So you've just got engaged! It's now time for the excitement to begin. You've
got a wedding to plan! At this point you've probably got a lot of questions
running through your mind. Where do you begin? What questions should I ask
vendors? Where am I going to get the money? Wait, how much money are we talking
about? On the contrary to what most couples believe, wedding planning can
actually be fun. With proper planning and allocated time to complete it you can
create your truly unique and exciting Chicago Wedding reception.
When it comes to the entertainment portion of your reception this should be
treated with care as with all your other very important wedding details. The
entertainment seems to be one of, if not the most important components to a
reception. Sure, the food, decorations, and socialization are very important but
without entertainment, these events would take on an entirely different
personality.
For affairs that are focuses around the entertainment, or at least ones where
it is responsible for a major role in the success or failure of the event, some
serious considerations must be taken when hiring the right wedding entertainment.
Will you find the right entertainment by hiring the one that answers the
phone first or the one that has the lowest price or would you select one just
because they live in your hometown? These are actually several things you should
consider before selecting your entertainer:
Is the entertainer experienced in providing services for your event type?
This question can't just be answered in a yes or no question either. You'll want
someone who knows the ropes. How much experience do you want your entertainer to
have? Consider getting a list of references from previous clients.
Is your entertainer insured? Every legitimate business has insurance. This
may not seem important upfront, but heaven forbid something were to happen at
your event. Are you willing to hire an entertainer without it? Ask your
entertainer for his proof of property AND liability insurance.
With so much riding on the success of your event your entertainment should
never be over looked. There should be several factors that come into play rather
than just price when shopping for your wedding entertainment. Don't ever be
afraid to ask questions as the entertainment will have a direct impact on the
entire success of your reception.
