Weddings can be a nerve-racking experience. From the planning stages which involve finding a venue, to selecting a cake and then the all-important question on who to invite, there are a lot of decisions to make. Since a wedding is supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime event, the families involved want everything perfect. A huge part of the wedding reception is the music. While some opt for a DJ or taped music, many want a full band to get everyone up and dancing the night away. Some of the best wedding bands around call Atlanta home. Here are some standout picks.
