Think back 20 years. Can you imagine trying to locate musicians for a wedding reception in 1987? There was no Internet, no streaming video and no online audio clips. The search was basically limited to your local Yellow Pages, or nights on end of running all over town so you could listen to prospective DJs or bands perform live at clubs.
If your town (or another close by) didn’t have a band or DJ you liked, you were out of luck. There was no viable way to locate entertainment all across the country. Thankfully, today we do have the Internet. This allows you to have a huge selection of performers at your disposal, which can be previewed either via their own sites or through gig-booking sites. However, this enormous selection and wide geographic spread leads to questions. Here are the top 5 questions you’ll want to ask when hiring performers for your wedding.
