Your wedding day is probably up there along with the birth
of your children on the scale of the most significant days
in your life. After your ceremony, naturally you want your
reception to be just right, and as personal to you as your
marriage vows. Foremost in your mind is to have your reception
run as smoothly as possible, and a great deal of emphasis
is always placed on photographers, flowers, food, wine etc.
But often very little consideration is given to the entertainment,
and bookings are often made on someone else’s recommendation,
or on a ‘whatever is available’ basis. But if
you think about it, the lion’s share of your reception
is the party after the meal. This is the time when you both
really get to relax and mingle in the company of your loved
ones and friends. So choosing a top quality professional
band is paramount to the success of this most special of
celebrations.
So what makes a great night for the bride/groom/ family
and guests? John Mc Cormick Promotions explains that it
begins after the first dance when the band invites everybody
to join the bride and groom onto the floor to celebrate
their wedding. The band must entertain the guests not educate
them. Keep them on the floor playing hit after hit. It’s
like a great chef. You have to know the ingredients and
when to put them in. The band must have the programme of
songs, know when to play them, and most importantly have
the musicians to create great music and have the experience
to put it across in a professional party mood.
John McCormick Promotions have years of experience in providing
top class, totally reliable bands, who have enjoyed performing
at weddings, corporate galas, and charity functions in such
lucrative establishments as; The Four Seasons, The Berkley
Court, The Shelburne, Ashford Castle, Cabra Castle, Castle
Leslie, Kinitty Castle, Killkee Castle and The Ritz Carlton.
Some of Irelands home grown celebrities whom we have had
the pleasure of entertaining are Bertie Ahern (an Taoiseach),
billionaire Sean Quinn, West Life’s Shane Finnan, Celtic’s
Martin O’Neill, Boxer Barry McGuigan, Motor Racing’s
Eddie Jordan, and Ryan Air’s Michael O’Leary.
Last year the Irish Times published an article on Irish
Weddings. They asked all the Brides interviewed, if they
could change anything about their wedding day, what would
they do differently? 90% said Entertainment.
So forget the limousine - walk from the church to the hotel!
Forget the dress and tux - wear jeans! Serve burgers and
chips! Just make sure you have a kick ass band and you will
have a night that your friends and family will rave about
for years – with no regrets!
