Border Lines

Organising your marriage ceremony is one of the most significan and happiest of your life. That joy can quickly turn into stress and disappointment if you don’t know wherever to look for quality performers or how to negotiate a fair contract. Here are some tips on how to find and hire wedding entertainers and ensure their terms are agreeable to both parties.

Ask friends and family for references , and remember the weddings you’ve been to in the past. What stood out about the performers? Was there any in particular you genuinely enjoyed, or any you really hated ? Can your friends recommend a great band, DJ, hula dancers, fire performers , conjurers  or whatever else for you’re searching?

Remember, the sky is the limit. Your event should put forward the personalities of you and your partner. There is no need to stick with a harpist and a four-piece standard wedding band if that isn’t your style. There are many many types of wedding entertainers for hire out there so don’t settle for anything you don’t really want!

Have a long chat with the wedding performers you are thinking about. Come with a list of queries and don’t leave until they are all answered . Ask specifically about costings and what is included, especially the amount of time they will be there and any breaks. Double check who exactly will be performing at your wedding – you don’t want a completely different lead singer showing up than the one you auditioned. Ask about experience, including how many weddings this entertainer has done, equipment and any essential site requirements for it, what emergency stand-in plan would be put in place for your event, what kind and how much liability insurance the wedding entertainment vendor has, if they belong to any professional or trade groups and how they will be dressed. Make sure you have got a list of references and call them.

Discuss price. If there is a wedding entertainer that really like  but can’t afford, talk about it. Some suppliers will offer you alternative services at a better price – fewer musicians perhaps , or a shorter performance. Get estimates from three different but similar vendors to compare costs and services .

Once you have decided which wedding entertainment professionals to hire, you must negotiate a contract. Do not hire any vendor for your wedding without a contract, and do not let any money change hands until the contract is signed. This document should include all the information listed in the above paragraph from the questions you asked at the initial consultation, as well as payment terms, deposit and cancellation policies, the specific date, time and localization of your event, how long they will perform, how many breaks they can take and for how long, and any other details you feel are important.

Once the contract is signed, communicate with your wedding entertainment vendor often. If you are dealing with musicians or a DJ, provide them with a list of any songs that you absolutely do or do not want played. Advise them of all the major players in your wedding like the parents of the bride and groom, best man and maid or matron of honor, grandparents and anyone else you would like to be honored. If Great Aunt Edna is allergic to rabbits, warn the magician to stay away from her.

Choosing reputable, fun wedding entertainers, allows you to do what you’re meant to at your wedding: enjoy the day!
