Dance All Night at Your Wedding with Narrow Gauge, Colorado’s Premier Party Band
We know a thing or two about Colorado wedding receptions! We have worked with over 400 brides in 10 years, helping each one pull off an amazing wedding reception. In that time we have learned the secret of how to pack a dance floor: Play GREAT music that everyone knows and likes.
You may find this very hard to believe: there will be a lot of people attending your reception that don’t like the same music as you. If you tell the band to only play the kind of music you like, the dance floor will be empty and your guests WILL leave early. Nobody wants that.
I’m the one in the band who works very closely with the bride to help design the reception, especially the dancing part. We have one piece of advice we give ALL our brides:
Tell us the songs you like and don’t like. Give us permission to read the dance floor and make changes we think we need to get your guests on the dance floor and keep them there.
Over the years, 95% of the brides we have worked with followed this advice. The result? A fantastic time by all. The reason? Narrow Gauge puts together our play list based upon several factors: the clients input and our experience. During our actual performance, we use it as a guide. If it’s working we keep it going and if the dance floor is not as packed as it should be, we change it up. It ALWAYS works. We are very good at finding out what any group of people want to dance to on any given night.
Surprisingly, not every bride accepts our advice. A handful of time in the past 10+ years we have worked with brides who insisted that we only play the songs they want, regardless of what their guest may want. It has been a disaster every single time.
The Bride that Ruined Her Wedding Reception
“It’s my wedding and I don’t want any other style of music except country.”
Like every bride, she was so excited about the wedding. She knew we had a great reputation as a dance band and she couldn’t wait to celebrate with her family and friends. I encouraged her to give us the freedom to read the dance floor and play what the crowd wanted to dance to, just in case they were not all into county.
She insisted.
We did exactly what she wanted.
Very few people danced during our first 45 minute set. Continue reading →

You’ve set the date, and now you have to choose the vendors who will make or break your wedding day. One of the hardest choices you face is what kind of reception entertainment your going to have. It is an age old question: DJ or Live Band?

When we go on break, we have DJ music that you have helped put together. So you get the best of best worlds: Live music AND a DJ. All for about the same cost as a good DJ.
