When selecting a entertainment it is vital to look through the wedding bands repertoire to see that they could accommodate the tastes of your guests.
2. A live video or a demo can be a great way to try before you buy, so you can be certain that the covers band will be a big hit with your guests.
3.Always book early! A lot of entertainment can be booked up for over a year in advanced so try to book as early as possible to avoid disappointment. Most entertainment will ask for a 50% deposit to reserve your date.
4.Confirm the size of your venue! The size of your location will greatly factor into what size entertainment you can have. A 5 piece function band can generally fit in to a 3 x 4 meter area. providing enough space for both the covers band and your guests is very important.
5.Most venues will demand the entertainment to have public liability insurance and PAT tested equipment. Always confirm the wedding band can provide all the required documents to play. This is also a good indication of their quality.
6.Try to talk to the covers band in person or by phone rather than by email when booking. Good covers bands will always be happy to discuss your event at length and even recommend schedules for the entertainment.
