Choosing your wedding entertainment can be quite a tricky task as there are so many different factors to consider. Luckily, help is at hand. In this blog, I will share some of my key thoughts and tips on how to book the perfect band for your wedding, in just 4 steps.

1. Keep your venue in mind
   
   
   When it comes to choosing the right music for your venue, it’s the most practical concern you need to think about – how big is your venue? Do they have live music? Do they have any noise restrictions?
   
   
   Speak to your venue contact and make sure there is adequate space for a band, with power sockets nearby. If possible, it’s better to have space for the band to get changed in and prepare for the show. When it comes to noise restrictions, there’s a new trend appearing in UK wedding venues, and that is the installation of Sound limiters. 
   
   
2. Come up with a budget
   
   
   
   
   It is a fairly easy step but do come up with a realistic figure for how much you would like to spend on entertainment. It may sound obvious, but your UK wedding band is not an area where you would cut your budget with. Great wedding music bands in UK can take your celebration to the next level and make your wedding a talking point among the guests for years to come.
   
   
   While you may come up with many inexperienced and cheap bands that can play at your wedding, professional and experienced band musicians are always going to be better equipped to deal with every situation that may pop up. Your value for money will always shine through their performance and the level of organization. 
   
   
   
   
3. Do your research
   
   
   Now comes the best part! It’s time to get creative and find yourself a wedding band that compliments your theme, practicalities, and budget. However, do remember, that you can inquire to the band without making any commitment. If you have any further questions, they will be glad to assist you.
   
   
   Firstly, do you prefer a more informal party atmosphere or want your wedding to be a formal, back-tie type event? Think about your music choice in that context. When you are done with a prospective band, take some time to listen to their audio samples, read their biography and testimonials, which is an excellent way to get the idea of where the band has performed before and what type of events they generally cater to.
   
   
4. Confirm the booking
   
   
   

   
   

   Once you have worked out with all the details, it is time to book the gig. Some bands will require you to sign a contract and pay the deposit and some also may provide booking forms for you to fill in. At this point, you need to have your payment terms worked out.
   
    Lastly, we would like to congratulate and wish you all the best for the big day!!
