Getting a feel for your entertainment before hiring them for your event is the best way for you to ensure it’s success. You wouldn’t buy a car without taking it for a test drive first, and the same goes for committing to a band. The best way to check out an entertainer’s work is to see it with your own eyes. If you are interested in a particular group, go to a concert or an event they will be performing at. If this isn’t an option then investigate inquiring them to perform for you, or at least watch a video of them performing before you make a decision. Here are a few things you should be looking for when hiring a band.
What You Should be Doing
Make sure to double check the entertainments website to see what recent reviews have to say if possible. Testimonials are a great way to get an idea of how reputable entertainers have been in the past, which is why testimonials are so important as far as influencing a decision from you is concerned. It may be inevitable that some of your options won’t be a good fit for your event, and that’s okay! Get organized and communicate properly with your entertainment. You should discuss all situations that may need clarification before the event. For example, a wedding DJ may want to know during what times they should be prepared to get people to the dancefloor. Will there be dancing during dinner? After Dinner? These are the kinds of questions that should always be made clear to your performer before they perform.
How to be Smart About Cost
One of the first details you should discuss with your entertainment is pricing. If you are not already familiar with how much an event will cost through research, then is essential that you speak with your entertainment about pricing as soon as possible. With prices that can range anywhere from $2,000 to $35,000 depending on what you are looking for, it is also important to know what you are prepared to budget and to stick to that plan. If you have an agency helping you, ask them for their recommendations. Agencies often have experience of what you should be expecting to see.
What is the Best Type of Entertainment for You?
Choosing between a live band and a DJ can be difficult if you let it, but the process of choosing between the two can be quite simple if you have the knowledge. Consider what your event is for and who will be attending. No one will know your guests better than yourself, so ask yourself what they would enjoy the most. Think about which type of performance makes sense for your venue. If you still are unsure ask your agency for guidance and tell them what you are looking for in your entertainment.
If you don’t know where to begin, or you have no word of mouth as a reference hiring an entertainment agency is something to consider. Viewing your local agencies accommodations and contacting them will help you find the right entertainment you’re looking for.
