Band

We knew which band we wanted right away, because we'd been to a wedding where they played. They are called Hank Lane (www.hanklane.com), and work for a lot of celebs. They have 10 bands within the company. Ours is called Park Avenue band and we chose to have a 6 member band. What they do is, each band has a set number of people that the band can "build" up to. Depending on pricing and accomodations at your reception, the event coordinator (ours is Kim) will suggest what s/he thinks is best for you. You will also write down all music in each genre that you'd like and they will match a band with your style. All musicians have to be very highly qualified and have some special event on their resume. They then go through a trial and probation period (3 years I think?) for training. So each member is very skilled. I heard demos and they were awsome! My friend had Hank Lane band (the guy who started the company) with 10 or so members. I love having the musical instruments at weddings. It brings an elegant feel. They also sing everything and anything you could hear on the radio (and they actually sound great!) which is awsome. Special requests are allowed too! :)
