Pros

One of the best advantages of having a live band for your wedding is that it will create a festive atmosphere right away.

A live wedding band that plays well, has a good repertoire and a variety of instruments is a great motivator to get the dance floor going.

Cons

Pros

Because the music is live, it can be adapted to the specific moments of your wedding, for example, at the bouquet toss, or to dance “la viborita” or even to create a fun or romantic moment. Live music is the best way to accompany and bring life to every situation.

Cons

If the venue you choose for your wedding doesn’t have good space or is too open where the weather can interfere you could lose quality or the band might not play properly because of the conditions.
