Is podcast is brought to you by what my reading the UK's most influential wedding Brandt. Hello yesterday. Are you on the third seats in the third season? Yeah. Oh handmade style for anyone. That's like what I just heard about just can't I'm it scares me that whole program. I think it I think it's brilliant in terms of I do need to get some days. It's like nothing else I've ever watched ever handmade style Netflix completely going off topic now, but you can try to force welcome. I'm just doing I'm finishing killing Eve and then perhaps I'll go back over to handmaids. We've not start. Second series yet. So if any of you are really stressed with wedding planning, I need a bit of a break listening to this for, you know, a bit of a rest or for advice get yourself in front of the Telly. Yeah, that's that's copies of advisor killing. He's hammers tail. Yeah through them with a cup of tea and then come back to this as we talked Everything Entertainment. Mmm. Just before we do get crackin. I just wanted to extend a large. Thank you to everyone for all your continued a lovely support with the podcast and you'll see back is amazing. It is it's quite interesting because a lot of things have evolved over the years. I've been doing what my wedding and we don't really hear from people on the blog as a search anymore. So you kind of sometimes A bit blind. You see how many views it's got anything. Wow, thousands of people looking at it, but then he think didn't like it. I really think that well, you know, I was back in the day. You're right. There was so many are commenting. Yeah discussion with the community and whereas we get a lot of DM's now through Instagram yet mostly complimenting us on podcasts and making suggestions. So that's really different. It is organized. So, please keep better than us because we do read them all and you've been great interacting with all that Instagram poles and stuff as well as that It's really fun for us and you can email us as well. If you'd like to if you prefer that Medium of communication, it's podcast at what my wedding doctor at UK. It's quite self-explanatory. But yeah, just a little thanks before we start getting into this episode going back to Instagram. We put a poll up about what percentage of your budget you're spending on entertainment and I was quite impressed with how people appear to know their budgets like you all obviously have a good idea of what is spending the average seems to be somewhere between 5 and 10% Which is good because our budget guide suggested about 7% So yeah, we were pretty accurate with that. There was obviously fluctuations in that some people weren't spending anything on entertainment nothing at all. And some people were spending much more you need some people as 15 percent of their budget one person of a spending thirty percent of their budget. Mine are entertainment event that 20% Did you come on that later? Yes, we will or one reader zeb's is spending four percent on an evening buttoned. Where's Jordan at Ashley's spending about 400 pounds on her photo booth which equates to two percent. Scent of her budget and as I said, some people aren't don't have any budget for entertainment man on C Williams suggested that conversation is the best entertainment. She's not wrong people love a good catcher. But why didn't they do? I think that's it's a place people take the opportunity to really have a good catch up with people haven't seen for ages. Yeah, and that's the whole when people comment about night not going overboard because there is a Temptation it when you sort of get into it like let's out and then what happens when that finishes all we need something else knowing that vision is something outside were actually people might if there's just nothing all day. Yeah, your guests are going to miss something because Point after a drink they want to chat to you know, their friends. They might not have seen for a while and I think so don't feel the need to have to provide entertainment every poll of the you're absolutely right. We're going to start by talking about music. So this is not an episode specifically about music, but I think we both agree that music is a large part of the entertainment analyzing. Yeah. Well, yes, isn't it? Yeah, so it's going to take probably a quite a big chunk of this episode. But let's see how we get on anyway. First thing to think about with your music is think about what kind of vibe you want to create for your day. So, for example, if you're having a black-tie wedding, you don't necessarily want to have a country band because they're not going to fit in with your theme and the feet the vibe that you're trying to create for your day. Unless you give them a basket full of cowboy hats unless you have all these what quite you know, what your day you always do what you like. I'm just and you give me all the ideas. I like wow, that's huge in that my sister's wedding. But you know what you mean, as you know what I mean consider. Yeah what you're trying to create in terms of like you'll see when the feel the Ambiance that's it of like when Alison been were talking about their wedding in season 2 there guy turned up and he forgot to get changed and he was just in his jeans and a shirt. You might not be happy with that. If you're having a black-tie wedding is my point you might you might want them to leave and then my lollipops in on a wrecking ball might just not Be what you'd imagine, you know, so yes, so think about the whole vibe you're trying to create and