Planning an event is hard work and there are three things that can completely ruin even the best planned event: the venue, the food and the entertainment. So how do you know if you are booking good or bad entertainment? How do you know what choices to make? What steps can you take to avoid disaster?
My last piece of advice would be to try and see whoever you book in person before committing to a booking. As wonderful as show reels and demo CD’s are they don’t necessarily give you an honest picture of their performance. You need to see what they are like when in front of a live audience. Can they work a crowd? Are they professional? Do they dress appropriately? Try before you buy and do your homework. A little investment upfront saves a lot of hassle further down the track and will give you peace of mind. For more information like this visit the Australian Academy of Wedding and Event Planning
