FAQ |
What types of music do you perform?
We have a very extensive
Song List,
ranging from the 50's , 60's, Motown, Rock 'n' Roll, R&B, to
contemporary and current top 40. We also perform a wide variety of jazz
standards and special occasion music for all types of events. Everyone's reception/event is different, and so are the musical tastes of the
guests. We do not restrict ourselves to the same set play list night after
night. We choose all our selections on stage, depending upon what the guests
respond to best. We mix ballads, medium tempo and up tempo songs at the
appropriate moments to ensure dancing from the start to finish.
How long does the performance run? The Ken Battista Band usually contracts for
200 minutes playing time during a
four-hour period. Normally, the band will play three long sets, with two breaks
dividing the sets. The actual length of the sets will often depend upon the
caterer's serving schedule. For example, the first break is usually taken during
the main course, and the second break is usually taken during dessert. However,
our sets and breaks can be adjusted according to your needs.
Is there music during the breaks? Yes! We always provide cd music during the breaks
to keep the party going.
Will you help with the introductions? Yes, we will MC as much, or as little, of your
reception as you like. Most couples like us to begin the reception with a couple
of low-key jazz standards, while inviting people to be seated. Meanwhile, either
the band leader or the Maitre de will line up the family and bridal party for
their arrival, and then make the appropriate announcements. We will perform the
first dance, and then invite the appropriate person up to the microphone to
offer the blessing, if applicable, and toasts. We will then officially open the
dance floor. We can also MC traditional festivities, such as
the cake cutting and the bouquet/garter toss.
A few other helpful hints or suggestions for
your event To create the right atmosphere, be sure to talk to the host/hostess about
dimming the room lights after the dinner service has been completed. This helps
to set the mood for dancing.
Finally, once you've finished your planning, relax and enjoy your wedding day!
With the Ken Battista Band, you can be assured that your entertainment will be
the best it can be!
