So yeah, the best way to stretch the budget is to go with companies like myself where you just come
to one person to get a whole music package. So rather than going to this vendor that vendor that vendor
that vendor to, so if you're all the music you come to us, we saw everything for you,
so it's agey time and it's at money. Also, if you don't have much of a budget, so if it's not,
you don't have a lot to spend on music, just then think about those key moments, so the ceremony,
that's always a really key moment to have live music, because it's just so emotional and you know,
the music will help with that. Or maybe in the evening, if you don't have the budget for a whole band,
you can do a smaller setup, you can have a DJ with a saxophone player, if you still want that live
feel, or even a singer, so you're just a smaller setup, so you can still have that live element,
but it doesn't break your bank, you know. Using like the same musicians like from you through
out of the day, would you try and work it and does it help to utilise the budget in the best way
by having, say, your band to the evening and then selecting some of those people to perform,
maybe either smaller group during dinner, a duo or a trio during the drinks reception,
is that how that benefits couples by sort of helping them stretch their budget because you utilise
sort of one musician through various points in the day. Yeah absolutely, and it's nice because it
just gains familiarity as well, so everyone's seen that person during the day, and oh they're in the band,
so soon gets to know that person throughout the whole day, and then you're celebrating with them
in the end, so it's really, really nice for people to be on that journey with you as well as
be a cheaper option for giving you live music throughout the day, so yeah, definitely.
And logistically, you can get your soundcheck done before the guests are there as well,
which I always think it's one of those moments where you've got the bands start coming in during dinner
and you're like oh no, we're going to have lots of客 one, check two, mic mic mic, yeah one, two, three,
you're like no, please don't do this during dinner, and I always advise my couples if they've
got the budget and they can get the band there earlier to do that because it just, I think it takes a
spark out of it almost, well sometimes, and we have had it once where it got the guests really excited
about the band for that evening because they got to hear snippets of the kind of music like that is true,
but most of the time it's that there's a surprise, there's the wow factor that we're going to hear later,
but we've already heard what it's going to sound like. It surprises me actually that not more bands
suggest this as a either upsell or a standard package with couples is to say okay, we'll perform
later, but like what time you have in dinner because just pay for us to be there earlier because surely
they enjoy being there, I mean I don't know, but surely they enjoy being there earlier setting up with
less stress and then they can have some downtime, have their band meal and then get ready and change
ready to go later instead of them, you know, I've heard reddings where a band member's been
trafficked on the M25 and it's just stressful. I was if like everyone plans to be there earlier and
charges accordingly for that obviously, but it just makes everyone's life a bit easier as well,
but is that the same from sort of your perspective? Yeah absolutely, because also I've found a lot of
weddings run slightly later than scheduled, so it's always a fath if say the coordinators said oh 5pm
that's when you can start loading in, you know, but it comes to 5pm they're still eating so you
have a car park waiting to load in, and you're like oh and you're just going wait another 10 minutes,
another 10 minutes, so it turns into like six o'clock, you've got the first dance at seven and you,
you know, you've allocated actually an hour and a half or two hours to get in there and set up
sound check, so yeah it's nice that if you are there from earlier, all of that is done, you're just
there waiting to then perform. Yeah, how do you deal with that lol that you get when you have a room
change round, if you just come across to you as much as it does to like it's one of my absolute fears
and paranoias is the lull most inner when everyone's asked to move out of the room whilst it's change
round ready for the evening and all the guests come back in having had their cup of tea and they're all
a bit full and feeling nostalgic, sleepy, do you notice that as a band how much you've got to bring
those guests back up? No, I think because they're already excited now because they're never coming
like what's next and like we're hey we're here, you know, so we are, yeah we're there to bring them
back up, so it's not very, we don't feel the lull, right? Yeah, the lulls happen in the other room and
then they're all the fun with it. We're there to just build it up and normally when they come back in
they're there to cut the cake, do the first dance, so it's just, so it just keeps moving, you know,
until the party and then the party, so yeah, we don't really feel that lull thank goodness.
Any advice on how couples can combat it in the other room whilst you're doing that?
