When you begin planning your wedding in the North East of England there are some things you should sort out right away. The most obvious one is to set the date. You are no doubt planning well ahead so try to pick a date that is not going to clash with other important dates in the calendar either personal or national. For instance it is best to avoid dates which are anniversaries of the death of a close family member; you do not want your future mother-in-law weeping at the altar for the wrong reasons! Also avoid major holidays like Easter or New Year as, although your prospective guests may not be working, they may well have other plans. Nowadays it's quite easy with the aid of Google etc. to check wherever your date date may clash with major sporting events like the Cup Final of the opening of the Olympics, if your fiance is a big rugby fan, check for major international matches.
The next job is to book those things which can only accept one book per day. The two most obvious of these are the venue for your reception and the entertainment for the evening. If you have your heart set on a particular venue, get it booked right away, particularly if you want the place to yourself. It's much nicer to be the only wedding party in a venue rather than be in a large hotel with 4 or 5 function rooms operating simultaniously.
If you are planning an evening party which most good venues want you to have and which have have a standard part of the wedding day, you'll need some entertainment. Whilst many seasons have their own DJ or ones that they recommend, many are not very entertaining and there is nothing more embarrassing than a newlywed couple staring at an empty dance floor while most of their guests have gone off to the bar. The best way to prevent that happening is to hire a good north east wedding band. They will entertain all of your guests young and old and get them dancing all night to a wide selection of music which spans the past 60 years of popular music.
When you start your search for your wedding band north east you need to have some points you are going to look for. The basic ones are:
1. Are they an established band or have they just started out? If they are well established and have been around a few years, the chances are that they will be able to cope with most situations that could arise. If they are new to the business their inexperience will show up on your wedding night.
2. Does their repertoire look like the kind of music you want to hear at your wedding or does it look like they are going to play music that only they want to hear. You need a band that will get all your guests on the dance floor and keep them there.
3. How much do they charge? Most good bands will not quote a set price on their website, because it will depend on several factors: date and venue being the main ones. Do bear in mind that playing for your wedding is usually the equivalent of a full day's work, so if you are employing professional musicians – and you should be – do not expect them to work for less than any other highly skilled worker would.
4. What will they wear? You do not really want your entertainment for your most special day to turn up in tee shirts and jeans do you?
5. Are they available for your date? This should really be the first thing to ask as; if they are not available you need discuss it no further.
6. Will they learn your 1st dance song for you or at the very least arrange to play a CD of it if they can not perform it live.
However daunting this all may sound, rest assured that it is well worth the effort to find a viable live band as it will make your evening celebrations just that, a celebration.
