Cal Coast Web Design Interviews Tino Productions Orange County & Los Angeles Wedding Band On The Top Questions To Ask Before Hiring Your Wedding Band

Orange County SEO experts Cal Coast Web Design recently conducted an interview with client, Tino Macchia the founder and leader of Orange County wedding band Tino Productions. Tino Productions has been playing weddings throughout Southern California for over 25 years and have achieved a level of success that few other Los Angeles wedding bands and Orange County wedding bands ever have. Though Tino is an extremely busy individual he took some time out of his busy schedule in order to answer a few questions regarding questions everyone should ask a wedding band before hiring them for their celebration. The following are those questions and answers.


Q. What type of wedding band is right for my wedding?

A. For the most part nearly every wedding is different as are the celebrations that follow them. Brides, Grooms, and guests all have different tastes in music and styles. This can make finding an Orange County wedding band that fits into the style and theme of your wedding difficult. There are those wedding bands that specialize in just one type of music and choosing such a band will work out great if everyone involved with the wedding enjoys the type of music they specialize in. Wedding bands whom specialize might also work well in scenarios where the wedding they're to play at are themed and where something very specific is needed. For the most part however weddings usually see guests attend that all have different tastes in music. The younger crowd might enjoy some raucous Rock and Roll while older guests may enjoy
something more low key and conservative. Bands that specialize in just one type of act or music simply won't work in these scenarios and anyone planning your average wedding will want to seek out a Los Angeles wedding band that's capable of playing not just one or two different genre's of music but many. This will please all the guests and will help make it a day to remember. So essentially the right band is a band that suits the musical needs of
everyone involved.

Q. What should I look for in an Orange County Wedding Band?

A. There are a number of things to look for in an Orange County wedding band and not all of them have to do with just their musical talents. Musical ability, genre proficiency is a must but there are several important things to keep in mind when considering any Los Angeles wedding band. Perhaps first and foremost price. Weddings can run the gamut from inexpensive to extremely expensive and you'll want to make sure you're getting what you pay for. If for example you're looking at limited band that creates their own set list, takes few requests, or plays only for a short time, you're not going to want to pay what you would for a band with friendlier and more comprehensive services. On the other hand keep in mind too that you get what you pay for and Orange County wedding bands with extremely low fees might indicated inferior or questionable experience, talent, and ability. Finding a band that fits both the needs of your wedding and your budget is key.

When scouting Los Angeles wedding bands you'll also want to check their availability. Many bands have regular bookings and obligations to fulfill and may not be available on the day of your wedding. In addition to that booking the Los Angeles wedding band that suits you as early as possible can save you a lot of hassle down the road. Doing so not only locks them in for your special day but booking a band far in advance helps prevent unavailability issues.


Q. Are there any Orange County wedding bands that offer services aside from live band performances?


A. In short yes! Many though not all Southern California wedding bands offer a whole host of additional services that help make a wedding spectacular. For example most bands offer Emcee services to those who hire them for a wedding and while some include this service in their package others charge additional fees for such a thing. There are also bands that offer alternative musical services. Aside from the live band playing during the reception, groups sometimes offer things like strolling musicians, flautists, and musicians for traditional and custom processional musical needs. There are even some bands that function as a total entertainment company and offer various types of specialized entertainment such as tribute bands, comedians, etc.

Q. What's the best way to go about selecting a Los Angeles wedding band?

A. Anyone who might be planning a wedding should first begin by searching the internet for Orange County wedding bands. A single search will yield hundreds of results. Once you determine what bands you're interested in try speaking with people you know to see if they've ever heard of those bands and if so what their impressions of them might be. Searching for reviews on the internet is also a great way to find out just how good and what type of reputations these bands have. Once research is complete, you should contact the band or bands that pique your interest. Ask for samples of their work, an audition, and references. Many Orange County wedding bands place these things on their websites making it even easier to determine if these bands are right for your wedding. When selecting a wedding band it's important to be thorough and take your time. Doing so will help ensure you end up with a band that's going to meet your needs.

Tino hopes that this question and answer session is helpful to those on the hunt for a Los Angeles wedding band. Tino Macchia and his Orange County wedding band Tino Productions can be contacted via email and also have website set up dedicated to their Orange County wedding services in order to help those in need of such services.
