The right music and entertainment can provide the perfect background to any Tyne and Wear wedding. Adding music in whatever form can add a personal touch to you event and an extra touch of enjoyment to your guests’ day.
When hiring a wedding band, there are a number of factors to consider. Firstly, you should think about the age range of the guests attending your event. Most weddings have guests of all ages, so it would be a good idea to hire a band that plays a broad selection of songs, from old favourites to contemporary tracks. It would be a good idea to see the band perform before you book them, to make sure that they will suit your event.
For those on a tight budget, a DJ is an excellent option. Disc jockeys will usually play a broad selection of songs, and will know how to get everyone dancing and enjoying the party. Most DJs will be happy to discuss their set with you beforehand to ensure that they play the right songs for your event.
Classical musicians such as pianists, harpists and string quartets are becoming more a more popular as wedding entertainment. These musicians can add a touch of class to a wedding. There are also many classically trained singers who will perform at wedding receptions.
One important factor that needs to be considered is that some venues won't have an entertainment licence, which means that you won't be able to have live entertainment. If you hire a band, they might need a lot of space to store and set up all of their equipment, so check that the venue has enough electrical outputs for the equipment. They will also need time to set up their equipment.
Most soloists and quartets will charge by the hour for their services, while bands will charge for a set list of music. It is unlikely that any band will play for any more that three hours.
Stand-up comedians and magicians are also popular options for wedding receptions. Magicians will be able to entertain guests which various tricks and illusions, and comedians will keep the party atmosphere alive. As with musical entertainment, it is a good idea to discuss your needs with the talent before booking them.
Whatever kind of entertainment you are looking for, there is sure to be someone in Tyne and Wear who could make your special day a happy one.
