How’s your wedding file looking? Teeming with glossy literature from numerous photographers, florists and venues?
The question I should really ask you is this – “How much information do you have?” The birth of the ‘Wedding file’ has probably been largely due to 2 things, 1, The rise of the internet and the mass of choices and options we can now easily access, and 2, That little business person inside all of us that says “I’m not going to trust my 1st choice, let’s do some research!”
In the area of entertainment the choices are vast. Firstly you must choose what sort of musical entertainment you would like (Singer, band, guitarist etc) and then you must make a choice within that choice. To cut to the point, the questions you ask are far more important than what you are told in the brochures and glossy promotional material.
Here are 10 things that you should consider before making a booking and handing over that deposit:
1. TALENT
Each person’s subjective opinion will differ slightly; however, I think we all know when we hear something that sounds bad. The only way to truly grade a person’s talent is to compare it against the majority. What I would do, for example, is to find as many pop bands as I can, listen to all of their demos, then compare them, eventually finding my favourite sound. To do this effectively you will need to close yourself off to the shiny promotional banners, and just listen.
2. IMAGE
If you’re having a black tie event, you don’t want to be dazzled by the sparkles of a cheesy male soloist, twirling 360 degrees on one foot and flashing his Jazz hands at you. Your entertainment has to be consistent and compliment the style of your wedding.
By listening to or seeing a singer/band/DJ you can generally get a feel for the atmosphere they would create each time they perform. How they dress and present themselves speaks volumes.
3. COST
You pay for what you get!….Don’t you?
Justifying a price is really the last task, after asking all of the right questions and seeing/ hearing everything there is to see/hear. If you can justify spending

Help answer the question about music entertainment
I'm throwing a 60th bday party for Mom in Aug. What kinds of entertainment, type of music, etc is expected?What have others done for the parent's 50, 60, or 70th birthdays?
The party is during the day (12-4pm). She wants to have dancing but thinks that no one will want to dance in the afternoon. The venue is an outdoor tented area adjacent to a Yacht Club/boathouse on a pier for 80-100 people.
Personally, with the right entertainment/music I think people will dance. Plus, we are throwing her a really nice party, it is not completely ideal for her because it is not in the evening.
Anyway, any suggestions are welcome if they worked or didn't work for your parent's birthday.
Thanks!

I'd say major in Journalism and minor in Music. This will look the best on job apps. A good internship is also a must.
Im totally digging how this is a send up/mockery of the standard rock star lifestyle.
And most of the comments are how awesome that lifestyle is.
Like the message didnt get through at all.
And Im not really sure they get high a lot, mainly because in an interview at their house they said they never do any hard drugs and dont smoke weed that often.
Plus, you can think of this stuff sober. Its not like musicians are known for being uncreative.
Also, Mitch Mitchell fucking rules.
That is all.
