THE FUNKTION WEDDING AND DANCE BAND NJ

The Funktion Band Live in Jersey City! This Incredible ensemble is comprised of some amazing individuals,. Often times we tell you where we are performing, but you may not know who we are so we felt it would be wonderful for you to have a brief intro to know some of our key wonderful people and players.  Individually-incredible Together-Exceptional  KLN Entertainments' The Funktion Band A spicy blend of the hits of today and yesterday with an explosive energy and edge not so common...refreshing and fun.

The Funktion Hi Ken, It has been a blissful whirlwind of a few weeks, but we are finally back to reality and catching up on life, emails, etc. We want to thank you and everyone else in The Funktion for truly making our wedding PHENOMENAL. You surpassed all of our expectations!! Starting with your rendition of U2's "All I Want is You" for our first dance, which Ross and I continue to talk about because it was (I can't believe I'm saying this...) BETTER tha n the original, you continued to nail every song throughout the night. Other highlights were Sledgehammer, I Wanna Dance with Somebody , and of course, Shut Up and Dance. Honestly, every song was fabulous, and the entire band had an energetic, fun-filled, entertaining presence. There was never a dull moment, and the dance floor was packed all night. We are still hearing comments from guests about how awesome you were, and many have asked for your contact info for their future events. Ken, we can't thank you...

Wedding Day Timeline:  1. Order vs. Time:   When we are constructing a wedding day timeline for a client the order is more important than the exact time.  While it’s helpful to map out time blocks, picking an exact time will only set you up for failure.  For example: 7:25pm-First Dance, 7:28 Father/Daughter Dance is way too specific.  While the song you selected for your first dance may be 3 minutes and 30 seconds this scenario leaves no time for the band to interact with you and set up a meaningful introduction for your father/daughter dance.  And chances are, some things will take longer than anticipated and others a little shorter.  Instead, identify the order that works best for you and your fiancé and trust your vendors to implement it!  A little Flexibility and Trust are key. 2. Ask For Feedback:  Once you have a good idea of the flow you and your partner envision for the day, it’s a great idea to reach out to your vendors ...

Tips to planning a fun wedding reception | Wedding Planning Ideas ADD A LOUNGE AREA TO YOUR RECEPTION If at all possible, create a lounge-like area in your reception space. Why? People can get antsy. Instead of having your guests sit around the same dinner tables all night, a change of environment will promote conversation and keep even your nondancing guests entertained. Look into renting or borrowing couches, chairs, and other pieces of furniture that you can then stage with pillows and votive candles in your wedding colors. A lounge area also gives people the opportunity to ham it up in pictures! Also, tell your guests about a late night treat or events. Nothing stops a party in its tracks faster than guests heading for the door early. Take out an insurance policy against a skimpy crowd and plan a treat for the end of the night that people will look forward to: You and your new spouse can perform a song with the band for the last dance, or you can plan a reception getaway tha...

CONTINUOUS MUSIC OR NO CONTINUOUS MUSIC NJ WEDDING Continuous Music or No Continuous Music Many companies will use continuous live music as a selling point. This is already built into the pricing.  We are a bit uncertain of the actual value of that extra 20-25 minutes when, with some proper planning- its not necessary.  It is your choice of course. However we believe a break is good for the musicians as well as dynamically for your guests. Generally, your affair is 5 hours in length beginning with cocktails followed by a 4 hour reception. Most often the keyboardist is playing the cocktail hour.  In about 30% of our wedding events, the keyboardist/guitarist is playing the ceremony as well.  Thats about 6 hours. What we feel – at meal time is give our fingers and your guests’ ears a short break and put on some pre recorded music you may love but the band may not get to.  Its also a very short dynamic change after several hours to  chat with some li...

OK- We have been there and have seen it all. More small tips for a great reception or party DON’T:  Call for group photos when the dance floor is packed: When your photographer decides to take group shots when the dance floor is rockin’, either 1/2 the dance floor goes outside to take the picture, or the bandleader has to clear the dance floor to do these shots. This kills the momentum of the party. DO:  Try having the photographer do group shots during background music time. The bandleader will be happy to coordinate this with your photographer. DON’T:   No dance music during the meal: Quite often, the caterer or venue asks the band to stop the dancing and get everyone seated for dinner, and then does not bring out food for 10 or 15 minutes. We know the importance of having everyone seated to enjoy the main course while it is hot. However, we are  very skilled at taking the cue from watching the servers, and will automatically slow the music down once...

Newlyweds sent us this from their honeymoon and also gave us one of the best testimonies ever on the Knot!!  Many thanks!! The Funktion was absolutely a delight to work with! From the first call to the call a week after my wedding- just spectacular. We chose them because they have an amazing sound and their price was almost half of the rest...and to Justin and I sounded so much better!!! Ken's process for getting to know you, whats important to you for your wedding and what kind of music you want is impeccable. So after a great experience leading up to the wedding, our expectations were HIGH - very high! which we felt was impossible to match..And they exceeded them tenfold. Love them love them love them..if you need a great band- call The Funktion.  Christine and Justin Visit us on twitter:  @Funktionbandnj
