Wedding booking questions

How do I book an act for my wedding?

Send the enquiry form or WhatsApp us on 07766 333666 with your wedding date, venue and the act you would like. We check availability and come back with fees. When you are happy, we send a booking agreement to confirm.

How far ahead should we book?

Popular acts can be booked up 9 to 18 months ahead, so it is worth asking as soon as you have a date. If your wedding is soon, ask anyway: short-notice bookings are often possible.

Can you hold a date while we decide?

Yes. If you like an act, we can place a short provisional hold on your date while you check with your partner or venue. There is no obligation.

How much does it cost?

Fees depend on the act, how long they perform, travel, crew and production. Tell us your budget and we will show you which acts fit it. We are always clear about any extra costs, such as a hotel room for the act.

How do deposits and payment work?

You pay a deposit to secure the act, and the balance is due one month before the wedding. The booking agreement sets out performance times, fees, cancellation terms and logistics.

Which part of the day can an act cover?

Any part: the ceremony, the drinks reception, the first dance, the evening reception or the after-party. Most couples book a live set or a DJ set for the evening.

What is the difference between a live PA and a DJ set?

A live PA is a short set of the act's hits sung live. A DJ set runs longer and mixes other songs in. Bradley McIntosh of S Club 7 and Tony Mortimer of East 17 both offer DJ sets.

Do the acts bring their own sound system?

No. Our acts do not bring their own sound systems or DJ equipment. Your venue or wedding DJ can usually provide what is needed, and we tell you exactly what that is in advance, for example wireless microphones.

Can a drag artist host our wedding?

Yes. Danny Beard and Baga Chipz can host the evening, introduce the speeches or the first dance, and perform their own set.

Who runs Book For Weddings?

Book For Weddings is run by Fireproof Talent, 71 Grove Road, London E17 9BU (company number 07809506), which also runs Book the 90s, Book the 00s and Book for Pride.
