When choosing a bandto play at your wedding you need to be sure you are booking the best you canget who can entertain all your guests and do so within your budget. Here are afew questions you should consider asking any function band you are thinking of booking. How many members doesthe band have? This will be a big factor in the price you have to pay. If youhave a large venue a big band or a soul band with full brass section andbacking singers would be great but can easily cost upwards of £2000. Rememberthat for a professional standard band you can expect to pay around £175 to £200per musician when you include the cost of travelling,equipment hire etc. It'salso worth asking what instruments are in the lineup, especially if you have astrong like or dislike of any particular instrument. How many of them sing andplay. A four piece band where one member plays and sings lead vocals will soundas big as a five piece with a separate singer. How long have theybeen together as a group, with their current personnel? Watch out for bandsthat change personnel often. Groups that have just been formed pose thepotential for problems if the group breaks up. This isn't to say thatestablished bands don't break up, but over half of all bands formed break upbefore their first anniversary. The longer they have been together, the morelikely they will be to remain together until your wedding date. Does the band have aset lineup, or do they use substitutes (deps) on a regular basis? Beware ofbands that are put together afresh for each gig, where the only regular memberis the "pad" of music that they work from. They may perform the musicwell enough but how will it affect the flow of dancing when half the band havenever worked together before? What are theirdeposit and payment requirements and do they secure your booking with acontract? What does the contract specify? Are they willing to make additions tothe contract to meet any special needs you may have? Do they have lots of silly"riders" on the contract? It's perfectly acceptable for a band toexpect to be fed during a gig as they are often away from home for at least 8hours and many venues do not supply food other than that which is specified bythe client. Do they need a separate room to change which you may have to bookat extra cost to you, or could they just change in the loo? How many songs intheir repertoire? What styles of music do they play? Can they vary the style ofmusic to suit the age of the guests? If you want a jazzband to play background music - hire a true jazz band, not a rock band thatwill struggle to play in the background. How many hours dothey charge for and does the fee vary depending on the amount of playing timeor the time they spend at the venue? Are there any other charges - V.A.T.petrol, food, above and beyond the quoted price? Could they, would they doextra sets and how much will they charge for them? How will they dress?You don't want a band turning up in tee shirts and jeans for a black tiewedding. Do they accept morethan one booking per day? What if their first booking overruns and they arelate arriving for yours? Will they give you a refund? These are just someof the important things to consider when hiring a live band for your big day.More to follow in part 2.
