How to Find Entertainers for Weddings
After tying up all the loose ends for your wedding preparations next on your list is finding entertainment. Of course the nuptials are the reason for celebrating, but the entertainment can make the event so special. Getting married is a joyous celebration and you want to ensure great performers and fun for all. Consider a few tips for finding entertainers for weddings.
Focus on your budget. Try and be realistic about what you can afford and are willing to pay for entertainment. If you plan on hiring entertainers, consider the longer they perform the more they charge. Think about paying for some entertainment and supplying some that does not cost anything. Have your friends play a selection of music in between paid-for performances. You can save a lot of money and it adds more variety to the day's entertainment.
Make a list of the types of entertainment you think you want. Do you want live music, disk jockeys, comedians, magic acts or wedding singers? Determining the type of entertainment will make your search easier and narrow down the focus.
Think about any bands you may have seen at local pubs that might perform at your wedding. Many bands just starting out would love the exposure and might offer a good price.
Check your local newspaper in the weekend edition as well as the classifieds for entertainment. You might luck out and find a couple of bands in need of gigs or a talented magic act that could be the perfect entertainment.
Perform a quick search on the Internet for "wedding entertainment company". You will find several websites to view and many forms of entertainment from which to choose.
- Ask for recommendations for wedding entertainers from your church or friends and family members. Be sure and check with people from work that may have just gotten married and had entertainment. They can offer first hand experience for hiring entertainment.
