Wedding bands and live-music acts are judged in under thirty seconds of audio. If a couple has to hunt for a listen, they leave. A wedding band website is an audition page with a booking form attached — everything else is decoration.
The audition, done right
- One live video at the top. Real wedding, real crowd, no studio recording. Under 60 seconds, packed floor visible.
- A song list you can actually scan. Grouped by era and moment — cocktail, dinner, dance, last song.
- Lineup and pricing tiers. Four-piece, six-piece, plus horns. Give a starting price per configuration and the hours included.
- Logistics couples ask about. Space needed, power, setup time, breaks, sound for the ceremony, whether you MC.
Where the traffic comes from
- "Wedding band [city]" and "live wedding music [city]."
- Genre pages: soul and Motown, jazz trio, country, Latin, bilingual sets.
- Venue pages — "[venue] wedding band" — including the sound restrictions at that venue, which no competitor writes about.
- A "band vs. DJ" comparison page. It ranks, it gets linked, and it frames the decision in your favor honestly.
Host video on a fast CDN, not embedded auto-playing files. Music sites are the second-slowest category on the web after photography, and slow kills both rankings and inquiries.
