Introduction
Barn weddings are on the increase and are very popular because they give you the best of both worlds: rustic and elegant. You can have a beautiful, serene setting for your ceremony, with a rustic barn in the background. Then, when it’s time to party, you can move into the barn, where there’s plenty of room for dancing and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Barns are also great because they lend themselves well to hiring a live band. Barns were originally built as places where farmers could store their livestock and tools—and usually had large open spaces that made it easy for farmers to entertain guests during harvest season. These days, many barns have been repurposed as venues for weddings and other events. They’re often even more popular than traditional churches or ballrooms because they give couples more freedom to choose their vendors and create an intimate wedding experience that’s unique just for them.
The popularity of barn weddings has grown steadily over the past decade or so, but we expect it to continue rising as couples realise how much fun they can be!
A barn wedding is a perfect option for couples who want to bring the natural beauty of their surroundings into the celebration. They are also popular because they’re affordable, but they still give you a lot of flexibility in terms of what you can do with them. You can decorate with flowers and other items that will help you make your wedding feel truly unique.
Another benefit of hiring a barn for your wedding is that it gives you more space than most other venues, which means you don’t have to worry about having enough room for all your guests.
Why hire a live band?
If you’re getting married in a barn, you’ll likely want music playing during the ceremony and reception. For many couples, party bands for hire is the best way to go because they want the music from their wedding day to be something they’ll always remember, and having live music at a wedding can help make it more memorable!
We have listed two styles of bands below that lend themselves to being perfect for a barn wedding.
Mumford & Sons style wedding bands
These bands are a great choice for a barn wedding because they are professional, talented, and affordable. Most of these bands are made up of professionals in their respective fields who have decided to come together to create a Mumford-style band. Because they are so talented, they can provide the perfect sound for your barn wedding.
Their music is also very versatile. The only requirement is that it be acoustic and played live. This allows for a wide range of options when it comes to choosing the perfect band for your wedding reception.
These bands will play an acoustic set that includes songs such as Sigh No More, Little Lion Man, I Will Wait, and The Cave by Mumford & Sons, and other popular songs from the band’s repertoire. The band will also perform covers of songs from other artists such as Bon Iver, The Lumineers, George Ezra and Bob Dylan.
A Mumford-style folk-rock band are perfect for this type of event because they can create a cosy atmosphere with their music while still providing guests with lively entertainment.
Roaming Bands/Wandering musicians
Roaming bands are also a good choice for your reception. They bring the party to you, so you don’t have to move an inch. Your guests will be dancing and singing for hours, and you’ll be able to relax and enjoy the show.
Just think: no more worrying about how many people are dancing at once or how many tables need to be moved for everyone to be able to see the band. Roaming bands can roam around freely, playing wherever they want, and that’s something that isn’t possible with a stationary band!
They can create an atmosphere that’s relaxed and casual but also upbeat and exciting. A roaming band will have everything covered.
Inside or outside, with no wires to get in the way, an acoustic unplugged roaming band is ideal entertainment for your guests.
Final words
A barn wedding is a great location for a wedding. It’s rustic and charming, but also modern and fresh. This unique combination makes it the perfect venue for couples who want something different from the traditional church or banquet hall wedding. Hiring a live band will bring it all together to make your wedding a very special day.
