How to book a band
Looking to book a
band or a singer for your wedding or event?
Here are a few tips that will help you make your
decision.
·
Decide on the genre of music that will suit your
guests and clients.
·
Your budget a solo artist will cost a lot less
than if you hire a band.
·
Check out the artist’s videos, mp3 and reviews
on their page.
·
Check the artist’s availability and price and
how long they perform for. Also if they provide a dj set in between their live
sets.
·
Make sure they have insurance in place and
provide their own equipment, pa and lighting.
·
When you have decided on your venue check to see
if they have a sound limiter in place as this may prevent a band from performing
and you may have to choose an acoustic
artist.
·
Is there any free parking in place?
·
All bands and artists will ask for a supply of
soft drinks and possibly food depending on the length of the event.
·
Once you have chosen your artist you will have
to pay a deposit to secure the booking and then everything will be contracted.
·
It is always a good idea to book early so you
are not too disappointed if the artist or band is already booked on your date.
·
Finally, if you are booking a band or artist for
a wedding you can pick your song for the first dance.
