LIVE MUSIC TIPS



Tip #1

Consider pairing live music with a DJ to gain versatility and coverage.


Tip #2

Request a demo of the live musicians you are considering hiring.


Tip #3

Ask if the musicians have a rider, which may contain requests for items above and beyond what you paid for when you hired them. Items on the rider can include: needing to provide them with meals, beverages, dressing room, and parking, just to name a few.


Tip #4

Want a custom arrangement of your first dance song? Most live musicians are happy to accommodate with enough advance warning.


Tip #5

Select your musicians based on your venue. If you are having an outdoor ceremony, a flute may not be loud enough for all your guests to hear. Conversely, if you have a small dinner space, don’t opt for a 16 piece Big Band that will overwhelm your guests.
