Unfortunately, that requires some crucial planning on your part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For that reason, we\u2019ve put together a list of tips and ideas to help you book the best singer for your upcoming event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s get started!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"864\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084159\/performance-3216209_1920.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084159\/performance-3216209_1920.jpg 864w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084159\/performance-3216209_1920-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084159\/performance-3216209_1920-768x463.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What atmosphere are you looking for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The desired party atmosphere will have a huge impact on which singer you\u2019ll want to hire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is the audience?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s possible to hire a singer for almost any occasion. But ideally, you\u2019ll want to hire a singer who specialises in performing for your type of event\/audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, weddings, corporate events, anniversaries, retirement parties\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s the objective?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Very simply: why you want to hire the singer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you want your guests to dance to live music? Do you want to have an after-dinner show? Or set the atmosphere during a reception?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no right or wrong answer but your objective will influence the type of singer you hire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What music genres are you looking for?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but not least, what music genre are you looking for? Rock? Soul? Country music?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The genre you\u2019re looking for will influence who you hire but also when they play during the event. You don\u2019t want anything too overbearing during a casual reception just as you don\u2019t want anything too quiet during a party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084158\/music-4610566_1920.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084158\/music-4610566_1920.jpg 960w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084158\/music-4610566_1920-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084158\/music-4610566_1920-768x468.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should I hire a singer or a band?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A question you\u2019re likely to be asking yourself is whether you should hire a singer or a band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, there is no right or wrong answer. We\u2019ve previously published an article on <a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/blog\/general\/booking-a-band\/\">hiring a band<\/a>. However, there are a few key differences to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How big is the room\/audience?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bands usually need a minimum room size for the vocals to be heard over the drums and percussions. They also need space for their equipment. This means singers are generally better suited for the smaller rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It\u2019s personality-driven entertainment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Singers are generally more personality-driven than bands; they\u2019ll present their set like a show and make the music feel more personal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, PartyWizz entertainer <a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/kristin-kapelli\">Kristen Kapelli<\/a> is both a singer and a comedian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: This doesn\u2019t mean singers can\u2019t be hired for atmospheric music as we mentioned in the previous section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Singers are generally cheaper<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All things being equal, singers tend to be cheaper than bands as they have lower operating costs. It\u2019s only one person and they require less equipment. If you\u2019re on a shoestring budget this is something to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, keep in mind that the reputation of the singer (or band) will further differentiate the price. Experts are more in demand and therefore charge more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084158\/singer-2435334_1920-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084158\/singer-2435334_1920-1.jpg 960w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084158\/singer-2435334_1920-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084158\/singer-2435334_1920-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the singer suitable for your event?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before hiring a singer, you\u2019re going to want to make sure he or she is suitable for your event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Audience size<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Singers can play to audiences of any size. Big and small. However, some singers will be more used to playing certain types of rooms that others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you take this into account. Especially for very large rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Equipment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Very simply, does the singer have the required equipment for your event? Most professionals can cater to any venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it\u2019s something you\u2019ll want to check before placing the booking. Especially if the venue doesn\u2019t have amplifiers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Budget<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Is the singer in your price range?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prices differ based on location. For example, here in Ireland, prices range from \u20ac200 to \u20ac1000+ for 2 hours of singing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re based in Ireland, you can see prices for different singers and bands directly on <a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\">PartyWizz<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Venue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to singers, venue concerns aren\u2019t too much of an issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a very versatile form of entertainment as they can get set up just about anywhere. Just make sure they travel to your area!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"864\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084157\/vidar-nordli-mathisen-StAl7MQIioY-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084157\/vidar-nordli-mathisen-StAl7MQIioY-unsplash.jpg 864w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084157\/vidar-nordli-mathisen-StAl7MQIioY-unsplash-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084157\/vidar-nordli-mathisen-StAl7MQIioY-unsplash-768x504.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/><figcaption>Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@vidarnm?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Vidar Nordli-Mathisen<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vetting the quality of the singer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll want to vet the quality of the service you\u2019re paying for. Here are a few pointers to get you started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try to see them live<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeing a singer performing first-hand is always the best option. You\u2019ll immediately tell whether or not you like their style of performance and if they\u2019re suitable for your event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, this isn\u2019t always possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get a referral<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The second best option is to get a referral from someone you know and trust. As a starting point, it\u2019s as good as any.