Planning on getting married this year? Then you will have already realised just how much work the big day involves and should make yourself a check-list ticking off items as they are completed. The entertainment for you and your guests is particularly important as you want everyone to have a good time, here are just a few pointers to assist you in making your wedding day one that will go smoothly without any unforseen hitches.
Booking a professional wedding band or wedding singer is quite simple to arrange as they should have a long list of songs and tunes they can play, if there's something particular you want then don't be afraid to ask as they will be only too happy to play whatever you wish – after all, it is all about you!
Some venues will have restrictions as to the type of entertainment they are allowed to have on the premises as they require certain licenses, etc. so ensure you inform them of your plans as you don't want any problems on the day. A dancing floor, space and the level of sound allowed could prevent things from going as planned, experienced bands will have experience and know the right questions to ask, so don't worry too much.
Arrange the schedule so the act has enough time before and after they play for setting up any equipment they require as the last thing you want is them carrying out a sound check whilst your guests are sitting down to eat or your best man is trying to give his speech! If you have booked a reputable band or singer and an established venue they should take over all the planning and liaise between them so you needn't concern yourself too much with the details.
Always get written confirmation of the total cost of the act you are booking and check what is included in the price so you don't get an unexpected bill at the end of the day, the quote should take into account any travel expenses and waiting around time, and the PA system and other relevant equipment.
Take the time to sit down with the singer and compile your wedding music list so it includes your favourites, after all only you know what your guests will like - the music act doesn't know anything about your tastes. An established singer will have thousands of tracks to choose from so you can tailor it to fit in with your tastes and make requests. It's traditional for the band to play the newly-weds first dance so co-ordinate with them as to what this will be so they have time beforehand to practise.
Live bands are ideal for wedding days as they offer entertainment for people of all ages to enjoy, or they can provide the background scene by creating an enjoyable atmosphere where the guests can relax and get to know each other and chat. Live bands should be relatively well-known, even if only locally, as reliable and good performers, check out their website or face book link for examples of song lists and listen to music and view videos to give you an idea of their musical style. Whether you like pop, rock, swing, disco, rap, soul, or love songs you are sure to come up with a few options that will keep you and your guests happy.
Search for wedding entertainment Cheshire, or other locations around the UK online where it's easy and convenient to book. There are plenty of experienced singers who can play the latest hits or golden-oldies depending on your preference. It's best to have a varied selection in your music list as your guests themselves will have a diverse range of tastes and ages will vary greatly.
Read through the testimonials on wedding singers websites to see how previous customers rate them and there should also be a list of venues they have played at recently. If you are interested in a particular singer then send them an enquiry via their website to check their availability and get a quote.
