How do I book a band?
To book a band for your event, start by selecting the perfect band with the assistance of one of our book agents. Once chosen, we’ll gather the necessary details to draft a contract for you. A signed contract and a 50% deposit of the total fee are required to secure your date and performance time. The remaining balance will be due 30 days before your event unless your organization operates with a net payment policy.
Can I request special music to be performed?
Yes, you can speak with one of our booking agents to determine if the chosen band can accommodate special requests. Please note that this may affect the performance cost, as the band might need additional rehearsal time to prepare.
What are the differences in hiring a band instead of a DJ?
Choosing between a band and a DJ for your event involves considering the type of atmosphere and experience you wish to create. Bands bring a vibrant, live performance energy that can make your event feel more dynamic and personalized. They captivate guests with both visual and auditory experiences but require breaks during their sets and may play versions of songs that differ from the original recordings, which could impact guest engagement on the dance floor.
Conversely, DJs offer a seamless flow of music with minimal interruptions and the flexibility to play a wide variety of tracks as originally recorded, ensuring that guests hear the versions they know and love. This can maintain high energy and keep the dance floor active. DJs can also adapt quickly to the mood of the crowd, altering their playlist to encourage more dancing and participation.
Ultimately, the choice depends on your specific needs and the atmosphere you envision for your event. Bands offer a unique and engaging presence, while DJs provide continuous entertainment and song variety. At Extraordinary, we can assist you in making the best choice to ensure a memorable event experience, whether it involves the electrifying presence of a live band or the versatile sounds of a DJ. For those still undecided, combining a live band with a DJ might be the perfect solution, allowing you to enjoy the best of both worlds—live music’s energy and the DJ’s musical variety.
How much time is needed for the band to setup and rehearse?
Each act has unique setup and rehearsal needs. Generally, we require at least two hours for setup before a performance begins. Larger bands or those needing a sound check may require additional time to prepare. Please coordinate with your booking agent to ensure the band’s timing requirements align with your event logistics.
How much room does the band need?
The space required for a band’s performance depends on several factors, including the size of the act and the instruments used. Larger venues that need a more robust sound system may also affect space requirements. Be sure to check with your booking agent for exact space needs to ensure everything fits seamlessly into your event setup.
