Book Early

Remember that the best go fast. Quality service providers are in high demand and need to be secured as soon as you set your date. You can always fill in the details as you get closer to your wedding day, if needed.

Solid Planning

Remember three keys to successful planning:

Ask questions

Never be afraid to ask too many questions or to ask about services offered. Be sure what comes with your package. Check what other services or features may be available.

Give/get details

Be sure to get/give all details. Be specific about what you expect - the music content, sound system and lighting effects, room layout, electrical and space requirements, and schedule of events.

Write it all down

That way everyone will know what is expected of them. Never assume anything. Be sure of song titles and artist. Be specific with music likes and dislikes. Be sure names for introductions are pronounced properly. Include any special events or activities.

Best Value

Cheap is never good, but most expensive may not be your best value. There are too many desperate beginners and hobbyists who will (if they show up at all) perform for very little money. They all lack the experience, music library and equipment necessary to provide you with the quality reception you deserve. Professional performers are generally more expensive, but have more invested. They have quality sound and lighting as well as back-up equipment, large music libraries, dependable transportation, and proper attire. They will be willing to spend whatever time is needed with you to properly plan your event. They can handle any situation that may arise. Get references from known wedding service providers. Then ask price and book the best value for your money.
