You know you want a live band, but which one do you choose?! Your Entertainment Representative will walk you through all of your options, but here are the questions you should be prepared to answer:
- What is the venue and date of your event?
- How old are you and your fiance?
- What is the age range of the guests?
- How many guests are you anticipating?
- Is there a price range you have in mind for the entertainment?
- What type of music do you like/not like, and what do you think your guests would like?
- Think about the entertainment at the weddings that you’ve enjoyed attending – What stood out about them?
Based on your answers and availability, your options will be narrowed down to a handful of bands… now it’s time to watch them perform!
