Professional acts will have promotional packs with information, photos, repertoire and normally audio or visual samples of their work. General good advice for any entertainment service is to make sure you have as much information as possible on an act before engaging them. You usually get what you pay for and scrimping on the price might mean scrimping on the quality too. Less than £450 and you might be getting a great bargain, but be sure to exercise caution here. £900 for example, would be a high price to pay for a trio. By multiplying this, it should be possible to estimate a reasonable cost for the band you are hiring. This will be more if they are required for long periods of time. As a guideline, individual musicians will usually charge between £150 and £300 for most functions. Generally, the price of your band will depend on the number of musicians and how long they are required for. Some musicians will also take requests but remember that the band will have to learn these songs some give them plenty of warning. A jazz trio will create an a classy relaxed atmosphere whereas a soul band will get everyone up dancing! Many ensembles can play a mixture of old and new songs to suit everyone's tastes but it is always a good idea to check this with the band before your event. Thirdly and perhaps most important - the age/tastes of your guests and the ambience you wish to achieve. Booking a 20 piece salsa band to play in your dining room might not be the best idea! Try to tailor the number of players to the size of your venue and the number of guests you are expecting. It could be very costly to hire musicians who are based 200 miles away or more, so try to get local musicians - musicians for hire in your area are much less likely to get stuck in traffic and miss your wedding reception.