Have live musician, have a live musician. Yeah I've got drinks, I've got a couple of people this year
are having like a second drinks reception when their evening guests arrive, so with some music,
so that it's sort of like a mini entrance, yeah, and starts to build it back up again, ready to
go straight in and hit the dance floor. Oh absolutely, I think it's just a pre-cursor to what's
going to happen in the next room. Yeah, build it up nicely. What considerations should couples
make when looking to choose their live music? Like what are things that they need to think about
when looking to book musicians for their wedding day? Yeah, I think the first thing we ask couples is
what vibe are you trying to create? Because a lot of people are like, oh you want to live music? Okay,
but what do you want? Like what are you trying to, because otherwise it's such an array and a lot of people
put on like on Facebook groups are looking for a live band. Okay, what genre is your favorite? You know,
what kind of style do you want to chill acoustic? Do you want it upbeat in your face? Like people
need to really be specific with what it is they need first, so left up instead of all those things.
I mean we can present them with options, but we like to present them with options that they are
likely to be like yes otherwise it's just kind of wasting time be like oh what about this? And they're
like oh no, you know, it's so common though. It's so common that you come across couples that
just like we want a live band for you thing. Yeah, that is you've got it at the minute, how you
where you've got a client who literally can't decide between three or four different genres. Yeah,
what vibe they want for the evening and it makes it so difficult. Yeah, it's such a wide range.
You have no way to narrow down your research if you don't know these basic things. Exactly. Yeah,
absolutely because it'll just take so much more time if they don't have these things.
Definitely so it's number one. Number two sound limiters. Yeah, it's really with the band that it
makes like was with like a solo singer string quartet acoustic soul singer like in the corner. It
doesn't matter but with a band and with a DJ in the eager and the sound limiter has yeah,
there's a few venues actually where there's a sound limiter and you have to go through their speakers.
So sometimes their speakers are above the dance floor. So when you're walking around your microphone,
your microphone is speeding back because the speakers are directly above you and it's just like all
these things but clients wouldn't know and venues don't necessarily tell clients until they're like
I'm bringing in a band or I've got a DJ and sometimes they don't even do that. So there's always
a question you should ask your venues is like do you have a sound limiter? Do they have to use your
speakers or can they bring equipment in? So obviously we would prefer to bring our own equipment. We
use it all the time and now her works when you're going to a venue especially if you haven't been
there before and your sound check's going to take longer because you need to get the sound on point
and make sure there isn't any feedback and that just takes longer and you're not quite sure how
their equipment works. I've learned over the years quite naively for someone who isn't in music.
You think it's a simple case of someone singing, someone's playing the instrument and it all just
comes out beautifully. It's not, it's so much more technical than that and they're never leaving
everything like that. The layers that you guys have to put in to make sure that that sound sounds
like perfect is unreal and so beyond what you think it might be. It's good for couples to know and
be able to understand that so like knowing about a sound limiter in things like that because otherwise
we're going to have a flat dance loop because the sound doesn't sound good. And also with the sound
limiters you have some that just warn you and others that actually just cut out, don't you? Like some
just be anxiety because this was like oh my goodness and you're not really going to know
until you've done the sound check if that's going to happen and then sometimes on the gig it happens
as well. We had that one time literally and it is when we did the medley of four songs
and the first dance it cut out but because everyone was singing along and they're having a saxophone
player as well who didn't rely on the sound being on any electricity. Everyone just kept going
until it came back up again towards the end so it happened but we worked with it.
Yeah, my god. Well done yes, it's not. Yeah, so anxious. Seeing live recordings of acts is really
important as well because sometimes as especially in the wedding industry we only do weddings or
only private events. Sometimes people don't actually do public events so it's always good to ask
or a live recording or just check all their live performances because people send you their polished
promo videos and it's polished for a reason. So if you can hear how they sound live that is
the absolute go-to. Yeah, you have a few showcases. No, but I'm trying to. Definitely trying to.
