Your wedding day is, in many cases, the most complicated and important event
you ever have to plan in your life. Thinking about the wedding entertainment
- choosing a wedding disco service and co-ordinating the events at the reception
can seem a huge headache. At MantraSound we deal with customers from all sorts
of walks of life, and all with very different perceptions of their wedding day,
and how it should unfold. Everyone has different timescales too. We cater for
the couple who are marrying next month, and planning an informal relaxed day,
as well as those who are planning two years in advance, and prepared to rehearse
every step of their day. As an organisation, our strength is in communicating
with our customers, anticipating hitches and offering our experience and knowledge
of the field of wedding music to fulfil your ideas and ambitions wherever we
can. We use our wide network of contacts and service providers in the world
of entertainment, and wedding entertainment in particular, to ensure that your
day flows as smoothly as possible, and is the satisfying product of proper planning
and consideration.
Timescales
Whilst we try to accommodate all approaches within our wedding entertainment
plans, we suggest that wedding music - particularly discos and live performers
- is booked no more than a year in advance. You should certainly pay your deposit
no more than a year in advance - ideally three to six months. As the day approaches,
and becomes a reality, what seemed like a great idea two years ago may suddenly
appear impractical or inappropriate. We find there is an ideal timescale for
booking, both from the customer and the performer's point of view, and we guide
our customers accordingly.
Guest List
The first serious element in your planning is your guest
list. A guest list is a very personal element in your planning - sometimes there
is a key family figure who it may be helpful to consult, to make sure you remember
relatives who you may not have been in touch with recently - after all everyone
likes to be invited, even if it's not practical to attend! Making your guest
list will also help you to get an idea of the style of entertainment appropriate
for your big day. At this point it may be a good idea to check with your high
priority guests so that they can put the date in their diary.
Venue booking
After making your list, you need to ensure you have your venue - this can be
done first, and ideally a year before the date. Obviously at this stage you
may wish to have an approximate idea of your day's entertainment - whether disco,
theme disco, classical accompaniment, rock and roll band or cabaret performances
from our wide variety of artists. Whatever you book, make sure it is large enough
to cope with your ideas, and check all the facilities offered.
Invitations
Once you have your venue booked, invitations can usually be sent out.
Bookings
By this stage, your idea of what you want for the day will be coming together
- you will ideally need to book around six months before the day (Some performers
do take bookings for a year or two in advance, but you need to be pretty sure
that the band will still be together, the DJ will still be in the same area,
or the act you choose will still be in good health - this is quite a long time
in real terms!). At MantraSound we often book the evening's disco (carried out
by a specialist weddings DJ) or
live band, and simultaneously work with you to select
any other types of entertainment that interest you. We have a large database
to choose from, and are also experienced at locating new performers for more
unusual requests. Whatever you finally settle for, we will offer you a variety
of similar performers at varying budgets, and will work with you in determining
the precise combination of choices and cost which will satisfy you. All performers
and wedding discos are backed up by contracts stipulating performance duration,
content and cost. Wedding discos and wedding performers usually carry a booking
fee in advance, with the balance payable on the night.
