Look, this is a pretty personal one. Our short answer is hell yes – having a bunch of professional musicians that are completely dedicated to making sure your wedding is a fun, joyful celebration with a heaving dancefloor is always a great investment. It’s one that we made for our own big days and wholeheartedly feel made a huge impact on creating the party vibes that we’d hoped for.

But we get you might have questions about making the commitment to book a band or entertainer. So we chatted to Josie who co-runs Event Entertainers (and who is also a lead singer for the amazing wedding ensemble DUKE). This chick knows the wedding entertainment industry inside-out and has kindly agreed to answer any q’s you might have when it comes to wedding musicians, duos, bands – you name it.

Feel welcome to drop any of your queries in the comments section below and we’ll do a follow-up to this piece with Josie’s honest advice.

In the meantime, we asked her some questions we ourselves had – and filmed it. Check out our quick chat below.
