as you like – these can either be from our massive 370+ song playlist or favourite songs that you would like us to play. One of the reason why our playlist is so large and eclectic (featuring classic and contemporary rock, indie, pop, soul, folk and much more) is that at each of the over 200 bookings we play each year, there is at least one song that we are asked by brides and grooms that is so good that we just have to add it to our playlist. Many – but not all – of these are first dance songs, and if you have decided on your first dance but are worried that it’s so personal to yourselves or so unusual that you don’t think that you will ever find a Warwick wedding band who will be able to do it justice, think again! As talented professional musicians, HARD TO HANDLE are a highly versatile band with the ability to perform almost any style of music with ease. We also love a challenge, so when you hire us as your Gorcott Hall supplier, bring those unusual left-field requests to the table and we’ll knock them out of the park!
At our most recent wedding band performance at Gorcott Hall, Redditch bride and groom Sam and Lucy had a wise approach to the songs they wanted us to play – they included some song requests but asked us to use our judgement and “work the room”. Those three words are so important! Hiring a band who can take a look at your guests on the night and base their playlist on what they think will work best is absolutely key and critical to the success or otherwise) of your nights’ entertainment, and while you may be tempted to hire a mates’ band who have played at a few pubs in return for a few drinks, a band with just one playlist, or even worse, a band that refuses to learn song requests or change the music they are playing on the night, hiring HARD TO HANDLE as your Gorcott Hall wedding supplier will reap dividends as we will bring our requisite experience of hundreds of gigs and huge playlist to the party and work the room to ensure a full dance floor at your wedding reception, all night!
