"Sometimes the best wedding music isn&amp;#39;t really &amp;quot;wedding&amp;quot; music at all. Two of the most fantabulous wedding bands I&amp;#39;ve heard in recent years didn&amp;#39;t start out as wedding bands.\nPinterestFacebookMy friends Hollie and Will wanted a cover band for their wedding. They didn&amp;#39;t care about the frou-frou music, they just wanted a band that totally kicked ass. And they found one! Peat Moss and the Fertilizers plays in bars and is billed as &amp;quot;Long Island&amp;#39;s No. 1 Cover Band&amp;quot;&amp;#8212;and OMG, were they awesome.\nMy friend Tatum loved, loved, loved the Tim Smith Band when she was a student at the University of North Carolina. So when she decided to get married around the corner from her alma mater, she already had a &amp;quot;wedding&amp;quot; band in mind. Again, totally kick ass.\nIf you&amp;#39;re hiring a band and don&amp;#39;t like what you&amp;#39;re hearing from &amp;quot;wedding&amp;quot; bands, don&amp;#39;t be afraid look elsewhere. It&amp;#39;s good for the band to have some weddings experience&amp;#8212;they need to know how to read the crowd and play a slow song or two. But if they play more bars than bar mitzvahs, I say that&amp;#39;s a good thing!\nWhat non-wedding band would you hire for your wedding if money were no object? Would you choose someone local or go straight for the big guns, like, say, The Black Eyed Peas?\nMore on wedding music:\n\n Would You Surprise Your Guests With a First Dance Performance?\n\n\nWhat Song Always Makes You Hit the Wedding Dance Floor?\n\n\n[Using an iPod Mix at Your Reception?
