Booking a wedding band sounds simple, but there are some common mistakes that can lead to stress, disappointment, or worse - awkward silence on the dance floor.

Here’s how to avoid the pitfalls and why Gravity is the perfect choice for your big day.

1. Booking Too Late

Great bands book up fast. Waiting until the last minute could mean scrambling for whatever’s left. Tip: contact us as soon as you know your date.

2. Ignoring the Vibe

A band’s music sets the tone for your entire celebration. If you’re an alternative couple, a standard wedding band might feel off. Gravity specializes in emo, pop-punk, and alternative hits that match your style perfectly.
