Hiring a wedding singer is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as you plan your big day. Each wedding entertainer in Melbourne is unique; wedding singers vary tremendously in style, skill, and experience. Wedding singer preference is highly individual and varies widely based on many different factors, but there are a few things that everyone can take into consideration to help them find the perfect Melbourne wedding entertainment. To ensure that you make the right decision for your event, ask your entertainer the following questions.

What is your background?
When choosing a singer you’ll want someone experienced. If you’re looking for someone to sing something specific, you’ll want to be sure they have the experience to be able to pull it off. For example, if you want an opera singer or a rocker, you need to know that the singer you’re considering will can perform exactly what you want and perform it well.

Do you have a band or require accompaniment?
When you are hiring a wedding singer, be sure you understand whether you also need to provide other music or hire a pianist. Many wedding singers use high-quality tracks to accompany them as they sing, and this is one of the benefits of hiring this type of singer – you know the music will sound great. Also ask whether the singer is available for both the ceremony and the reception, according to your needs.

What is your favourite type of music to sing?
There’s not necessarily a “wrong” answer here, but you’re looking for someone to be the soundtrack and voice of your wedding, and they will do their best possible work if they’re enjoying themselves. This is also a useful question in that it can give you a better sense of the singer’s personality.

​Do you have any recommendations?
With a vast amount of experience your singer will have some tips of what general works and doesn’t work. This will help you shape you music choices to your taste in a way that will work for your ceremony.

Do you have a video of a recent wedding performance?
In years past, people asked to attend one of the singer’s performances. Now, there’s no need to show up at a stranger’s wedding. Just ask to see a video so that you can get an idea of what the singer is like performing live. Pay attention to crowd reactions as well as how the singer sounds.
