Hiring Corporate Bands – The Right Way

by Justine Smith

If you have a company function coming up and are the person responsible for hiring corporate bands, you will be pleased to know that most bands are equally as happy to play at corporate events as they are on say, birthday, wedding and bar mitzvah occasions. This is great news for you as you can be sure your chosen band will perform a wide variety of music catering for everyone’s taste.

To find corporate bands is not as hard as you may think. Searching online or through the yellow pages for music bands and music agents is a good point to start.

How do I know the band that I am booking is any good for my company? After all you will probably feeling anxious to get a good band that pleases everyone on the day, most importantly your boss! Any good experienced band is going to have its own website or social networking page.

So you have shortlisted the bands you think are suitable, but do you know what kind of music they play? You can find this information out by listening to the songs and watching the videos on the website. It’s also worth looking at the feedback comments of others who have hired the band in the past.

Another way to tell if your chosen band is right for you is to see them at one of their up and coming gigs or give one of their clients listed on their testimonials a ring to ask how good they were.

There are many factors which will make a difference to the fee you will pay for such a service. The time of year the event is being held and how much travelling is involved for the band members are just two of them not to mention how professional and experienced the band are. You can, however, expect to pay around five times more than you would for a typical pub band, but this will be well worth the money, even during these economically difficult times.

Please bear in mind when booking any good band it is very likely that you are going to have to book months in advance just to secure a date with the band.

When dates and terms have been agreed, you have to make sure your venue holds a live music license as this is necessary for the band to carry out their performance. Having done the most important thing and found the right band, if the venue does not have a license, you may have to look for an alternative location for your event. After all, you want everyone attending to enjoy the experience and remember it for how successful it was.

Good corporate bands like to know a few details about where they are playing once you have agreed terms. This can include parking arrangements, the stage area, number of power outlets for the band etc.
