There are many ways that a person can throw a party so magnificent that it will become the talk of the town. You can have everything from high profile people to themes specially designed by you, not to mention live bands performing at your party. The live bands will obviously cast an enchantment over your party and all the guests will thoroughly enjoy talking about it for the next few days.

There are many types of live bands. There are function bands that are specialized to play in functions like weddings, anniversaries, birth days etc, then there are music genre bands which play a particular genre of music. There are decade bands which play the music of a particular decade like the fifties or the sixties or the seventies, and, there are tribute bands which perform the songs of a legendary band or an iconic singer. It is up to you to decide which live bands are going to be the best fit for your party.

You must first look upon the kind of party it is going to be. If you have a wedding party, an anniversary celebration or a birthday bash, you should opt for live bands specializing in these kinds of functions. If the party is going to be a corporate party, a reunion or the like, choose bands by the genre, decade bands or tribute bands.

You can also throw a themed party like, on a sea beach or a farm house. Here, you have to go for live bands which play the music of a particular genre or decade or even tribute bands when you have a beach party. You should hire a Hawaiian or a reggae band to bring on the environment of an 'on the beach' feeling with rhythmic numbers.

Suppose you are having the party in a remote farm house with western decors. Get live bands specializing in Country music and your themed party is sure to get some thing extra special with the live music.

When you are having a reunion with your old high-school mates and you want a really nostalgic atmosphere around, hire live bands and get them to play the chartbusters of your school days. Where there is a private party, with guests who are mostly interested in some particular bands or singers it would be preferable to have tribute bands at work, which impersonate legends like the Beatles or Elvis Presley and perform their hits.

You have to decide what the character of the party is going to be. You have to select the live bans accordingly. You can find them in the internet, in the Yellow Pages or you can ask your friends and relatives to refer one. You can also find them if you speak with the people of the venue you have rented as live bands often play in these venues. Find the live bands, speak to them and select the one that suits you best.

When you have finally selected your live band and planned for the programme, first and foremost, go through the logistics of the venue. Check whether the venue has a permit to stage live bands. Then go through the sound limits, the on-stage facilities, the dance floor and also the parking area. Check the time limits to play music also, if any. After you have arranged for everything, dive into the party and have fun!
