How do I book a band?
Hiring a band for your event can be an unfamiliar and complicated process. SEA not only helps you make the best decision based on your requirements and priorities, we also make it EASY and straightforward.
The Quick Version:
- Decide on the Details
- Pick a Genre
- Determine your Budget
- Browse our selection
- Contact SEA!
Step by Step
First, determine the details of the event - the number of guests, the date of the event, and the location. Make sure that the location is available on that date, and lock it in. At this point, you may need to pay a deposit to insure that the event will go as planned.
Next, consider what genre of music will work best for your event and guests. Take your guests’ ages, preferences, and the nature of the event into consideration. You might really enjoy listening to a certain musician, but is his music appropriate for your party?
Third, determine your budget for talent. This is important. It helps us pick the right band for you.
Now it’s time to browse the available talent on our website and contact the agency. We’ll match you up with an available agent who will consider all these factors and go seek the best options, then present you with the choices based on availability and give you price quotes.
Now you can download audio samples and video clips of our artists to help you make a decision. Once you choose, we’ll present that band with your offer along with the set-up and start times along with details about the location. When the details are agreed upon by both parties SEA will issue a standard performance agreement to you. After the buyer also reviews it, it is signed and returned to SEA along with a 50% deposit (checks or credit cards.)
Then we’ll send it to the band, who has already confirmed your date, for the signature. The fully executed contract is returned to you for your records.
