Arranging a wedding is no small feat and the entertainment you provide for your guests can help ensure yours is one of the most memorable. Don't leave the entertainment to the last minute!
Book your wedding entertainment as soon as possible. The most popular wedding bands are often booked up over a year in advance, so to ensure you have a wide selection of acts, book early!
Avoid bands that are having a laugh - Book a band with wedding experience - we only play weddings, so you can rest assured when booking us that we'll deliver a top night's entertainment!
When booking your wedding entertainment, think about who'll be attending and whether your chosen act appeals to as broad a range of your guests as possible, from youngsters to the young at heart!
Book your music entertainment early to avoid disappointment.
Check with your venue whether they have any constraints on live entertainment. It's up to you to let your band know if there is limited space or restrictions on the volume of live music.
Gentle and relaxing music is great for your ceremony
It's good idea to see your wedding band live before you book. Come along to our free live showcase, it's a social event - have a meal and drink with freinds and family while you check out our style.
Take your time walking down the aisle! This is your big moment – everyone wants to catch a glimpse of your dress – so although the adrenaline will be taking over, don't rush and enjoy the moment!
Early in your wedding planning begin to list your favourite music to be included on your special day.
Music should move you - what makes you feel emotional?
Signing of the register can take 5 or even 10 minutes (several people need to sign the document, then your photographer will want to take some shots) so choose two songs to be played at this point.
