Big one for me is musicians forgetting the job isn’t just to perform. It’s to lead the room. Weddings are like little emotional ecosystems. Timing, pacing, energy, restraint… all matter just as much as chops. And we have the opportunity to glue all that together, or watch it crumble. You can play a song perfectly and still lose the room. Pacing is so key. I know a lot of bands that just blast the room with monster energy, sound, and 170bpm the minute the doors open. I believe mastery lies in restraint, and knowing what goes where it's like that kid's game with the shapes and holes. Sure you could squeeze the square piece through the triangle with enough force. But that's not really the point of it. And agreed on sound. Luxury clients may not know audio technically, but they absolutely feel the difference between immersive and overwhelming. My motto is play to the floor. Mix so that the floor can FEEL it, and the perimeter of the room can hear it. A lot goes in to how it's played, as well. A sound team is only capable of doing so much if you're not performing appropriately for the room.
