We’ve heard plenty of bad things about entertainment agencies and so understand your concerns. However, not all are the same and there is the odd great entertainment agency out there who will work with you to find the right band for your wedding music and wedding entertainment.

The difference between the entertainment agencies that is in it for the long haul is that they are not just there to make a quick buck and then never be seen again. A good entertainment agency will be striving to build on and continue to develop a name and status that will make them a reliable source for any kind of wedding bands. When reputation is paramount for an entertainment agency they will realise that if they do a poor job today then they won’t be in business tomorrow. Bearing this in mind should mean that the booking agent will want to get things perfect for their customers.

After ascertaining that a) you have found an entertainment agency that fits this bill, and then b) actually finding and hearing wedding bands and cover bands you like on their roster, the main reason you ...
... should always use an entertainment agency is simple – to relieve worry and stress!

When you hire wedding music or wedding bands from a good entertainment agency you can rest assured that the live music band will provide you with the most awesome entertainment. You won’t have to worry about the act not turning up, you won’t have to fret over their appearance or quality or how they handle themselves with your guests... you can just enjoy them.

A great entertainment agency will have vetted their live music bands to the highest standard to ensure that they are reliable, professional, outstanding musicians and performers and have plenty of experience so that the entertainment for a wedding will be outstanding.

An agency with a select amount of wedding bands and cover bands will have turned down nearly all of the acts that apply to join their roster and so those featured will have withstood the rigorous protocol and passed with flying colours.

In addition, an entertainment agency will provide transparent and legally enforceable booking contracts and terms and conditions to protect both you and the wedding bands or cover bands you have booked. This means that everything is formally agreed between both parties and you know exactly where you stand given any situation.

Sometimes, even with the best laid plans on very rare occasions things are beyond anybody’s control. For example, the lead singer of the wedding band you have booked has been struck down by illness and is just too unwell to perform. What now? Is this where the stress and worry kick in? Not if you have booked with a decent entertainment agency. The booking agent will make sure that all of their bands have fully-trained deputy (‘dep’) performers, which means that they can stand-in and there is no disruption to all your planning.

An entertainment agency is an invaluable source for finding the right wedding bands, wedding music and cover bands and is also a great way to ensure that you do not have worry or stress about your wedding entertainment whatever occurs en route to your big day.
