A Few Issues To Take Into Account Whenever Employing A Music Entertainer For Your Wedding Event

By Nelson Alter


Hiring a singer for your wedding ceremony can be a difficult experience. You're planning a once in a lifetime event and by definition this means you will not have any previous experience of the items you have to take into account when booking a wedding singer or live band. Here are a few useful issues you must take into account:

1. Problems of time will definitely include for how long you would like your entertainer to perform. Believe it or not there are clients who have asked me to sing for up to FIVE hours straight. Not just is this physically impossible, but guests are unlikely to like to listen to five hours of the similar singer.

2. Also contemplate how long a performer requires in order to set up and test out their own equipment. Think about whether or not the singer will have access to the venue early enough to set up.

3. If you are allowing time for the place to be changed, think about what exactly your daytime visitors could do meanwhile.

4. Think very carefully about the space in which you'll anticipate your entertainer to perform. Common issues in this regard involve being placed in a location away from an electric point, having little space or having to share too small a space with other singers or the DJ.

5. On the same theme, will you like your singer to setup outside? If that's the case you should inform them first. Lots of performers won't have suitable equipment for use outside. Sound re-enforcement should be much stronger outdoors, plus the whole issue of electrical power gets much more difficult.

6. You'll also should consider what access to the venue is like. The performer will need to get big equipment in and outside the place, so there are a whole host of items to be considered.

7. Finally, there are legal things to consider. Does the place have the appropriate licenses for live music? Does your performer have got appropriate public liability insurance? This insurance covers them if for instance they cause an injury to somebody or they do something that ruins your own event and you decide to prosecute them.

I really do hope the above mentioned helps you in the planning of the entertainment at your wedding ceremony. And whatever wedding singer you want - good luck for your big event!
