A Wedding is the most important day of any Bride and Groom’s lives.
It’s a day that you have been dreaming about for years and saving up for to ensure it’s the most special and memorable day of your lives.
And while every detail is often planned month’s and sometimes years in advance, many often seem to wait to the last minute to choose their wedding entertainment acts; often treating as an afterthought.
The issue with procrastinating is that most bands, solo artists and performers get booked for popular dates as far as 2 years in advance!
So much like your wedding venue, wedding Breakfast and Evening Reception needs to be chosen far in advance, so does your entertainment.
Underscoring booking your wedding entertainment in advance is crucial!
And that’s where we come in!
We take wedding entertainment very seriously, and we have for over 37 years, supplying stunning, professional and sensational entertainment for weddings all throughout London and the United Kingdom.
In fact, we recently launched four special entertainment packages similar to the Wedding Breakfast Menu.
How Our Services Differs From Other Entertainment Agencies
Our CEO & Founder has been working in the entertainments industry for over 37 years and as the high level of entertainment increases so does our customer service.
On the initial discussion of the entertainment you require for your wedding we always prefer to arrange a visit at your convenience to meet you and the lucky Groom at your home address so that we can get to know you and your characters and your quirks so that we can include that into your entertainment for your special day.
Getting to know your Entertainment Agent on a personal level means that you can build trusts between you and your agent so that the agent can achieve wishes and being able to book the very best in entertainment within or slightly out of your budget
Why You Should Book Wedding Entertainment Early
The same as your wedding venue, you book in advance to ensure that you have your perfect wedding venue and the same goes for your entertainment, you need to book in advance so that you can have your favourite band or singer.
Most professional wedding entertainers they do get booked up very quickly.
So our advise is as soon as your venue is booked contact Mike Russ Entertainments (MRE) Group Ltd and we will book your favourite band.
Make sure you have entertainment for the other parts to your Wedding
The evening reception tends to be a band and possible a DJ to fill in for the breaks or the band you book may also do DJ as well to keep the party dancing on the dance floor.
But its not just about the evening reception for entertainment there are other parts that sometimes has a lull with nothing happening especially between the wedding breakfast and the evening reception: –
- The Ceremony whilst your signing the register
- The Drinks Reception
- The Wedding Breakfast
The kind of entertainment you could book for the day time of your wedding could be string quartet, pianist, close up magician either working the drinks reception room or working the room where your wedding breakfast is being served.
It doesn’t have to be music to keep your party occupied we also supply some exquisite circus acts such as silk aerialists.
How To Choose Your Wedding Reception Band
Some Bride and Grooms always make the same mistake of booking entertainment to suit their guests, but this is your wedding day and your wedding reception.
This is the part where you come together with your friends, colleagues and other family members to celebrate with the newlyweds.
So the band is your choice, your style of music.
But for the reception, most people do dance to a band and most bands will play the cheesy classics to keep your older guests happy.
But there other area’s that you need to cover, for instance if you’re getting married in the highlands of Scotland and your band is in Portsmouth then this is going to be costing you more for travel, overnight accommodation and meals.
So to help you keep the costs down we would then suggest a band in the Scotland is booked.
Most performers will travel approx. 90 mins and after that will require funds to cover their petrol costs.
Whatever, Mike Russ Entertainments Group Ltd will be at your side every step of the way as your wedding is extremely important to us just as it is for you.
So we want it to go smoothly and with no hiccups.
When you do book your venue talk to them about wedding entertainment and having a band, there are several things you need to ask the venue before you start booking a band: –
Are they permitted to have live music and if so are they any restrictions such as noise level?
Check with the venue that they haven’t been served by their Council a served a noise abatement notice, which requires the venue to reduce the volume of all music.
Check where the band would be performing and if there’s going to be enough room.
At MRE Group Ltd we will always tell you how much space the band will require in feet.
When booking your band or your wedding entertainment with MRE Group Ltd, we will always invite you to come along with us to see them in action on public bookings, we couldn’t let you see them playing at a wedding it wouldn’t be fair.
