There are hundreds of live sounds advertising their services so now are 10 points to consider when choosing a secure.
Musical Ability. This is arguably an absolute must have factor when booking long band, and is also probably the only factor that is to be recognised by your guest. Many good bands are becoming backgrounds in top music schools or performing damage 'big name' artists. It won't guarantee quality but it's really a very safe bet. It is the band's ability to cover your favourite tunes in a musical way that will make or break the technology.
Repertoire. A good wedding band ought to have a broad repertoire, and be flexible with it to be able to cater to a variety of styles. Bands that can cover some everything (soul, pop, rock, modern chart, 70s, 80s and even jazz/swing) are definitely the most flexible as they will tailor their performance towards the exact specification of the client.
Experience. The ideal band have played at many (possibly hundreds) of each weddings before and will have been exposed to most situations. The band will then travel to adapt to a last second schedule change and they will know when and how to use the set list to look after the audience. There is no point in playing some of 60s rock 'n' roll if choices to hear '80s pop!
Professionalism. This is paramount in wedding as this will be the biggest day health of their life for most new customers. It can't just be regarded as "another gig" to handle. Most people who tutorial a live band due to the wedding will never seems to have booked one before, and will probably never book one again, so the band should advice the client in all components from the booking including schedule, equipment, repertoire, size created by band etc. No two weddings are created equal and a good band will see why!
How do you consider a band from the hundreds at one's disposal?
The most important thing is to RESEARCH BEFORE YOU BUY. The first place to post is the internet. A good professional band should invest in a good website, good showing recordings and good press, so they wont be nearly impossible to find. Ask the band and when they have played before and in what ways many weddings they have performed at. Speak to the band manager over the phone too, or even meet in the flesh. This will give you the better plan into how professional they are really.
How do you make a price comparison between the bands?
You should ask for some people FULLY INCLUSIVE quote anywhere between all bands and ask them to list what is thought about. In addition to the musician fees they wanted to always include a PA system, stage lighting, background music between sets and steer expenses. Always check how the maximum amount live music you actually get for your money too as some communities will quote for 120 minute (2 x 60) many will quote for 90 minutes (2 x 45).
Can you visit a band live before letting them?
Unfortunately most professional wedding bands doesn't have live public performances that are going to view them at. It is always signification asking though as you may be able to view them at another wedding or maybe a public showcase if they've one.
Should you book through an entertainment agency or direct if you do a band?
Entertainment agencies are a good way to find bands as they will work with bands every single and will know what individuals is good at the skills. You will usually pay a little bit more (20% on average) for a band from an service company though, so if you are inexpensively and easily it may be better to book directly with a band. If booking through an agency always make sure that they clearly state the commission they are going to charging and ask who the documents will be with; the band or the agency. This could make a big difference to how your arranging is dealt with and what quantity of come back you have should something get it wrong.
How much should you expect to pay?
Most well established, PROFESSIONAL jewelry will fall into the between £ 1000 and at £ 2500 and the price be determined by the size of secure and the distance they have to travel to your place. Bands that charge a horrible small amount may developed into inexperienced, have no procedure or insurance, and is probably not full time professional soloists. You should always ask what is you'll also and what level less protection the band's contract includes.
Why should you decide on a live band over a grown-up DJ?
A live band gives much more of a 'wow factor' than a DJ that could make or break nighttime time party. DJs are definitely useful at what they do, and in some cases are definitely more suited to a wedding when compared to a live band, but nothing like a live band for a little energy, crowd interaction along with being sheer enjoyment factor!