then you can think about what parts of your day you want to have music in so you can have music during your ceremony in your drinks reception. That's probably going to be the same musicians. I would imagine because they're very very close together from all the weddings. I've been to and all the wedding's we featured I'd say that's a good 90% Yeah of how that works. Absolutely. Hmm, and I do It for this part of your day. Although you might want upbeat songs. You need them to be performed in a certain way. You don't want something totally crazy and erratic. This is a really important. Well, it's the most important part of the day isn't it? You were about to do your vows and get married. So you want something soft gentle head back a little bit not too in-your-face because again people are coming in and they're seeing each other for the first time friends might that might not have seen each other for ages. So when people are coming into the ceremony and sitting down everyone's time to quick chat. Up before the whole thing kicks off. So you just want to keep it quite mellow I would say anyway, I've not yet. I've never been to a ceremony where it's there's been Rock Band on know for example. Yeah. Well there I still want to go to another Gospel Choir on. Oh my God, but how amazing would that be really amazing? Oh my God, but again as the music that you're choosing for that particular bit. IO everyone's coming into the ceremony room and certainly for the bride and a groom coming down the aisle then. Want something that's not going to overpower the scene. That's the should we say it to compliment? Yes. You're not free to Ott. I think we spoke to List member tobyh music who are a Duo that play a double bass and acoustic guitar and they generally play for ceremonies and some of the drinks reception. So I thought it'd be interesting to get an Insight from them on how long I usually play for you know it do they take requests things like that. So we ask them a couple questions and this is What they had to say less is more and it's not that we get off playing it's because access to become special if they're playing all night a speciality is ceremony and kind of pays so 15 minutes prior to the ceremony then three songs during the ceremony and then 45-minute kind of piece set. Which has how nice does that sound? Yes that covers off everybody get into the ceremony. I guess you're signing of the register. Yeah and walking up the aisle. I'm assuming yeah, I guess so. Yeah and then June yeah, and then a good 45 minutes when everybody's out and having a kind of paying a nice glass of bubbly and she says trust me when I say this is enough for speciality acts. If you've hired a full five piece band than I would say probably for 40 minutes set should be the maximum. We really put our heart and soul into what we do and at the end of three thirty minutes, they're pretty spent. So that's if they go on and do sets in the evening she finishes by saying so I'd say choose something special for your ceremony and kind of pays the neither a band or a DJ take over. At the end so you can wipe it up a little bit. I had them a quartet the fuhrer my wedding you did so they did the ceremony so they played for about I think about 20 minutes or so as people sort of like coming in sitting down then they did the song that I walked up the artery which I requested from the I was actually on the wrappers for r k so they essentially had to learn it yet. It's worth asking actors. Obviously some of them older they might if they asses they have to all get together and practice their might want to charge a back. My particular abandoned and then they played during sign the register and then when I went back down the aisle again and they then played for an hour or so part of the canapes and drinks reception and okay, which is really lovely because there was a mixture of us saying some songs that we really liked. Yeah picking some that were already on, you know their list and them telling us what they found sort of Drew the crowd if you like so, it's always good to Get advice from your band because they're the people that experience. So even though you might really want them to play it. Yeah, I think it's really nice to give them a brief yet of what you want. But also take their advice on cook. Yeah. It's a no then experienced people in. Yeah. Absolutely. Why did you choose a string quartet just because that was the kind of a spaz out the venue and the theme of our wedding. I was talking earlier. Yeah. It was that kind of I don't know. It's quite it was very romantic. Yeah, and I just Brady love it. Yeah, I repairs no perspective. And there's no other occasion in my life. I was ever going to have a string quartet. Yeah. So for me, it was like from a ceremony. That's what I'm going to have and I referred to earlier we spent almost twenty percent of our budget on entertainment because for James and I that was something that was really important to us for me far more important more important than fashion flowers any of those things. We love music. Yeah. So on I wanted to incorporate Oh Chet. I had a Pianist for art just after the wedding breakfast yet. And then we had a full Mike essentially Rock Band for the evening and and when our guests sort of spoke about our wedding afterwards nearly all of them. The one thing they mentioned was music like so perfect. So enjoyed it. I'll know so enjoyed it all day and you know, it was great and the songs are great. And yeah people on the dance floor