You come home from work and your house is under water. There’s a leak and you have no idea where it’s coming from. Everything is going wrong. Do you a.) Call an emergency plumber b.) Try and fix the problem yourself c.) Call someone you know who knows a little bit about plumbing.
I certainly know what I would do – call the expert! The same applies when looking at music for your wedding or event. We’re not just saying this. We’ve heard a few horror stories in the past and have been lucky enough to step in and help on a few occasions.
We thought it might be an idea to reason out why you should let the professionals take care of your music needs:
Why Book a Professional Jazz Band: Licensing and Sound Levels
Licensing laws
Many of the venues we perform at – especially wedding ones – have strict rules around noise output. These rules cover certain times and certain areas of a venue. As a professional act for hire, we can accurately detect what decibel level we can perform at and when. This ensures there’s no conflict on your big day. We also have completely acoustic and unplugged options available, so no need to worry about any sound limiters. A happy venue is a happy event!
Last-minute hitches
Anyone who has been around on the circuit as long as we have will be used to a few last-minute hiccups. The last thing you want on your big day is to have to sort out logistical issues for suppliers. As professionals, we know to keep any issue contained. We sort it out ourselves with the venue behind the scenes and just keep making sure the day runs smoothly.
Making It Personal: Custom Music for Your Wedding Day
Making it personal
This especially applies to weddings. We love talking with the couple and working on music choices. We are always happy to take on new numbers as well as performing some of the 200+ classics in our repertoire. It’s a service you won’t get from amateur musicians. It’s one which really gives the day a personal touch. After all, your first dance song is your song – don’t settle for selecting one from a book.
Practice makes perfect
The difference between a professional and an amateur is staggering. We rehearse regularly as a band, keeping our repertoire fresh. We also continuously work on new material. This ensures we deliver a polished performance, every single time.
Professional Jazz Band Insurance and Reliability
We’re fully insured
All our musicians carry full public liability insurance. This protects both you and the venue on the day. It’s yet another reason to book a professional rather than an amateur act. Peace of mind on your special day is priceless.
So there you have it – a few very good reasons to always book a professional jazz band for your event. Get in touch with Silk Street Jazz today to discuss your requirements.
