Wedding tips and hints

1. Make the most of your vendors.

When hiring a band for your wedding reception, don't forget about the cocktail hour and even the ceremony. Many bands can easily accommodate your cocktail hour's musical needs; oftentimes you can pull a piece or two out of your band to play music for your cocktail hour for a modest additional fee. You may even be able to utilize these musicians for your ceremony if it is being held at the same location as your reception.
Conversely, if you opt to hire a separate classical ensemble for your ceremony, then it is generally extremely cost effective to have these musicians stay to play for the cocktail hour as well for a modest additional fee.
Be sure to discuss these aspects of your event with your Hank Agency agent so she can advise you as to your options and the best way to utilize your band AND your budget!
And if you book several acts with us, you will get a group discount!

This helps make your wedding day run smoothly! Hiring a photographer and/or videographer who have successfully worked with your band before means that your vendors know each other and know what to expect from each other.
This familiarity translates into a "team" atmosphere behind the scenes and no unfortunate surprises. The vendors are likely to work well together and keep each other informed as to what's coming up next, so the photographer knows exactly where to be when the first dance is just about to start and the videographer doesn't miss the bride dancing with her father.

Hank Agency is picky and we expect the BEST! As we have said before …"If we wouldn't have it at our own wedding, we won't book it for you!" That motto applies to every aspect of your wedding, not just the entertainment.
We are happy to suggest and coordinate other industry vendors that we have worked with in the past and know that they do a tremendous job.
From linens to tent rentals to flowers to formalwear, venue selection, lighting, caterers, décor and more, we know the best in the business and we are happy to help you with all aspects of your event planning.

Put someone in charge of your rehearsal and wedding day who can ensure that vendors, venues and the wedding party are ready to go according to schedule.
Be sure to select someone who doesn't fluster easily and who isn't part of the immediate wedding party, so he or she has the flexibility to check set-ups in advance of the wedding party and guests.
Even if you don't hire a wedding planner, it isn't realistic to think that either the bride or her mother can effectively serve as the "ring leader" and also enjoy the event. Hank Agency knows some fabulous "Day-Of-Event Managers" who are affordable and will make your life much easier! So if you don't want to hire an all-out Wedding Planner but still want everything to run smoothly, let us connect you with the right people!