right up until literally the Clock Struck midnight and we had to turn it off. Yeah, but yeah, we so for me it was like it was money. Well spent yeah, see we spent hardly any of our budget on music or entertainment. Really. We had a set of playlists and we use the venue's PA system and it was hooked up to back in the day and iPad and that's what controlled most of our music all the way through the ceremony. Any their wedding breakfast was even all the background music to that was through the PA system and then we had a deejay on the evening who was my friends uncle so we just gave him a huge playlist and he and he took over at the end. So we hardly spent any bit that work for you know, it was perfect for us. Yeah. Are you gonna yeah. So like we say always your day your way to totally different, you know ideas but Behind the Music and entertainment we've both equally had the best Days of Our Lives. So yeah, it is all about doing what's most important to you talking about you having a quartet and just something I wanted to touch on is a way of having that classical element of a wedding with a Twist. We've got a supplier on the list called Joel Granger and he's a violinist but he plays with a loop pedal. Yes, if you guys seen his demo videos, no amazing. It's just a make people aware that these these really classic art. Forms, but available in such a more modern form so you can get a real mixture of both the classic and the modern and to be fair string quartets these days they're play all pop music as well and it just sounds so it sounds so good. So don't be put off by a string quartet if you think all the going to be a Mozart and that means nothing to you because largely maybe they will put some classic stuff in there but there's loads of modern songs and play as well. So if you like the thought of it but you put off by the idea of it being Classical it's not classical necessarily in that sense. Is it anyhow, it's very easy. Very cool ways towards the like if you hit at it now you're looking for take your band you listen to their demos and yeah, they're really great. Actually repertoire isn't quite right just send them an email. Yeah my ask them. Yo definitely do this you or anything else. Yeah, my sister booktube and for her wedding that was last month and she looked at their playlists and initially. She's like Sony and if you honor I don't but it would Just that they didn't have their entire playlist one on the website because I suppose what's the point and and also that they were like quite up firm requests. Yeah. Well, that's good, isn't it? Yeah, and it's not like, you know certain songs. They didn't necessarily have on their list that they would play at every wedding given the chance yet, but there was some songs that she requested that they played before. Yeah. Sure. So yeah, we'll just always asking yeah, it wasn't question. Yeah, and we were talking the other day weren't we when we were trying to put this content together about other forms of Live musical entertainment. We very almost had a steel drum band at our wedding very very nearly and part of me wishes maybe that we kind of had of done it to have it the drinks reception to really get people in the mood for what's to come in the wedding breakfast and evening and we're seeing we see quite a few mariachi bands as well. Don't worry, which I just think must be absolutely brilliant. And again, I've never seen one. I mean even like in real life definitely getting I'm more popular. Yeah, and I know Simon who edits the podcast he's well up for a mariachi band Yes there they've really lives filmed some weddings when they had them in this and we've got one on the list. So if that's up your street, you can go and check them out list again. It's all to do with that set in the tone of your day, isn't it? Yeah, choose the music and orb and that's representative of you and your day don't feel cornered into hand. What is traditional when you can have whatever it's like I was saying because it was like quite romantic and it Doesn't mean that we had to have well, yes, it just thought I chose could have had the steel drums with the dogs been amazing. Yeah, so we've covered up ceremony drinks reception. Then it's down to the wedding breakfast. I mentioned that we just use an iPod full of plate with a playlist on your as we had similar for that. Yeah, and I've seen lots of people do it off their mobile phones because obviously now you don't need an iPod you can do everything obvious Spotify playlist or whatever you use on your phone. My number one tip with that is make sure that the phone is on air. Airplane mode which is not something everyone thinks of the last thing you want is someone's phone ringing. I'm getting a text message halfway through and it cut in the music out and just going to put them and in terms of music for the evening. You've got three main options really so create your own playlist. Like we've just talked about and let it be controlled by trustworthy friend or to be warned as the night goes on that phone's going to get passed around and that playlist is going to get forwarded and rewound and yoram merry friends will probably take There are we question. Yes. So that's your first option make your own playlist. Your second option is have a DJ and your third option is to have a band or DJ unbuttoned. I suppose it's optional but yet because a lot of bands is that's a good thing to put out will offer to operate your playlist for you. Yeah, that's what I was did so we essentially