Wedding Entertainment Advice_When to book?

Wedding Entertainment


One of the most common questions we are asked by couples is when should we book our live entertainment.

1. As soon as possible! Carefully select the live entertainment you really would like to perform at your wedding. Our friendly entertainment co-ordinators have vast experience and will offer helpful advice and information free of charge to help you choose the right entertainment to make your special day unforgettable

2. Once you have chosen the entertainment you would like, please make an availability enquiry with an entertainment co-ordinator. The earlier this is done, the more likelihood there is of the singer, band, tribute act etc being available on your wedding date

3. Please bear in mind that Saturdays are the busiest days for singers, bands etc with Fridays also a popular date

4. Also, please note that Wedding dates from April to September are also generally busier than October to March. December is also naturally a busier month for all artistes

5. If your entertainment is available, on request, your entertainment co-ordinator can place a temporary hold on your chosen artiste for up to 72 hours to allow you time to ensure you are happy to proceed with the booking  

Having said all of the above, with thousands of artistes viewed, reviewed and recommended by the team at Garston Entertainments, we are always able to offer an excellent source of late availability and will always do our best to find the right entertainment for the client, be it a days notice or 3 years in advance!

Its New Systems all go at Garston Entertainments!

After only a few weeks with the company, new employee Katy Wilson has set about to use her previous experience to improve the company administration system. First for overhaul has been the artiste date sheets which have for many years been held in files on paper calendars - Not any more! Katy spent 5 full days adding all the information into a programme which now gives us instant availability on nearly 500 artistes. Bit of an adjustment for us to say the least but we are already beginning to see the benefits of the new system which will save time and impriove efficiency. Next up for Katy is an online booking and diary programme to link in with the date sheets!
