Wedding Bands Scotland
We thought that we'd come up with a small check list of some of the issues you need
to consider once you have lined up one of the many wedding bands in Scotland.
1. Check with the venue that you can use live wedding bands Scotland.
Although this may seem an obvious
thing to consider you need to talk to the venue with regards to the sort of live
entertainment as a number of wedding venues may be sharing facilities with other
business such as galleries and museums or places of historical significance and
so they might place limitations on volume level and also the size of the band. We'd
advise that assuming you have confirmed this with the venue it's advisable to obtain
a contact name and telephone number for the band to liaise with.
2. Check with the
band about the time they wish to turn up and set up their gear.
For a wedding we
would usually arrive 1 hour before the start time. This would give us lots of time
to set up all of our equipment and sound check our equipment. The typical kick off
time is 8pm therefore we would aim to attend your venue at about 7pm unless otherwise
agreed. When a consumer would like us to setup earlier to the meal there would most
likely be an additional cost for this.
3. Easy access to the Venue in Scotland.
It's fundamental
that the Scottish wedding band can get easy access to the reception room principally
for Health and safety. Large staircases and elevators may increase the period of
time that it will take for the band to transport their equipment and that might
impact the schedule for the night. If in the event that lifts would be utilised
it is very important that the band may have personal use of the lift for that exact
time frame to ensure that their loading in isn't impeded in any way.
4. Wedding Band Requirements
A good number of music bands will need food and drinks sooner or later on the reception.
Unless it is for corporate entertainment the band can usually actually eat from
the buffet normally provided for the guests, this would naturally be agreed upon
before hand with the bride and groom.
5. Timings
The band typically play Three hours
within a 4 hour period, just as the majority of wedding bands Scotland. Typical
times are usually between 8pm-12am but this really is negotiable. In the event that
the reception schedule is delayed the predetermined timings would continue to apply
except when the band agrees to play past the contracted finishing time.