gave them off of think the back that it was also an iPad, but would now be a phone or whatever it is. Yeah, and they then played it through there and make sure obviously sounds really great. Yeah because actually the venue. Use sound system wasn't as good as the band that makes sense. So they left their am out by right up until the last minute and then packed everything else away. Oh brilliant whilst they left out. Yeah. That's a really good question to ask you band isn't it about and we'll come on to that in just a second. What what happens when they're not playing? Yes, do they do J or do you need another DJ or what's the deal with that? We spoke to the mini big band who are a vintage swing band and ask them a couple questions to give you a bit of an insight as to what they do. On an evening wedding. They said we played to 60 Minutes sets a standard. However, we can do one long set if required. We then provide a free preset DJ service on iPad for before in between and after assets. This can work really well. But we do say that if you've plenty of time to fill are you going on to 1 a.m. Then a couple should really get their own DJ as well. So that goes that's similar to what we were just saying, isn't it where they will do that DJ, sir? Service in between their sets. I also asked them if they do requests because like we were just saying if the repertoire list is not right for you you really like the band is that something they cater for and they said we have a massive repertoire list. If it's on there, we're happy to perform it. We do take all the requests. Also some more quirky. We're always happy to help and try although if we feel that the instrumentation isn't right. Then we leave it. We've been requested rap tunes before and we're a swing band. So that's that's that goes back to be realistic. Your request expectations a rap songs, not moving a suit swing band is it and then can you can adapt song but it might be a little Touch Too Far. Yeah, we do charge a little for songs not in our repertoire which covers them being specifically arranged by our 10-piece band. So you said that as well didn't you that there might be an extra charge for? Yeah, and so if they have to practice they got to get together and practice that if anyone it to be right not in the relational, yeah. So again, just ask the questions and ones will be more than happy to answer any questions that you You've got I also approached the Redford's band which are also on the list to ask them. The three most requested songs that are guaranteed to get guests of all ages on the dance floor. So you might want to add these to your lists people your playlist Uptown Funk Mark Ronson 500 Miles The Proclaimers each their own and mr. Brightside by The Killers and we just say it's their own. There's the latter two on my list. - two miles of Proclaimers was what got everybody on the Dance Floor. I love everyone even my name but then the red fatigue no we're talking about do I also asked them about learning request specifically and they said that the Redford's will learn the first and father-daughter dance at no extra cost how lovely that so if that's out of their repertoire, they'll throw that in for free one thing to bear in mind. The band is might seem really obvious. But considering I've been doing this job for many years more than obvious to me. Is that some bands offer? A different amounts of people at different prices. So when I bought mine they were the band and there were six people in it and that was the cost and that was it right so I didn't even think to ask for anything else. Yeah, whereas some bands will have a starter cost yet safe or three members, although you might get like a keyboard player a guitarist and a singer but you might be able to pay extra to then get an additional singer. Okay, or drums. Yeah or whatever it might be. So it's They worth making sure that you really fully understand what you're going to get for the cost and how those costs if you get a much bigger band can escalate in terms of the space that you might need. You might need extra lighting you're going to need extra food because just FYI, you have to feed your suppliers obviously there for hours. I got to set up everything. I was looking at third so, you know paying for food for three years are different for paying for food for 10. Yeah. So bear that in mind as well when you putting all those costs together. Yeah. Yeah, I think throwing money at it doesn't necessarily make it better sometimes now, I imagine it can make it worse or more stressful. Yeah, you know, they've got to fit into a tiny space or yeah, there's much more production that goes behind it, isn't it? And yes sort of things. So yeah good point. Another thing to think about when it comes to bands. I'm just going back to the episode. We recorded with Ben and Alice in CZ reused to of the podcast that was episode 7 if you want to go and catch up on that is don't be fearful of using a music agency to book your band. He made a really Point that people feel like if they haven't spoken to the band directly. Yeah, then it's going to be a night where they feel that it's need to have to speak to them directly but actually don't need to because you know, obviously these lists into the right ye need to know. Yeah, you need something actually happy with them. But yeah, you're not necessarily going to deal face-to-face with the band now and that's that's okay. That's the way a lot of bands. Yeah. And yeah, that's the age this is job