Charleston wedding bands are booked months in advance. However, if you are quick on the draw, you might be able to book at least one of the most popular Charleston wedding musicians on short notice. Live music is always better than some disc jockey on a turntable playing the same old worn-out music you have heard at every wedding since you were six. Here’s how you can check out one of the best solo artists in Charleston and one of the top Charleston wedding musicians.
Find Their Nightly Venues
The first step is to find out where a musician plays nightly. In Charleston, that can be almost anywhere because live music pours out of every bar and many restaurants all the time. However, some of the more popular musicians and Charleston wedding bands post their nightly gigs on their websites, offering potential customers an opportunity to hear them play. As long as it isn’t a private affair or venue, you can check it out.
Connect Between Gigs
Email the band or musician before going to see them play. Arrange to meet with them between sets on stage to talk about hiring them. If you really like what you hear, you can discuss contract details for your own wedding to a special event. Most bands or musicians worth their salt require a deposit to hold your date and play for you, so bring cash or a checkbook when you decide to hear them play in person.
