Show and Tell: Alive Network – Entertainment Agency………..Finding The Right Wedding Band For Your Big day

 

Alive Network Entertainment Agency

This afternoon, the Blog is all about Wedding Entertainment. Finding the right wedding band for your big day can be harder than you think! And as a planner it is something I always advice my couples to do sooner rather than later in their planning schedule  A good band or DJ can make or break the wedding reception, you don’t want your guests to be sat around not dancing all night, so hiring the right band is something you really need to get right.

As a plannerI know the good ones, have seen many play and can advice accordingly, but what if you don’t have  planner? In this instance then using an Entertainment agency to hire a band is the next best thing! By using an agency you have a whole range of entertainment to choose from, all of which have been vetted and will come with testimonials and feedback.
I have invited Richard from Alive Network onto the Blog today to tell you more about the agency and the benefits of using one.
