The festive season is such a romantic time of year. Long dark nights by the fire, quality time with loved ones and many couples may have even been lucky enough to find an engagement ring among their present this year and started their own wedding planning journey together into 2019.
Our year so far in the office has seen us receive hundreds of enquiries as all the newly engaged couples begin their hunt for the perfect wedding entertainment. However, wedding planning is no easy feat and with all of the details to plan from catering to flowers, cars and dresses, it’s very easy to get lost in a sea of post-it notes, scribbles and internet tabs!
The same goes for your live music. You can find yourself torn between several bands or watching dozens of promotional videos but sometimes there’s just no substitute for seeing a band live in the flesh to help you decide what’s best for your wedding party.
Our Battle of the Wedding Bands events are a chance for prospective engaged couples to watch a showcase of the best wedding bands in the North-East on one stage ‘battling’ for the chance to play at their wedding. All the acts are hand-picked and offer a variety of styles for you to choose from.
Our last event was a bespoke showcase for five BRAND NEW wedding bands who had all recently formed and joined the AMV family. Now for February and March, we’re pulling out all the stops and getting our biggest, most talented and in-demand bands together.
The first of our two events is being held on Thursday 21st February at As You Like It in Jesmond and the Eventbrite link is now live and you can register for FREE tickets by clicking here.
Tickets to this event are free, discounted cocktails are available and there will be bands performing from 7.30pm throughout the whole evening giving you a unique opportunity for you to pick the perfect band to make your special day an experience you’ll never forget.
You can see the bands appearing on our February lineup below and visit their AMV page to watch their videos and get a taste of what we have in store