exactly. So it's the agency have got a good reputation. Then absolutely know what they're doing. Yeah. So from bands to GJ's only real quick thing to say on DJ's I suppose is always trying to see a DJ before you book them. If you can or at least get a recommendation or make sure they've got a good website so you can hear how well they are and yet what they're you know what they bring with them. Do they have the right lighting and things like that for you to get the full effect the air after one point to make about DJ's is to make sure you know exactly what you're getting and what is in your DJ's repertoire and they have the music that you like. So it's a really good idea to have a good chat with your DJ and a consultation if you can so you can be really upfront about it because for example, it's there's no point me being totally into Indie book. My DJ doesn't have any Indie music on his lighthouse it is exactly but you'll find the more you investigate DJ's that there's certain DJ's will have bigger repertoires with certain things because that's their especially understand exactly if you go in there. List and you look at the best men, for example there DJ's that we have on Supply directory who specialize in Indy. So if that's your kind of vibe and that's what you want most of it your wedding your better to have a specialist supplier like them. Yes, then, you know, just whoever the venue was recommended to you because they might not have anything that you want to listen to. So yeah, all I'm saying basically is research your DJ and make sure that they're going to be able to play a playlist that you really really happy with. Yeah, and that you think will end. Tay majority of your guests yet as well if in doubt visit the list and pick one from our supplier direct yet because we can promise you that they will be top-notch. Okay. So just to recap on the music element of the entertainment a couple of things just to bear in mind. So always check your timings with the venue. So how long has your DJ / band got to set up? What time can they arrive at the venue from? Where do they need to come back door front door at me? How does it work with yet? Where can they Park Reserve that but a lot of equipment? They unload the van through a side door or what. It might be. Make sure you ask that what time are they allowed to play their last song? What time is absolute cutoff for that? And also a point to remember is just check if your venues got a sound limiter because that might mean that your band has to restrict the volume to a certain which we have to say. Can I have quite a detrimental effect on yet the overall effects absolute and we've heard, you know various stories about venues who? You have quite a restriction like and and you know, and some bands have also heard will actually refused to play those venues because it's if it's not going to sound as it's supposed to do if you can't if they can't place their full potential then that's up to their reputation. And also it's the whole experience that your guests are going to have on the dance floor is yet it's so so just double check if there's a sound limiter and then you can discuss that with you band ever that suits them and if there is because you know, sometimes there are reasons why there is but the venue is like Like I really wanted to find you silent disco silent just saying this go boom. They're becoming much more popular aren't ya? I've never been to one again. Yeah, it was nice to create a wedding back. He's gonna go through these people from actual now. I know never had some steel drums and I had a gospel choir never had a silent disco our weddings in the vehement, but they are great and we get more wedding submitted these days don't we that have had time? Yeah goes. Yeah. I'm actually ones were like TP wedding. Things like that was to be outside in the countryside. Yeah, and you've got to be careful of like noise residents and everything else that might live nearby. Yeah. So that's another form of entertainment to consider as well. We put a second Instagram pull out about what your main forms of entertainment were. What do you think was the most popular answer out of any form of entertainment what you think they're identical one? See I said I abandon a DJ right Band still number one by a mile as well a band hit massively over everything else. The second most popular thing people having his photo booth. Okay. I love a photo but I do Anthony did tests them. He's like, I'm not getting in there with you all night getting this photo op right on a smile on. Yeah, and we've got loads of photobooth on the list. You can go and see one that I particularly like is the little red bus so you can use that as a form of Transport which can now as analyte take your guests the yeah, which is like vendor bit of a start of the entertainment because it's you know, yeah, we're cool. Short bus and then that turns into photo booth afterwards. How cool is that either? Yeah, I really like that idea. And you had a prop box didn't you your yeah. I didn't your own DIY photo booth. Yeah signs got some props. Mr. Cost about a tenner. Everyone has a whale of a time we've got one of our messages on our Instagram Paul was from yarema gasps. I'm sorry, but I'm pronouncing that incorrectly. She's having board games and a photo booth area that she sourcing or herself as well as the stability and that's a good point night. I know. So this is as we designed the minutes very music heavy because that is like the main focus of