THE FUNKTION WEDDING AND DANCE BAND NJ

OK- We have been there and have seen it all. More small tips for a great reception or party DON’T:  Call for group photos when the dance floor is packed: When your photographer decides to take group shots when the dance floor is rockin’, either 1/2 the dance floor goes outside to take the picture, or the bandleader has to clear the dance floor to do these shots. This kills the momentum of the party. DO:  Try having the photographer do group shots during background music time. The bandleader will be happy to coordinate this with your photographer. DON’T:   No dance music during the meal: Quite often, the caterer or venue asks the band to stop the dancing and get everyone seated for dinner, and then does not bring out food for 10 or 15 minutes. We know the importance of having everyone seated to enjoy the main course while it is hot. However, we are  very skilled at taking the cue from watching the servers, and will automatically slow the music down once service really beg

Dear Ken, I cannot thank you enough for the amazing performance last night at the Cairnwood Summer Wine Tasting.  Our guests raved about the music and it blows my mind that you were able to get the crowd dancing.  Your band turned a simple wine tasting into a memorable party!  Also – your band members are so professional, kind and easy to work with.  It is refreshing to meet a group that you know is having fun and truly enjoying the event as much as we are.  It truly was a magnificent night and I hope to see you again at Cairnwood very soon. Sincerely, Shannon Director - Cairnwood Estate 215.947.2004 ex26

The Funktion Budgeting For Entertainment- Get The Best 1. Budget Very few of us have the ability to spend whatever they want on their wedding or event. This means most of us work within a budget. Sitting down and realistically looking at your budget breakdown will help determine which band you pick. Most bridal budgets recommend spending 10% on entertainment, but this can vary for different people. You need to determine what is most important to you. If you want to pay extra for a band you love and lower the budget elsewhere, that’s OK!   -Consider an independently owned entertainment company. -chances are the owner also performs. You can expect to pay $11,000 and up if you go another route.  Included in that fee is 15-25% charged you to cover commissions, over head, kickback fees to venue for their recommendations and pushing their bands, and profit.  Save yourself a serious sum – go directly to the independent bands…They are not cookie cutter, less expensive, and m
