Planning a party or a corporate event can be challenging, especially if are organising a big event for the first time. As a result, if you want things to go smoothly, you must book in advance. That being said, before you make a booking, you should consider what style of live entertainment would be most suited to your event.
At Find It Entertainments, we offer a wide range of live entertainment and want to help you make your party unique and unforgettable.
Here are some tips that you may consider useful when booking live entertainment for your event.
1. Choose Live Entertainment That Matches the Theme of Your Event
When choosing live entertainment, make sure that it matches the theme and the atmosphere of your event. For instance, a live pop band isn't going to be the best choice if you're throwing a 1960s-themed party. Only a genuine jazz band will suffice. Likewise, if you want to amaze and excite your guests, a magician will be a good choice. Singing waiters might be a lot of fun mixing with wedding guests but may be inappropriate for a corporate event.
2. Plan the Event in Detail
If you want to hire live entertainment, you must first figure out the practicalities. If you book a venue, there may be a crew on-site to handle the majority of your needs. Remember to think about the demands of the live performance as well. They don't emerge on stage by magically appearing out of thin air. They will need some room and time to set up and sound check. They will also require a well-planned schedule, so that they can plan their performance in advance.
Some venues place certain restrictions on volume levels, which in certain circumstances stop the band's sound if a pre-set volume threshold is exceeded. As you would imagine, nothing interrupts a party more effectively than abrupt stillness! If you have planned for a live band to perform at your event, you will be quite dissatisfied if they are unable to perform to their full capacity owing to a sound limitation. When asking about a band, make sure you verify with your venue to see if they use a sound restriction policy and provide information to us.
3. Plan the Playlist in Advance
Live bands can contact you before the event to review the song list. Typically, they will ask which songs you detest and which music you would want to hear during the party. You need to give them an idea of your favourite musical genres and styles. Now, with your help, the performers will construct a comprehensive playlist list for the event, consisting of songs from their catalogue. However, if the Band have a set playlist make sure this caters to your needs.
4. Read the Band’s Profile Before Booking
When hiring a live band, carefully read all of the information and feedback about the performers. The band's biography might provide information about what they provide and their stage history. It outlines the genres of music performed by the band, the equipment they use, and the musical instruments they play. You should also take a closer look at their current repertoire and enquire if they can make any adjustments to their playlist upon request.
Experts at Find It Entertainments will help you choose the band that matches the atmosphere of your event and carry out all the necessary preparations, including checking the band’s schedule, and arranging their performance.
