When selecting the agency to deal with, at the back of your mind you need to consider factors such as uniqueness, the level of experience and the fun the band can offer. While some agents are dependable, the same cannot be said of all agencies.

The agents and their managers play the most important role is the selection process. They will tell you which band will be available and when. They can tell you all the charges and any other charges in case they are not included in the main charges. This ensures that you are fully informed when making the final decision.

When offering their services, they have to pay a close attention to what you prefer. This is achieved by listening and asking the right questions after which they respond by offering possible options to choose from.

In regards to the cost of hiring, there are several bands available each with a different cost. As such, depending on your budget range, you are likely to get a band that fit your desires. In some cases, it only cost $750 for an acoustic band for a small event. Playing in large events can be costly, particularly is the band is among the popular ones. In this case, you will be talking about a price range of $2500 to $7500. The agent normally lists the bands and their costs on their websites.

In regards to equipment and other instruments, the price is always inclusive and it is the duty of the band to carry the equipment that can entertain the number of guests as you have specified. However, when it comes to lighting, a band will normally provide the basic light to illuminate their performance. In case you need light for decoration, particularly in big events, you have to work with a lighting company.

In the agreement, the entertainment continues for four hours and this is what you are charged for. He four-hour period is inclusive of the breaks for speeches and other activities depending on your schedule. It may also include food break during which mp3 or DJ may take over. In the event that you want the band to play for more than the four hours, it is important to make this clear in the agreement and pay for the extra hours.

The other issue is the reservation time. It is necessary to make the reservation as early as you can. In fact, if the event is to be hosted on a Saturday or on the public holidays, you are better off making a reservation a year before, particularly if you are targeting the popular bands.
