What is a “New York-style” wedding reception?
In a “New York-style” reception, the entire wedding band performs as the doors open into the main reception ballroom for the dinner portion of the evening. The band plays soft background music while your guests eat and then kicks-up the beat for dancing between courses. With this type of reception, it is imperative that the caterer or hotel Banquet Manager give the wedding band leader specific ongoing directions, so that he knows which type of music to perform at exactly the right moment.For this type of reception to be successful, clear communication with the wedding band leader is essential.