entertainment for weddings with assets has been proved by the Instagram people dude, but also it says she joined the drinks reception of thing, you know, you're having an outdoor wedding weather's great Garden games massively popular. Yeah Paul and we love this whole up slightly recycling. So we don't want to buy new yet have a look on eBay Absalom if your friends had a great wedding with some games. Yeah, you know, baby but her Chase or borrow those of them great for kids. Yes, really good, especially Yeah, so you can I you can have things specifically perhaps more idle focused. Yeah, there may be a little game of croquet. Yes. Why not but one of our most pinned images from a dedicated entertainments Pinterest board, which you should also check out our link to that in the show notes is of high Striker, which is the thing, you know, where your smack the thing and then the Bell goes up and that's trapped like the strong one thing where your concession here. I because Becky sends me some of the The light notes for the podcast and I saw the highest ranked outside, right? What did I ask what this is because I should probably know thinking it was some kind of like football-related game. I was a bit of a lead on the old wedding entertainment, but now I understand whether you go for anyone else. Who does that sound a thing is that you have to work with a mallet tip the by Striker High Striker. So that just goes to show that the garden games carnival-type Fairground pipe coconut oil. I went to the fate of the weekend. Kids absolutely loved and then it even thought in that bothered about what the prize was there anything with literally just the act of doing it the active smashing the coconut off standing one of our other most pinned images as well as of a DIY photo booth of frames hanging from a tree outside and then the people put their faces in them basically and then you take photos simple. But yeah just a really nice form of entertainment. Everyone wants a nice photo don't they? So things like that work really? Well Amy Rose were 13. She had a lot of stuff she had Hello, Justin. Uh, yeah Casino tables the caricaturist a crepe van a photo booth a coconut Saloon check her out. She was it's this whole earlier I said I was thing again. That's sorry speak out about that Saloon. She was you know, and at the high Striker. Yeah and what I liked about her entertainment is that she saw her crate van as a form of entertainment, isn't it what you want? Making it is exactly, you know, you get you know, something to discuss like have a conversation with with with people that you might not know that well. I don't know if everyone at the wedding exactly absolutely other forms of entertainment high on our Instagram poll list were we've just said the garden games they came up third in the list quickly followed by a DJ. So DJ was at forth. Okay, yeah in the list and then following that was magicians. Okay, you've been touring with magician before haven't you been to few have you been doing? I've not been to one single one. Yeah, but James my the heartless bit of magic. Yeah only because he tries to work out how they do it and know it ruin it for himself. The other thing we're seeing on the rise is tattoo and glitter stations as well face painting for adults is a she who got like a festival theme wedding very cool. Yeah, exactly and it's this whole like a piece of Jack or yeah guess participation. Yeah double whammy so anything like that or you know, like we've mentioned several Podcasts that this whole Bake-Off dessert station throughout giving it like says that we mention the creative an earlier giving people something great to eat The Conversation Piece something to look at and they get to have some okay. Yeah. Absolutely. It's doubling your value of your money yet. Exactly. It is one of the other things I really liked that came up on our Instagram poll was Sarah case Wayne said for her entertainment. I had a bus. Guy who played Loop hurdles that I found in Camden? How cool is that? Yeah, so she's your mother seems that you are a scam and play my literally watched him in Camden and thought you were pretty good. Would you play at my wedding please? Why not love that absolutely love that as I mentioned earlier. You can go to our designated Pinterest board find loads more ideas for entertainment including things that we've not even talked about like drag acts rodeos mini golf which is becoming more and more popular and I guess we need to end it by just saying a reminder not to overcomplicate it. Man with your entertainment like you said at the start allow your guests time to speak to each other. You don't need to have something fill in every second of the day because then people don't get to catch up and because they want to catch up there miss out on whatever entertainment you've got. Ya so don't over complicate things stick with your budget. Ask questions. Ask as many questions to these suppliers as you need to especially when it comes to your music as well. Yeah, actually you're getting exactly what you want. And you know what you're paying for. Yeah, cuz they're obviously the most expensive. Yeah form of entertainment and make sure Sure that your Venue here are booking a designation of any rather than the housing itself what their restrictions are what their timings are what the access is. So and you know, tell them who you've got books. Yeah and what their expectations are so that everyone is on the same page indeed think that's it Charles II think that's it.
