Some Practical Advice:
|
 |
-
Before
you book your entertainment, check references, verify
experience, and discover if the company delivers on their
promises.
-
Verify
equipment used. Some entertainers use hand-me-downs or
the cheapest equipment they can get by with because they
shop by price or simply cant afford quality. Imagine not
being able to understand the announcements, hearing hiss or
a buzz during the entire event or having part of your
beautifully decorated event contain an eyesore of wires and
beat up equipment.
-
Make
sure your contract includes contingencies for the event in
which the entertainer is ill or otherwise cannot attend your
event.
-
Verify
entertainer's insurance coverage. Every legitimate business
has insurance.
-
Work
with the entertainer and tailor the event to your
specifications. Verify can and cannot dos in advance,
to avoid problems and misunderstandings during the ceremony.
-
Your
contract should detail what services are included
-
Verify
if there any hidden or extra charges for expected services,
such as travel expenses.
