It is said that ‘good performers create a vibe… but great performers curate an atmosphere’. The difference then between the entertainment being good and great at your wedding, comes down to research and timely preparation.
Nothing quite conjures, conveys or captures emotion like music. Whether you are wanting the romantic ambience of an acoustic solo as you walk down the aisle or a 12 piece band belting out much loved bangers late into the evening, here are our expert tips to help decide on the best Brisbane based musician and DJ’s for your wedding day.
Style, budget, space and versatility will all play a role when deciding on who, when and what music you want played or performed at your wedding. A playlist may be a great option for your ceremony or garden party but to entice guests out of their seats and onto the dance floor you simply can’t go past a DJ at your reception
Budget is the next important consideration, typically a DJ will cost less than a band. Bands can have anywhere between 2 and 10 members and contract inclusions will often involve additional charges for travel, drinks and meals for each member. Be sure to ask to see the bands ‘rider’ before booking to avoid hidden costs or surprises.
ASK QUESTIONS LIKE:
- Can I get a discounted rate if I book a midweek wedding? YES
- Do you perform at more than one event in a day? NO
- Do you take any breaks, how many and when? NO
- Do you (and each band member if booking a band) require a meal? NO
- What is your policy on consuming alcohol during the wedding? We do NOT drink at your wedding
- Have you done events at my wedding venue before? Probably.
- Are there any noise restrictions at the venue?
- Will you supply your own audio equipment or will the venue need to supply it?
- What time will you arrive at the venue? Lastly, the versatility of an artist is central to the success of your evening’s entertainment. A great DJ will act as a MC of sorts for this part of your reception, interacting with and playing on the mood of the crowd to lure them onto the dance floor. While nothing can really replicate the energy dynamic that live musicians provide, a DJ doesn’t need to take breaks between songs and can provide a seamless transition, creatively blending one song into the next. A band also may also be limited by their repertoire, if you want a spontaneous rendition of a song they may not be able to accommodate the request.
BE SURE TO ENQUIRE:
- What do you do to motivate the crowd if nobody is dancing?
- Do you take requests from guests?
- Will the DJ be personally playing at your wedding?
- Do you also play an MC role for the evening?
Regardless of which way you decide to swing be sure to thoroughly vet your candidates and start looking sooner rather than later, anywhere between twelve and eighteen months out from your date. While it is not always possible, it is preferable that you can see your DJ perform live.
