The Funktion




When it comes to your event, the entertainment you choose can be the crucial decision to the lasting impression you leave on your guests and yourself as the happy couple.
The band will fill the air with music creating an atmosphere of at first romantic sophistication and by the end fun-filled party time to celebrate the beginning of the rest of your lives together.
This guide will assist you in the options you should consider which will ensure it’s covered and you can focus on more important matters such as the dress!
Live Bands are a great touch for wedding entertainment. There are professional bands available that can provide you with a list of songs so you can make your own choice of songs and make an evening everyone will remember.
When it comes to arranging the wedding entertainment the most important thing is to book quality acts. There are entertainment agencies (KLN Entertainment) that specialize in taking care of it all for you. You can usually submit a short inquiry form and you will receive some personalized packages for you to choose from. It is worthwhile to consider an agency as they are professionals and you will be sure that you are in safe hands.
When choosing entertainment for your wedding think about it carefully. What type would suit you best and which parts of the day do you think you should entertain your guests? How much do you have to spend? This will a big deciding factor on the type of entertainment you can provide.
Bored guests are never happy ones so the parts of the day that you should cater for are, the drinks reception whilst you are having your photographs taken, the wedding breakfast if you have a long time before the evening event and of course the main evening party. In my opinion the evening entertainment is where you should concentrate your effort if your budget is limited.
For the purposes of this article I will concentrate on paid entertainment. I know there is a lot of ways to DIY entertain but I am just going to concentrate on hiring entertainers.

Lets start with how much to spend out of your budget.
The average percentage is between 7 – 12% of your wedding budget. If you are a follower of the Wedding Genie then you know we believe in working out your priorities right at the beginning of your wedding planning. That way you will know right away if entertainment features highly. If so you can always spend more and cut back in other areas, but as a guide this is the average percentage.

How do you decide what kind of Entertainment you want?
I guess to a certain extent it’s down to your personal style, and what kind of atmosphere you want to create at your wedding. Do you want high energy grooving or a sophisticated jazzy feel? Are you a country music fan or a rat pack lover? Perhaps you want dancing but without the disco, such as a Ceilidh band.
Maybe your wedding has a particular theme that certain music and entertainment lend itself to. Think about what your friends and family like and how you want them to remember the evening. The more of an idea that you have will help you choose what type of entertainment is right for you. Another factor that will help decide is the size of your venue; fitting an eight-piece band into a small intimate room is not practical, also you have to check if your venue has a license for entertainment. Lastly your budget will dictate but if you choose wisely you can still have really good entertainment, just shop around and think about it carefully. Obviously the main part of the day to provide entertainment for is the evening reception, but if you have more in your budget then it’s great to have something going on to keep your guests entertained whilst you are having your photographs taken and throughout the drinks reception if you are having one.  The common denominator we know= a party- lets dance, lets rock it!!

Top Tip for Sourcing Entertainment Companies
There are many agencies on the Internet where you can find entertainment, who specialise in wedding entertainers. Their websites should be informative, have pricing guides, question and answer areas , along with clips of sound tracks and choices of music. It’s a good idea to ask for references of past clients.  What is it that separates many of the big agencies from the independent bands - Price.  Yes, you are going to pay nearly $9,500 for that $6,000 10 piece band that is not booked through an agency.  Do your homework and save thousands.  The agencies that promote 5-20 bands have a lot of overhead that you pay for as well as fees to the venues they work with.  Overhead includes rent, commission, sales team, and on and on as thir are many weddings occurring at one time.  Consider Hiring an independent group that is a real band and most likely the music is sigifigantly better as well as very personalized service.  Concentrated efforts are on one event at a time, and when it is your big day-- this is what you want!

The choice for entertainment is quite vast but I would urge you to choose what suits your style and personality. Choose what makes you happy and what you are comfortable with. I hope this goes some way to help you decide the perfect entertainment for you.

Good luck on your search and we hope this has helped!
