Some Do's and Dont's

There are many things to check out before you even start to consider booking any form of entertainment. We've gathered together some general advice for when booking a band/DJ for your evening reception:

• Do check with your venue if any restrictions are in place, these include; the venue's entertainment licence and any noise or other restrictions that are part of that licence, and the size and layout of the room compared to the space required by the type of artist or band you're thinking of booking.
• Do allow adequate time for the band or act to set up. On average a quality band will require at least an hour. As it is common for the afternoon wedding breakfast to take place in the same room as the evening reception, don't forget to allow additional time to move tables and chairs if necessary. It is well worth bearing this in mind as it may affect the type or size of act that you book.
• Don't start the party entertainment too early. Many couples think that the evening party should kick straight off with dancing to the band at 7pm all the way through to 12.00am. However, evening guests arrive and want to catch up with family members or friends, and generally people are relaxing for the first time during the day. It is often better to allow people to have a few drinks and relax with some sensible volume disco music playing, and save the band until everyone is ready for a good boogie (and maybe have had a few glasses of wine!).
• Don't arrange for the band to play while the evening buffet is served. People are concentrating on the food and the band becomes a loud distraction. It's always best to designate 45-60 minutes for food from serving, it is wise to arrange for the buffet to be served as early as possible, a buffet served too late is a great way to slow a party right down, especially if you've just got things going and have to finish an hour or so later.

In general, a good band or DJ will be able to adapt to the evening as it unfolds as a wedding rarely (if ever?) runs to time!
