PLAN IN ADVANCE
Planning well in advance is the best advice. This way you can be assured to get the entertainment or services that you most prefer.
Planning well in advance is the best advice. This way you can be assured to get the entertainment or services that you most prefer.
CHOOSE YOUR DATE & LOCATION
Choose
your date and lock in your location before you try to secure services
and entertainment. Party professionals and entertainers will most likely
only confirm your booking when they are sure of the date, time and
location. Then you need to secure the date with a contract and a
deposit.
REFERRALS ARE THE BEST RESOURCE
Referrals from friends, direct from vendor, or other party professionals are a great way to seek out vendors for your event. You will still need to interview people and look at samples of their work to ensure that they meet with your expectations. At KLN we believe that referrals are our best form of advertisement and we’re proud to be referred by many clients. Just request referrals and are very happy to provide!

BUDGET IN ADVANCE
It’s OK to call vendors in advance to get an idea of cost so you can better plan your budget. Be clear with them that you understand that their estimate to you could change based on your event requirements. There will always be hidden costs or unexpected things to add to your event that you would never dream of in the beginning. It’s like building a house. You could start out with a certain budget and end up with double the cost if you choose all of the “extras.” With the entertainment, once you are contracted- there should be no additional costs unless the client wishes to add something.. Not the vendor!

ENJOY YOUR VENDORS OR PARTY PLANNER
Choose people you enjoy working with. If you don’t feel comfortable with a vendor then move on. Don’t force the relationship. It will be difficult to work smoothly together if you’re sensing any friction in the beginning stages. You’ll become more stressed as the event time nears. Never settle for the pushy salesman type. Its a good practice for a vendor to follow up with you, however there is a fine line. Your party professional should be able to soothe your fears and put your mind at ease that everything will work out to perfection. WE ARE VERY HAPPY TO MEET WITH YOU WELL BEFORE THE EVENT. WE FEEL ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE A CHEMISTRY, A KINSHIP, AND QUITE SIMPLY GET TO KNOW YOU before the wedding or event!

BE FAIR-DON’T OVER NEGOTIATE
Don’t
squeeze people on the price. Nobody wants to work for less than what
they feel their work is worth. It’s one thing to get a good deal and
it’s another to expect everything for nothing. Clients don’t see the
“hidden costs” a supplier has to incur in order to provide the music,
entertainment or product. If you feel the pricing is fair and workable
for you, go for it..Don’t over pay or underpay. Be fair and you’ll get
great service! Do not use an agent when hiring entertainment- There are
agencies that roughly double what a privately owned band/entertainment
company would. There is a lot of over head that you pay for and about
half or less in some cases go to the performers.
DON’T MICRO MANAGE THE EVENT-HAVE FUN!
Choose your vendors because you “trust” that they are professionals at what they do. Tell them exactly what you want to achieve, what you envision and the end result. Provide them with the information they request, assist in preparing any timeline or music requests. Let your party planner, photographer or catering director coordinate the details. Parties are very similar to TV shows. Your emcee will guide you effortlessly through your event. The photographer and videographer will work with the entertainment and catering staff to capture those cherished moments of a lifetime.

DON’T PLAN EVERY SONG TO BE PLAYED
Some
clients love music so much they want to pick all of their favorite
songs and expect the band to stick to their list exclusively. We will do
this with a smile but we don’t recommend it. It’s very unusual to find
that all guests at one party like all of the same songs. Allow your
entertainment the “freedom” to “entertain.” Your party will be more
successful and guests will have more fun. Every event has highs and lows
and different styles of music are needed to cover all aspects of a
successful party.
NOT JUST FUNK- FUNKY YES
We know that preparing for a special event can be daunting yet thinking about the music perhaps is one of the funnest parts of the whole process. Think of all the songs you love and memories associated with them. Diversity is king. The band, although quite funky has a repertoire extremely diverse, fun, and can accommodate VIRTUALLY ALL STYLES with notice. This is a rare quality and sure to please those of all tastes!