I do, I personally do a lot of wedding fairs. I do wedding fairs on behalf of everybody in the
company because it's so difficult to get people available free. It's also about to make people
to come and showcase themselves so that they they get work, go for a run down the line and where I do
the wedding fairs, people are like oh I saw you and I want you. I'm trying to get work for everybody
so it's so important to do showcases. I think how we'll put something together to just show all
of my singers, all the musicians because that'll be fun as well then itself. Yeah, we spoke about it on
our one-year anniversary podcast. We had our husbands on from one year anniversary and Chris, my husband,
was saying about how he managed to convince my mum into booking our band was because they held
a showcase up in London and we'd had a call with them beforehand and we told them what our first
dance was going to be. They'd learn our first dance and then performed it back to us and my mum literally
she was just like I'm sold. Sign me up. Yeah, double the budget I wanted to spend but I don't care
I'm sorry. Yeah and it just and I have lots of couples come to me and they're like can we see the band
and you're like well we can look at videos yeah but that live experience I think has yeah holds so
much gravitas. Yeah absolutely absolutely yeah she's getting everybody I mean one same day, same time.
Yeah hard work. Yeah don't envy you there. We spoke about sound limiters a bit. What other
challenges have you experienced while performing events and so what can couples do to prevent
them from happening at their own weddings? Timing like I mentioned before just keeping on schedule
so I always say to people if you haven't got an event planner and a wedding planner get one
because it's so difficult to keep everything going on tracking on time and we rely on time so much
as musicians and so yeah everybody just have a wedding planner please. Yeah it just yeah helps us out
so much and I think even to the little details like for me and when I got married this was like
13 years ago now I got married and I was my wedding planner and I was right it was just so stressful
at the end I cried because everyone was coming to me with all these questions and I just wanted to
enjoy myself. My mum said whoa I can't find the bars that I need to take back where do we put the
rubbish to like the things I don't even need to concern myself with but I ended up concerning myself
because I didn't have a wedding planner so yeah I think it's challenging when people think they can
do it all themselves be where all the hats yeah and all of the other vendors are just like kind of
flailing in the wind because there's no plan and there's no structure and something. But they always
you look for the person in the white dress because that is typical yeah they're the easiest way to start
aren't they yeah they are they will just they will go to unless I mean we've advised couples that
don't have planners to have person a contact person from the day isn't the bride for those exact
reasons that they can just go to and be like what do I do with this what do I do with that because
you're right like yeah it's it's so hard to manage all of that and try and be present yeah exactly
it's too stressful so yeah I'm a big fan of having someone other than the brides of contact
however if I was a bride and I wanted to come and speak to you about music tell us about how the
process works with okles when they approach you for music yeah so we get people to fill in an inquiry
form so that we've got all the details so we can actually make an accurate quote because a lot a lot
of the time people are if they if they're not getting married to say 2020 they don't have all the
details but if it's like a more recent one a one that's coming up we we just have all the details
that we like okay we will say that this is the price for that what I hate doing is giving the price
and then things change that oh well now it's going to be this you know so I like to really have as
much information as possible in that inquiry form and then we send back an accurate quote with options
as well we like to give like then few options not too much like so if I mean to give people
way too much options they get overwhelmed that always overwhelmed anyway and then you're like
okay there's ten singers too to look through like no we don't yeah we just pick what what we think
would suit the requirements that you've been specified and then I yeah give them a call and see
just find out a little bit about about them and their love story I love people's love stories how
they got together you know how they how they proposed like I love all of that because I think that
then feeds into who I'm gonna choose and like who I know seems that some really well or you know
in that kind of thing so that's really good and then yeah further down the line when they book
to book we always ask for a 20% deposit and then they remain in your mouth six weeks before the
event and then we have like a dissertation I love meeting up with the couples again to find out
their stories and yeah you're all planning with all the plans together I get all the the artists
what they need and then yeah the day just goes pretty well yeah do you ever have couples come to you
and want to completely and utterly control the setlist how do you deal with that yeah great question
yeah do you know what and I I do it to a certain degree because sometimes they have so many requests
maybe outside of our repertoire that I'm like it's actually impossible for us to like run the whole
of the wedding season and learn your 15 songs as well but I do I do make them aware that we do have
limited time if they give us a good like three two three months in advance then I do allow about
four or five requests but at the end of the day like I send them our Spotify playlist these are the
songs that we normally do pick some out of these let me know which ones you definitely don't want if
