WEDDINGS
Your wedding day
is probably the biggest day of your life, therefore, The Groove Company
tailor each booking to suit your requirements.
What
is included in a wedding package?
Experienced,
reliable, polite musicians who will turn up and be ready to play for
the time stated on the booking form - it cannot be stressed highly enough
how important this is. The evening entertainment is a massive part of
the wedding day & you want to feel confident that everything is
going to run smoothly.
Your
choice of songs to be played on the night - you get to tick the songlist
and make suggestions for the live sets and CDs in-between.
Full
sound system
Stage
lighting
Disco
effects lighting for the dancefloor
Special
1st dance - Provided we are informed at least 4 weeks before the wedding
we can advise whether or not it is possible to perform the 1st dance
live or provide it on CD - the clients preference will always come first
if at all possible.
An enormous
playlist that will entertain all the various age groups present at wedding
receptions. Please see songlists
Disco
CDs during breaks - either background or for dancing.
PAT tested
equipment - although no guarantees can be given to the reliability of
electrical equipment the appliances are regularly maintained and checked.
Public
Liabilty Insurance - some venues will ask you for an insurance certificate
which is available on request.
All travel
expenses
There
is no VAT to pay
Flexible
playing times - the maximum playing time per booking is 2 1/4 hours
- this can be broken into any combination of sets with CDs provided
in all the breaks..
Further options:
Want something different
for the wedding breakfast? If you require something smaller and quieter
for the wedding breakfast how about The Groove Company duo (piano
& sax/flute) playing instrumental versions of pop and jazz songs.
Entertainment during
drinks reception? Sax On TV (saxophone quartet),
playing TV & film themes in this unique style to keep your guests
amused. We also recommend harpists, cocktail
pianists, etc.
If you would like
the band to play outside that is not a problem - the only things we
request are adequate covering (approx. 16 feet by 8 feet for the 4 piece)
to protect against rain or extreme sun. Also, a stable power supply
within a reasonable distance from the stage area. Problems can arise
if it is necessary to run long power cables to the stage area.
It is not necessary
to have a raised stage area although it does look better. The Groove
Company do not supply staging or dancefloors, these would have to be
hired in from a seperate source.
Points to consider:
If you would like to see the band live before making a booking please
contact us to see if there are any suitable engagements in the diary
that potential clients can be invited to. Generally it can be very difficult
to invite people along as The Groove Company perform primarily at private
functions. I'm sure you can understand that a bride & groom (like
yourselves) would not be happy with loads of strangers attending their
reception. If we feel that the engagement is being held at a suitable
location then we can inform you of dates & times to attend. Be wary
if bands say to you, "yes, come along to this wedding or come along
to that wedding" - are they going to have people coming along to
your wedding? Alternatively, we do have a demo CD available on request
- the CD is the same as the soundclips on the website.
The demo is a true live representation of the bands performance, unlike
other demos that you may receive that have been polished in a studio.
