Band Live - Wedding Success!
As far as musical entertainment at weddings is concerned a live wedding band is really quite hard to beat and should definitely be considered as an option.
As a member of a band this may as yet be an unexplored avenue, but it's definitely one you should give some consideration to.
Its an ideal avenue of income for the band and your performance will give the happy couple a day to remember for the rest of their lives.
Good communication is always key in circumstances like a wedding as the couple will probably have some songs they would like to request. Particularly the first dance, so try to be as accommodating as possible and be willing to learn a couple of new songs if necessary.
As far as building up a reputation is concerned, many leads may come as a result of a good performance so its advisable to have an information pack put together about the band for potential clients to refer to.
Getting these wedding gigs is no easy task. Sign your band up with a local agent, they can be found online or in the yellow pages. Create your own website or social networking page. On your page you should have some demo songs or videos, testimonials, a list of up and coming gigs and a point of contact.
Remember to include the cost of the whole deal when putting together a fee for your appearance. A band performing at a wedding can usually double the fee they would normally receive for a pub gig due to the extra preparations needed and the length of time on stage.
Once the bookings start coming in you will need to keep on top of your diary entries. Wedding bookings are often made months ahead of the wedding itself so by maintaining an up to date diary of gigs, you are less likely to double book. Prior to agreeing a gig, you need to know about the parking facilities at the venue and how easy setting up and packing away your somewhat heavy equipment is going to be. You will also need to check on the size of the stage to ensure there is enough space to accommodate the band and its gear.
Small details which sometimes get overlooked can cause chaos on the day. Making sure the venue has a live music license and enough power outlets for the musical instruments are the essentials needed for whole event to be a complete success. - 23806
