What you need to know before Booking

What is the typical duration of a booking?
- Musician bookings are counted by sets of 30mins or 45mins. These sets need to be within a 3 hour block.

What about Sound Checks?
- The sound check for the band should be scheduled no more than 2 hours before the event starts.
- A typical sound check will take from 30mins to 1 hour.

What would the Musicians require?
- They would need an audio system they can hook up to and an audio technician that can adjust the highs, mids and lows for their instruments.
- They would also require a pair of audio monitor speakers so they can hear themselves and adjust their volume or pitch of their performance.
- Preferably, they would also have a holding room or space that they can rest in between their sets.
- Musicians will also require food to be arranged as they would not have time to pop out to get food while they are on standby for your show.
- Please also ensure enough space and time for them to set up and remove their instruments in between sets.

Do I need an External Audio System?

Can I use the audio system provided by the venue?
- Typically, venue in-house systems can be used for announcements and background music which is more than adequate for basic conferences and workshops as well as weddings.
- Most venue systems have a Compression System in place that reduces the overall dynamic range of the audio output by cutting it when it surpasses a certain level. Very often, this level is just above regular vocal range. This is done to protect their audio system from misuse but also has the unfortunate effect of dampening the vocal range of singers and instruments as well as audio tracks played by an entertainer.
- Should you have an event that has any form of live music (DJs, Bands, Professional Entertainers, or emcees w/ their DJs); the venue will often advise you to engage an external AV vendor.
- Please note that venues equipped with ceiling speakers are not ideal for DJs, live bands, or any form of high-impact music, as these speakers typically lack the necessary low-frequency response and bass capabilities.

What do I need to check with the venue if I am engaging a band for my event
- You will need to let your venue know that you will be having an Band for your event and if the Band can tap onto their system.
- Also, you will need to ask if their in-house technician is able to mix the settings for the band.
- They would also need to to provide a minimum of 2 x audio monitors for the performance.

- Yes, we do provide audio, visual and lighting systems suitable for most events. Please do check out our Equipment section for more information. Alternatively, you can also consider our Event Planning Bundles for a package that is suitable for your event.