they like your ex partner or something yeah I don't like that one you know what they what they like
what they don't like and then yeah go from there because a lot of the time people have their idea
of what they love but they also have the cater to everybody yet your audience is your party if you
want people to then your friends and your family and it has to roll together as well doesn't it
one song needs to roll into the next song nicely it can't be like a love song into suddenly a proper
high song yeah that just doesn't work yeah so then the first time so that's the time that you have
those two minutes yeah together but exactly yeah it's got a flow yeah yeah but most of our
our words and rooms they trust us to yeah right and make it work so yeah they don't mind requests here
and everything but the whole set list I'm like well then why don't you just play your playlist yeah
what is your most memorable event that you've done so far you're most memorable wedding or
celebration I think definitely the one where we provided live music all day that was the the one
where we chose the music from country and to me so because she had myself singing as people
walked in so as yeah as people were entering and sitting down and they showed me singing for the
ceremony and they shared a sax player for the drinks reception so that was quite nice and then
for yeah the wedding breakfast in between every every meal she had a eight-piece band just come
out and they were like oh wow so they had this star then they have someone's table and have their
mates that was beautiful it just built up so nicely towards the end because everybody was just
up dancing ready for the evening reception we kind of had to bring them down a little bit
for the first dance yeah and then built back up again for the evening and I just think it was memorable
because she trusted me to do the whole day you know and saw all of that out and that was the first
time I had my band featuring in every single part of her wedding so putting it all together and we
just felt like a real team effort and I loved that because it's like we've all got one goal and that's
just to make it incredible and amazing and memorable and so everyone is just on the same page and
yeah musicians are incredible so that's definitely one of my memorable ones another one is I went to
Cypress last year my first international well international by myself yeah wedding and they they
had met me in a place called the Rudy May in May I was and they were like well you come and do
our wedding it's in Cypress I'm like definitely yeah you days away from the kids as well yeah exactly
why not so yeah that might that being my first international wedding by myself was so memorable
because it was just so warm just being on yeah being on the islands and just having a great time with
them yeah I loved it five feels totally different as well doesn't it with an abroad wedding yeah they're
just chill that's chill and I love that the DJ because I don't have only had to take my microphone
and my music plug into their DJ and I was off in a way yeah yeah it was really simple really really
simple do the really quick sound check and yeah do two one hour sets of party music and it's pretty
I'm just on a beach it's great it's great so we kind of doubled a little bit about um Blackbird
Entertainment but tell us give us an overview of what who you are and who your business is and
what you're about where you sort of cover and things because you go internationally it would be
good for all listeners to know sort of may you perform yeah so we are this may we'll be 18 years
in McGay what crazy is like have nearly have an adult company yeah um but yeah well based in Kent
and we um yeah obviously we have loads of singers we have bands musicians DJs and it's not just for
weekends we do any events I love a birthday party at the moment we can do a lot of 40th birthday
parties which is my era yeah my kind of music just like the R&B the garage that kind of thing is just
yeah yeah so much but we just love to like I say tell a story through people's weddings and that
I love to get to know the couples I think that's really really key and and different I will not just
providing live music we're providing your sound your whole soundtrack you know just tying in your
love story with the music and just making it yeah it's making it work so that's what I love to do you
do a range of like obviously we touch on how you can convert styles from country to neo but do you
do you kind of put yourself into a genre like or are you totally broad and someone can come to you
for anything yeah I think for me personally I'm very much solo town R&B disco party style but we have
other acts that do like country rock you know the string quartet with the classical but with a R&B
soul twist which is like really unique and different and a very Bridgerton-esque which we love
yeah that's very in at the minute isn't it yeah it is I can't wait to see the next part
now I'm waiting yeah other guys this is going out a lot later oh it is yeah we want to do it
if we might see R&B for season four part two by the time this is going out but yeah we do a wide range
and we all the time we're adding to our roster as well and if I see someone that I'm like oh you're
amazing and then I'm like can you like to join to be part of it you've got on your roster at the
minute at the moment 37 oh wow yeah so it's growing all the time which is it's fun but I always like to
get again get to know the acts because you could have the most fantastic voice but if you're not
a great person it's like yeah you know that's always have to have like a meetup just like in
feel your vibe do we you know do we click do we clash you know that kind of thing because that's
really important if I'm if you're going out there representing Blackbird Entertainment I need to know
you're going to go out there correctly professionally you know all those things so yeah we choose our
people very carefully because let's say we're with a small company so yeah everything comes back

Bye. Bye.
