BOOK THE BAND
Once you have decided that The Brass Monkeys are the act 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, 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
The Brass Monkeys will arrive fully self-contained with PA and lighting and will cover your whole evening of entertainment, so you don't need to hire a separate act or any additional equipment.
If your evening reception is in the same room as the meal/speeches, the act 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) they 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 a minimum of 90 minutes for the band to get fully set up and sound checked.
A guide to a standard evening reception would be:
- 17:45 - Act Arrive
- 19:00 - Background Music On
- 20:15 - First Dance - into DJ live show
- 00:00 - Close
Timings are flexible to suit your needs. Brass Monkeys 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 Brass Monkeys can also cover your day music - with the option for an instrumental sax 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 act for your daytime entertainment.
To discuss hiring The Brass Monkeys to perform at your wedding please call Tailored Entertainment for a friendly chat on 0800 564 2240, or email info@the-brass-monkeys.co.uk.
