We thought that we would come up with a compact guide of the practical points you will need to consider once you have lined up a wedding band Scotland.
Although this may seem an obvious aspect to consider you ought to check with the venue about the sort of live entertainment since a few wedding venues may be sharing facilities along with other business such as art galleries or places of historical significance and so they might place limitations on volume and also the size of the band. We would advise that when you have established this with them it's a wise decision to acquire a contact name and number for the band to use.
For a wedding party we would normally turn up 1 hour prior to the start time. This should provide us lots of time to setup our gear and sound check our equipment. The most common starting time is 8pm therefore we would strive to be at your venue at about 7pm unless otherwise stated. When a consumer would like us to set up prior to the dinner there would most likely be an extra charge for this.
It is very important that the Scottish wedding band are able to get easy access to the function room mostly for Health and safety reasons. Particularly long staircases and elevators may well increase the length of time that it's going to take for the band to carry in their equipment and that might affect the schedule for the night. If in cases where lifts are to be used it's critical that the band may have personal use of the lift for a exact time period so that their load in will not be inhibited in any way.
Most wedding bands need to have food and drink provisions at some point on the evening. Except if it is actually for corporate entertainment the band can usually actually eat from the buffet normally provided for the friends and family, this could needless to say be agreed up-front with the bride and groom.
The band normally perform 3 hours within a four hour time period, just as a good number of wedding bands Scotland. Normal times are often between 8-12am although this really is discussed. If the reception schedule is running late the contracted timings would always apply except in cases where the band agrees to perform past the contracted finishing time.
