Help & advice |
|
If you are thinking of booking a band
for your event, you will understandably want the very best
entertainment for your very special occasion.
Q. How do I make a enquiry/booking?
A. Its good to talk, especially about such an important decision.
When you call we will discuss your requirements in full and be able
to offer the best advice for your event.
Q. How can I hear the artists I'd like to
book?
A. Most artists have audio files on their page. To listen to the
audio files you'll need windows media player installed on your PC .
Simply click the name of the song you'd like to listen to on the
artists page and their song will begin playing .
Q. Can I go to see a band before I decide
to book them?
A. We recommend, you see the band performing live, however many of
our bands only perform private functions. We will provide you with
as much information as possible along with a custom made CD which,
we hope, will give you an excellent idea of what to expect from
them.
Q. How do I know if band are available?
A. Once you have made an enquiry, we will contact the artist(s) to
check their availability. We will then contact you to confirm and
you can make your decision. When checking the availability of an
artist you are under no obligation to book them.
Q. How long do the bands perform?
A. The majority of bands play a minimum of 2 x 45 minute sets. Many
function/wedding bands play for longer. Some tribute bands,
specialist acts and classical artists play to suit the occasion and
this will be discussed at the time of booking.
Q. Will the band provide any background
music?
A. Bands who play at weddings, private functions and corporate
events usually provide a CD player and play background music in
between sets. Some times there may be a small additional charge.
Professional DJ's can also be provided as an addition on request.
Q. Will I receive a contract?
A. Every booking will first be confirmed verbally, then via a
Booking Contract. This contract guarantees your booking and confirms
all of the fine details such as arrival times, payment instructions,
set times, venue address and our terms and conditions of booking.
Q. What payment methods can I use?
A. You can pay your booking deposit to Charm Music as follows:
1. By Cheque (payable to Charm Music)
2. Direct transfer into our bank account (please ask for details)
You can pay the balance as follows:
1. Advance payment to Charm Music 7 days prior to your event
2. Cash on the night
3. Cheque on the night of the event, payable to the band
Q. Do I need to pay a deposit?
A. All bookings are subject to a 15% + vat deposit. This is payable
at the time of booking.
Q. How loud is the
band?
A. Most bands
will perform at a level suitable for the room/event. Please bear in
mind that the room can also be a factor in the how the band sounds.
In our
experience, we recognise that for most parties, you need the band to
be loud enough on the dance floor to create an atmosphere without
deafening the rest of the room.
In marquees
and venues with carpeted floors and soft furnishings this is easy to
achieve due to the 'dead acoustic'. In rooms and halls with high
ceilings, wooden/stone floors and lots of windows the echo of the
acoustic makes the volume much harder to control.
Q. What if the band don't turn up?
A. If the band are unable to attend, due to illness or unforeseen
circumstances, we will endeavour to find a suitable replacement and
have contacts throughout the UK with all leading agencies.
