Step 1
Attend bridal shows. Many wedding bands showcase their talents at bridal shows and expos. Take the time to listen to a few different bands and see if they suit your wedding style.
-
Step 2
Use bands from other receptions that you have attended. If you remember a band from a past wedding that you enjoyed, contact the bride for the details. Remember to ask her if she would mind if you used the same band.
-
Step 3
Look for a band that plays a variety of musical styles. The best bands cover an array of musical styles and tastes. Ask to look at their song list before you hire them.

Step 4
Set up a time to meet with the band manager. The organization that books the band can let you know their availability for your wedding date as well as their cost.
-
Step 5
Read through all contracts. Before you sign anything, read the wedding band's contracts to see their requirements. You must also check with your reception venue to see if they can accommodate the band and their equipment.
