(as taken from the Perfect Wedding Guide)

Of all Brides and Grooms surveyed, most said entertainment made up the majority of the receptions' success. Many have been quoted as saying "The entertainer makes or breaks the event!" The best advise for a bride and Groom in choosing their entertainment is to first "value shop" your entertainment, not "price shop".That role does your entertainment play in your day? Is your entertainment critical to providing the atmosphere at your ceremony as well as your reception? Do you need an entertainer to push the play button or must they also fill the roles of host, emcee, coordinator, entertainer, as well as DJ/Musician? Do they hold a role that is more, or less important than your hors d'oeuvres? Does the personality of the entertainment meet with that of you and your finance?

Many different publications recommend everything from seeing the DJ or Musician where they perform, (Great suggestion for a Musician) to getting a video from them, to testimonials, interview your entertainment. simply sit down on the phone or in person and ask them questions regarding the type of music they play. Know that the person you are speaking with, will be the one who will be there that day. If not, find out if you can meet that person. |

Next, find out if they interact with the crowd? How do they dress? What is there policy on partaking of alcohol? What time will they arrive to compared to when they are supposed to start? Do they have insurance? Is there back-up equipment on location? Are they full-time entertainers? Do they offer any guarantees? Asking these questions will give you the opportunity to get a feel for their personality just by talking with them, and will answer some very critical pieces of information.