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check for reviews and testimonials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to find third-party reviews and testimonials of the singer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\">PartyWizz<\/a>, you can find reviews on the profiles of all of our entertainers and party service providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084157\/Screenshot-2021-01-11-at-12.32.58-1024x653.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084157\/Screenshot-2021-01-11-at-12.32.58-1024x653.png 1024w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084157\/Screenshot-2021-01-11-at-12.32.58-300x191.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084157\/Screenshot-2021-01-11-at-12.32.58-768x490.png 768w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084157\/Screenshot-2021-01-11-at-12.32.58.png 1026w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/kristin-kapelli\">Kristin Kapelli<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aren\u2019t based in Ireland, you can find reviews on Google and Facebook. Just be aware that these reviews can be faked. Read through them and make sure they feel authentic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check for a vetting system<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Is the singer part of a vetting system? Depending on where you live, this may or may not be possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, at PartyWizz we vet all of our entertainers and party service providers to make sure we only work with the best in the business. You can view all of our <a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/partners\/dublin-singers-for-hire\">singer partners<\/a> on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Look at pictures &amp; videos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a bit of a tricky one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the one hand, it makes sense to look at pictures and videos before making a booking. You can even reach out to ask for a sample of their work. Most singers will be happy to provide you with one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But on the other hand, it\u2019s not very representative of what a singer does. Pictures and videos can\u2019t truly convey the true atmosphere of an event or party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do they have performing experience?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>More experience doesn\u2019t necessarily translate into better entertainment. Especially when it comes to singing. However, it\u2019s worth checking that they have a few shows under their belts before you decide on booking them.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084158\/microphone-1562369_1280.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084158\/microphone-1562369_1280.jpg 960w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084158\/microphone-1562369_1280-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084158\/microphone-1562369_1280-768x468.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practicalities to consider when hiring a singer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s included in the singer&#8217;s fee?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before making your reservation, take the time to understand what\u2019s included in the singer\u2019s fee. Entertainers generally offer different show packages that contain different features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take the time to understand which one suits you best. Here are a few questions to ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>How long will the singer be there?<\/li><li>What is the show format?<\/li><li>How long will they be singing for?<\/li><li>Are travelling costs included?<\/li><li>Do they have any special requirements?<\/li><li>Do you have any special requests for the singer?<\/li><li>Are there any additional\/hidden fees? This is more relevant to bands than to singers.<\/li><li>Do they have public liability insurance?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When making a booking on the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/partywizz.com\/weddings\">PartyWizz<\/a>&nbsp;website, the total price is automatically calculated based on factors such as location and duration. There are no hidden fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get a contract or written agreement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Professional entertainers should provide you with a written contract or agreement. It will outline everything you\u2019ve agreed on. It doesn\u2019t have to be lengthy or overly formal but make sure everything is written down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At PartyWizz, we provide a general agreement between the booker and the performer. When confirming the booking, both parties agree to these terms and conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get in contact before the show<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We always recommend getting in touch with all of your suppliers a few days before the event. In fact, they might be the one to call you. This call will help you make sure you both (still) agree on the event details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have a back-up plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, we\u2019re at the mercy of unforeseeable circumstances. Although you most likely won\u2019t need your backup plan, it\u2019s always prudent to have one. In particular, if the singer is central to the event. Keep it simple and keep the fun going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When making the reservation, it\u2019s worth checking with the singer if he or she provides a back-up plan. If they can\u2019t make the event, do they offer a full refund? Make sure this is also stated in the contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hiring a singer directly through PartyWizz<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For some general tips about hiring an entertainer, check out our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/blog\/family\/entertainer\/tips-hiring-kids-entertainer\/\">kids<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/blog\/wedding\/tips-wedding-entertainer\/\">weddings<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/blog\/corporate\/tips-hiring-corporate-entertainer\/\">corporate<\/a>&nbsp;blogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/partners\/dublin-singers-for-hire\">hiring a singer<\/a> for an upcoming event, please check out the PartyWizz website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-61d8d4f3-23b1-429c-bac8-fc51d252b45a\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-61d8d4f3-23b1-429c-bac8-fc51d252b45a\" id=\"hs-cta-61d8d4f3-23b1-429c-bac8-fc51d252b45a\"><!--[if lte IE 8]><div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div><![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/3811420\/61d8d4f3-23b1-429c-bac8-fc51d252b45a\" ><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" id=\"hs-cta-img-61d8d4f3-23b1-429c-bac8-fc51d252b45a\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/3811420\/61d8d4f3-23b1-429c-bac8-fc51d252b45a.png\"  alt=\"&gt;&gt; Book a singer online in seconds\"\/><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(3811420, '61d8d4f3-23b1-429c-bac8-fc51d252b45a', {}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><\/a><\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking to hire a singer?
