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 light recorded back ground musi

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 service really beg

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

Just awesome!! posted 9/22/2014 via The Knot The Funktion came recommended to us by one of our bridesmaid's sisters. She had nothing but great things to say about her own experience with them. We agree! From the start organization and p ackage detail was helpful in deciding what we needed for the night of our wedding. Ken was our band leader the night of and we just had the best time. He kept the night moving but never made us feel like we were being rushed from one thing to another. Additionally, they learned a few Phish songs which the band played during our dinner (my husband's favorite band). This helped add just a little personal touch to our celebration. We received SO many compliments on the band! Just The Best!! Tiffany and Keith Funktion Band - Exceptionally Hot www.theknot.com Funktion is The versatile thoroughbred of Bands.

Ok, we now have performed at probably 300 weddings in the last 4 years. Its an amazing accomplishment and certainly a testament to quality driven live live music. What I ask every client is this: What do you really want on your big day? Answer: For my guests and I to have a great party and everyone to dance and enjoy themselves. My response: Us as well. This is a universal response that may seem at first over simplified, but think about it. Your event, wedding, gathering of family and friends is first and foremost a celebration!!. Period. All the prior work of planning is done... So then, this leads me to ask my next question .... What separates a great celebration from an ok one? Answer: Usually "dancing, fun, laughing, relaxed, comfortable, great atmosphere, energy" My response: Yes all correct, there only 3 ingredients to a great celebration 1. You 2. The company you bring 3. The Energy of the Entertainment  If you took away: favors, cakes, fancy limo, p
