Find
the right Chicago wedding band
If you are interested in securing
a Chicago wedding band, you will need to be resourceful in
your search. Nothing prohibits you from offering the gig to
the local band you love, but when hiring bands unaccustomed
to playing at weddings, be very clear about the arrangements:
Concerts at clubs can run behind schedule with nobody blinking
an eye, but on your wedding day, you don’t want to be
worried about the Chicago wedding band showing up late.
Your
search may lead to an entertainment agency that will work
with you to define your musical requirements and budget and
to find the right Chicago wedding band. All such agencies
should offer the opportunity to “audition” various
bands—some with audiotapes, some with videotapes, still
others by encouraging the couple to attend a function at which
the band is performing..
The
magic of the music won’t be ruined by nailing down the
business arrangements for special event entertainment. The
contract you draw up with the Chicago wedding band should
spell out every detail of the terms of their hiring, from
the names of each of the principal band members to a specific
song list (or at least a musical style). It should cover the
logistics of arrival, setup, and departure times; liability-insurance
coverage; payment schedule; attire; food and drinks for the
band; break times; transportation arrangements; and provisions
for overtime and other unforeseeable costs.
In
considering the size of the Chicago wedding band, both budget
and venue will be factors. Even if the budget can accommodate
eighteen players, the size of the room and its acoustics may
dictate a more intimate sound. Access to a piano may be an
issue: If a keyboard won’t do, be sure to inquire whether
the site includes a piano or can accommodate a rental—but
know, too, that a piano rental and tuner will have a significant
impact on the music budget.
A set
number of breaks for the Chicago wedding band will need to
be specified, typically three or four during the course of
a four-hour reception—one twenty-minute meal break and
the rest around ten or fifteen minutes. If arrangements have
been made for continuous play, the band members will alternate
breaks, so there will be seamless music and no need to use
CDs or tapes to fill in the gaps. If not, the bandleader will
be responsible for playing select CDs or tapes through the
breaks. No matter what, the musicians must be fed, although
they don’t need to be included in the guest count. Ask
the hotel or caterer about vendor meals, which they should
offer at a reasonable price.
