Timetable: start looking around at least a year in advance. The best musicians and entertainers will be booked up months in advance especially on a Saturday.
Testimonials: ask the agency or bandleader for some testimonials or if possible, go and see them perform live before you book them.
Timings: live musicians cannot play for hours on end, they will usually play 2 x 60 minute sets or 3 x 40 minute sets. Agree set up times and performance times in writing before the booking date and expect to pay a deposit to secure your chosen artistes.
The weather: think about the weather in advance and choose your artiste accordingly. A grand piano cannot be moved and your guests won't hear a note if they are outside enjoying the grounds and sunny weather. String ensembles and harps can be moved and you will get better value for your money if you can move them around after the ceremony.
The music: Talk to the agency or bandleader about your chosen music in advance and to take their advice. If they tell you Pachelbel's Canon won't work on the bagpipes, it won't!
Above all, choose the music you want. If you want a caricaturist - have one, if you want to have a barn dance, book a fabulous ceilidh band with a professional caller to help your guests learn the steps. It's YOUR BIG DAY..........make it memorable with the right music and entertainment.
