How do I choose the right act for my wedding, party or event?

We know that finding the perfect musical act for your event is very important but can also seem a little daunting or overwhelming at times; especially if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for.

This is where a service like ELM really comes into it’s own. We love to chat to you and discuss an array of possibilities. We will ask you questions like ‘What atmosphere are you trying to create?’ and talk to you about your favourite music genres.

We will also look at the venue info and possibly speak to them to ensure what is and isn’t allowed music wise. Some venues really lend themselves to certain types of acts more than others. For example, if you are hosting an event at a remote location with no electricity but you still want a lively vibe, we can send you some roaming band options who use battery amps.

Or if are are hosting a very sophisticated soiree but the venue does not allow amplification, we can suggest some elegant string quartets who perform acoustically.

There are so many factors when planning live music and we are here to help. Please do get in touch if you’d like to discuss an event you have coming up.

And don’t just take our word for it, hear what Multi-Award-Winning Wedding and Event Planner Poppy Sienna has to say about working with ELM…

“Working with Emily from ELM Agency has not only saved hours of valuable time, but Emily has such a large but refined network of acts that I always know she will provide my clients with hidden gems that may otherwise be hard to find.

Not only that, but Emily’s vast knowledge and understanding is invaluable – we work with quite a lot of venues who have slightly complicated music/tech systems and again, Emily will go above and beyond to fully understand these (including speaking to the venue) before recommending any acts.

Emily has also started to offer an advanced service to my clients where she will jump on a call to run through all their initial music needs and often helps these couples understand what music they actually want. My clients have loved this personalised service and it has made the music/entertainment sourcing much easier and more enjoyable for both myself and my couples.”