Hello and welcome to this week's episode of the Wedding Lounge podcast.
This week we have got the lovely Ebonie from Blackbird Entertainment who is here talking
for us about all things musical. Hi Ebonie
Hello. How are you doing?
Yeah, it's lovely to have you. Thank you so much for coming on today.
Yeah, thanks for having me.
So we would like to ask you, Evony, how pupils can incorporate live music into their wedding.
How would you suggest people do it?
I would suggest that they have it all day, but I agree.
I love music so much and I just think it's so important the way that music can just bring
people together and actually make you feel something.
For the ceremony, we normally say you can have music where people are getting seated.
So as soon as people come in they've got some kind of feelings, some kind of atmosphere
of love and joy and you know it's right from the get-go.
So we normally say about 30 minutes of music as guests have been seated and then of course
you've got the bridal party in the bridal green walking down the aisle and then you've
got the signing of the register.
So those little bits where people are just sitting around not really doing much is really
nice to put music in there for people to have focal point or so it's a concentrate on
or even just something in the background while they catch up in chat which is really nice.
And then obviously you've got the walking back up the aisle.
This reception is always an amazing place to put live music because it's either nice in
the background or again if you want to entertain your guests, people like have a band where they
can just walk around with a roaming band.
If you want to entertain your guests like that or it could just be just something simple
in the background like a string quartet, solo singing a nice chill acoustic vibe so there's
so much variety for a drinks reception.
And then the next part for the wedding breakfast.
I think wedding breakfasts are notoriously long, like all the three courses if you're having
the three courses.
So just having a bit of music there in the background is amazing to lighten the mood and
again if you just want it to be backbone or if you want it to entertain, we did an amazing
wedding where we had our eight-piece band performing in-between the meals.
So no one was ever bored, it was literally like, I'm going to eat now and now we're going
to have some entertainment.
Oh, that's cool.
I'm going to eat some more and more entertainment.
Like there's always something to look at, something to do, you know, which I absolutely
enjoy.
That's such a nice thing to do because usually people think to put the speeches between
courses.
Which is lovely.
Yeah, I love it when people, I have seen one wedding where someone had a mariachi band just
as they went into the meal and then none of the guests wanted to sit down and eat food.
So the caterers were like, okay, we need to bring the food out, it's ready but everyone was
up.
That was too much of a vibe that people didn't want to miss out.
You've got to think carefully about how the people have got to think how the music fits
in with like actual services of the, I guess you nailed it on the head though, really.
When you say it creates the atmosphere, doesn't it?
Like you are, you can control the narrative of the whole entire day through the music.
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
It just tells like a whole story and you want that story to reflect the couple and their
love story.
It's literally like just playing out in front of you, you know, just accordingly.
So yeah, definitely.
And I think the last part, obviously the big evening, yeah, with like an amazing DJ, with
like an epic band alongside them.
That's always my favourite go to because again, there you've got variety, it's not just a
DJ, it's not just a band, but if you have both, you've got that flexibility of, you know,
if the musicians don't know a song or haven't got a song, the DJ will definitely have that
song, you know.
So you've got variety there and it's just a nice way to close the night, go out on a bang.
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Music all day.
Yeah.
I think you've kind of mentioned some of them there, but what are the benefits of people having
live musicians at weddings?
I mean, for me, I prefer live musicians, so I'm not there having to press play on like a
list or for five hundred or five hundred and I hate doing that.
You know, what are the reasons why people live for live music?
Like, what are the benefits of having live music, I guess, over sort of a PA system of the
phone?
Yeah.
So get, like you said, you don't have to rely on someone, press and play at the right point.
Like, the musicians would have been briefed specifically on what to start and when to
start and when to, you know, and I think having live musicians is so unique because not
everybody performs songs the second way as you hear on a track, so you're literally getting
a unique performance, you know, on your special day.
