We're happy to work with you on this. The usual protocol is for the group to start no earlier than 8.30pm/9.00pm in order for the band to not peak too early on your big night.
10How long does the wedding band take to setup?
We usually like to have a minimum of 1 and a half hours in order to setup and soundcheck. This gives us plenty of time to make sure everything is right and deal with any potential unforeseen issues.
