How to organise wedding band hire for your big day

 

special day

You’ve fiddled with the table plan, your invitations are ready, and the excitement is building. Wedding planning is in full swing! If you’re considering wedding band hire, we’ve put together an easy, step-by-step guide to organising entertainment or wedding band hire for your big day.

Put your feet up, put the wedding magazines to one side, and read on!

Step 1: Get in touch and tell us what you want

Silk Street Jazz are one of our most popular acts, but we’re also a UK-wide entertainment agency with experienced magicians, singers, live musicians, caricaturists, comedians, and dancers on our books. We can match our entertainment to the theme and size of your event, whether you’re looking for something intimate during the ceremony or crowd-pleasing for the reception.

We’ll send you a list of tailored acts, or you can browse on our website. If you’re not sure who you’d like, you can see them in action in our videos.

Step 2: Provide the essential info

Once you’ve chosen an act, we need to know the details of your big day.

We can provide the best entertainment options right away once we know more about the venue, date, and time. Some acts need more space than others – some need a stage, and some can perform virtually anywhere. We can also take care of the necessary safety certificates, conduct site visits, and communicate with venue staff. If you’re still negotiating with different venues, we can make suggestions and help you narrow it down.

It’s important that you know the date and venue before you confirm your booking with Silk Street. If plans change, it can be costly and your favourite act might already be booked!

“I have had the pleasure of working with Silk Street and have been so impressed that I have booked with them for a repeat performance. The Act was an amazing asset that helped Harrods entertain it’s customers and VIPs. The level of professionalism was unreal from start to finish this included the whole process of booked to performance.”

Mark Harris, Harrods

Step 3: Tell us about your budget

Consider how much you have to spend and we can find an act that fits the bill. We work hard to make sure we have quality acts for every budget. If you’ve got your heart set on a particular act, we can toggle the line-up and locations to try and make it more affordable for you.

For those with a blow-out budget, you can spend your dough on either one big act, or spread your funds out and pay for smaller acts to entertain throughout the day.

Step 4: Book!

When you’ve chosen your perfect entertainment, it’s time confirm the booking! Our concierge service means you don’t have to lift a finger, we do it all for you. Everything can be arranged through our online booking system or over the phone.

To confirm, we’ll ask you to sign a few forms and then put down your deposit. When it’s all sorted, we’ll send a confirmation email so you know your booking is secure. The month before your wedding, we’ll get in touch for a quick chat to confirm the details.

“Just a quick note to say your guys were AWESOME, they rocked it and really made the party go with some swing.”

Step 5: Enjoy the day

We’ve worked with hundreds of couples to help them make their wedding day unforgettable, but we know the planning stage is inevitably stressful. Our acts are chosen for their skill and professionalism, and are always prompt and ready to perform, so you can dance, sing, and enjoy. There’s no simpler way to book wedding band hire.