And what are five songs even?
We had, oh, we had a, we had a bride who loved this country song, but she was like, can you
turn it to a neo-soul version because I hate country music?
Oh, the lyrics.
And I looked to her and I was like, that's such a genius idea.
And I heard some, I was like, oh my goodness, what a beautiful song it literally wants me to
tears.
But I understood the whole, like the country vibe wasn't my vibe either.
So the fact she said, can you do a neo-soul version?
I'm like, yeah.
You got a video of that on your Instagram?
Ah, I've done, but you know what, I'm going to put it out.
I will put it out.
Yeah.
I'd love to see what, because I quite like country music, but I'm also used to love a
bit of neo back in the day.
So I would love to see how that works.
We've got like a clip of it, I'll definitely put that out at some point, because it's just
so beautifully done.
And that was for her father, daughter dance.
So that was...
Oh.
Oh my gosh, the word, I just wanted to cry.
Yes.
That's so cute.
So, so cute.
And like another couple actually wanted us to do a medley of four songs.
And they gave us the songs and we were like, they, how are we going to do this?
Because they are so different, like the songs were so different from each other, but we got
the band together, we worked out different keys and, you know, different time signatures and
just how to make it fit.
And eventually we made it fit, and it flowed so well, but that's something you can't do,
you know, without live musicians.
You can't, you can't, well, I guess you could press one song after another, but it just
wouldn't flow, you know.
Yeah.
You can't, you can't, you can't, you can't give it the same beat, can you, you can't give
it the same tempo.
That's what I'm looking at.
Beautiful.
To then make one flow into the other.
Exactly.
You have to do with live musicians and we, we've made it work and made the couple absolutely
loved it.
So I love to mash up.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
You love a mash up.
You're a fan of like the seven minute, what is it?
Is it the seven minutes out of today's mash up?
Have you heard that one?
No.
I remember at my brother's wedding, I commented the DJ and asked him to wind up my stepdad because
there's a song Richard Marx right here waiting for you, winds up my stepdad like so much.
It was his wedding song to his ex-boyfriend.
And he absolutely loves, beauty love, boogie tonight, which totally different.
So I've got the DJ.
I said, can you just start playing Richard Marx to wind up and then like partway through
just like switch it up to beauty love and I literally just asked him there on the evening
when I was drunk and sprites made and he did it and I was like, this is amazing.
No one else got it but my stepdad and I and my mum and my brother were like, this is brilliant
because his reaction went from, oh my gosh, what is this?
I hate this song too.
Oh my god.
Yeah, live musicians like doing that in advance which just speak, yeah.
Yeah.
And there's those little moments just that you will remember for a project.
I mean it's like, yeah, so I'm going to speak to the situation, is that inside joke that
no one else gets but you'll do that?
And also like in a world full of AI now and artificial, that human element of a musical
performance is just, it just creates like a wonder like people are drawn to it.
People often might stop and listen, you know, and take in the sounds and stuff.
It's just, yeah, it's just nice to have human, humans do the job.
But interacting.
Yeah, like you can pull people onto the dance floor physically, you can go out and you
can engage with the crowd.
You can get them on the dance floor and that's something that you can't do with just played
music.
No.
So you need to have the people there and that's what creates the atmosphere, that's what creates
the magic, isn't it, really?
Yeah, whether that's a live DJ who's like interacting, like did an MC or a saxophonist
or, but it's just having, having that interaction with guests and it makes it more of an entertainment
for the guests.
It's the same.
Like during the drinks reception, people might have it as background music or you can do
roaming artists or things that are a bit more interactive and it becomes more, because
we did a Q&A session a few weeks ago and one of the questions was sort of about how much
entertainment they need and we said if you've got good music, like that is like, you know,
is brilliant entertainment.
If you've got your live music and that sort of element, it just sets the tone.
Yeah.
People remember it as well.
Yeah.
How would you advise couples make the most, I mean I personally, and lots of my clients that
come to me, entertainment's quite a big important factor in their day, but how would you advise
couples to make the most out of their entertainment budget that they set aside for their wedding?
