BOOK THE BAND:

Once you have decided that Festival Nights are the band for you Tailored Entertainment will send a booking contract to you to confirm the booking. The contract features all the important details for the day and once you have signed, the band will sign a copy and confirm the booking in their diary. We ask for a deposit to secure the booking, with the balance payable by bank transfer seven days ahead of the day.

PLANNING:

In the lead up to the wedding you are very welcome to contact us any time to discuss the plan for the day. Around four weeks before the day the experienced team at Tailored Entertainment will contact you to go over the final details - timings, first dance, song requests for the disco or DJ, final payment details etc. All of the details will be recorded and sent to the band in one simple final confirmation email, so you can be sure nothing will get missed and everything discussed will happen as planned on the night.

ON THE NIGHT:

Festival Nights will arrive fully self-contained with PA (managed by professional sound engineer), lighting and ready with their pre-mixed DJ service (or a band member can DJ if you add this to your booking) and will perform 2 hours of live music (2 x 60 or 3 x 40 minute live sets). The band will cover your whole evening of entertainment so you don't need to hire a separate DJ or any additional equipment.

If your evening reception is in the same room as the meal/speeches, the band would usually arrive to set up in the turnaround time between day and evening. If the room or area for your evening is separate (or curtained off) the band could arrive while you are eating to get set up (they would sound check when suitable and wouldn't interrupt the meal or speeches!) - it takes up to 90 minutes for the band to get fully set up and sound checked.

A guide to a standard evening reception would be:

  • 17:30 - Band Arrive
  • 19:00 - Background Music On
  • 20:00 - First Dance/First Set (60 mins)
  • 21:00 - Disco/DJ (ideal time for evening buffet)
  • 22:00 - Second Set (60 mins)
  • 23:00 - Disco/DJ Until Close

Timings are flexible to suit your needs and live sets can be split 3 x 40 mins if you prefer. Festival Nights’ standard price is based on them arriving at 17:00 earliest and finishing as late as 00:00. For an early arrival or late finish outside of these times, there is an additional charge.

The band are very happy to perform your choice of first dance for you as long as they have at least three weeks notice of the song choice.

Festival Nights also offer a brilliant live lounge-style acoustic set, this is the perfect addition to your drinks reception and can really help set the mood for a great celebration. As the musicians are already booked to perform in the evening, the price of this set represents excellent value when compared to hiring a separate band for your daytime entertainment - it can be as much as 75% cheaper than hiring an equivalent act.

To discuss hiring Festival Nights to perform at your wedding please call Tailored Entertainment for a friendly chat on 0800 564 2240, or email info@festivalnightsband.com.

Festival Nights are based in London in the UK and available for hire within the city as well as East Anglia, NorfolkBuckinghamshireHertfordshire as well as across the South East including Guildford, Brighton and Portsmouth and many more locations including internationally.

“We want to say the biggest thanks to you all. You were all absolutely incredible! Literally every single guest has commented on how epic the band were and that we’ve never known a band get EVERYONE up and dancing from beginning to end!! You were so relaxed and looked to be enjoying yourselves too which was great. Your professionalism, warmth and fun was amazing and made our wedding one to remember!! Your music style is great with such an eclectic repertoire. I could go on with praise! Thank you also for seamlessly setting up before 5pm and performing an awesome version of Ray Charles “I got a woman” for us. I have passed on your details to many guests and honestly can’t wait to book you again! BEST BAND EVER! Keep doing what you’re doing guys- we love you all!”
