A wedding is always the most
long-awaited day in the life of any bride, and that is why he must certainly
become extraordinary and memorable. On this day, dreams should be fulfilled,
even if this dream is about a star from the sky or just a star of the world
scene ...
Today it is very fashionable to invite
celebrities to private events. At the same time, the “star” has long been
understood as not just a popular singer of hits, but also well-known
presenters, top DJs, participants of television show or people from the world
of cinema.
And here I want to make a
reservation right away that even if the wedding budget allows you to not deny
yourself anything by making a real “star fall”, it is still better to decide on
the basic desire and let the newlyweds shine at the wedding.
But about the difficulties that
await you in organizing the performances of the artist, and what to envisage
without fail, we will tell in our article.
Household and Technical Rider
Firstly, each popular artist has an
individual household and technical rider, in which there are strict
requirements for implementation, and sometimes very non-standard ones.
Technical rider includes sound, light, stage software parameters, which are
mandatory. Separately, the requirements of the domestic nature, including the state
of the dressing room, delivery to the banquet place and others. If the
organizers of the celebration fail to fulfill the conditions of the star, then
the performer has the full right to refuse to perform and not to pay damages to
the customer.
Therefore, it is recommended to
study the technical rider of the artist very carefully and in advance. Help in
the selection of the necessary equipment will be able to employees of the
company that provides sound rental. It is important not to try to save money by
choosing a sound equipment rental company with low prices. We recommend dealing
exclusively with proven companies whose reputation is impeccable.
It should be borne in mind that the
connection of equipment is carried out, as a rule, 3-6 hours before the event.
It is mandatory to conduct initial testing of the equipment, and then a sound
check, in which musicians take part.
If the scenario of the star’s
performance involves visual effects, then lasers and smoke machines, soap
bubble generators, snow, foam, fire simulators, and other equipment may be
needed.
Artist's Fee
In addition to the fact that the
size of the star's reward is very high, it is also non-permanent. The Executive
Manager will call the exact amount of remuneration only after a lengthy
conversation with the customer.
There are numerous factors that can
significantly change the size of the fee:
1 season. During the holidays, the
cost of performance of the artist can double.
2. The location of the venue for
the performance. If the artist will have to make a long trip to perform at the
wedding, it is likely that the amount of the fee will increase.
3. The number of staff. In addition
to the star itself, the musicians, backing vocal group, dance group can take
part in the concert. The performer is often lucky with a costumer, makeup
artist, personal protection. Of course, all these people will have to pay for
tickets, food and accommodation.
4. Factors associated with the
activities of the star itself. The price of the performance may vary depending
on the release of the artist’s clips on TV, the current rotation of songs on
the radio, the frequency of the tour.
Discussion of Repertoire
With the artist you should
definitely discuss in advance the repertoire, which will sound at the wedding
banquet, that not only to avoid surprises, but also to observe a single concept
of celebration.
Preparation of The Site for Performance
In most cases, the preparation of
the venue for the performance falls on the shoulders of the host country. If
your wedding is organized by an event agency, then all responsibility will fall
on the management team and you need not worry about anything. If the bride and
groom order the show on their own, then they will have to engage in the rental
of sound equipment on their own.
Separately, pay attention to the
requirements for the dressing room. In the immediate vicinity of the scene
should be a dressing room - a room equipped with mirrors, lamps, chairs,
tables, sockets for connecting a kettle, hairdryer, curling iron and other
appliances. In most cases, performers want to get a room that would be locked
with a key.
However, if it is impossible to equip
a room next to the stage under the dressing room, then some artists are ready
to seek a compromise.
In addition to the minimum
requirements for the dressing room, the rider can be spelled out specific
requirements: a separate dressing room for the leader of the musical group, the
presence of a shower, food and beverages of a certain manufacturer.
Safety Stars
Almost all star rider includes a
clause on the need to ensure the safety of the performer during a concert and
stay in a foreign city. To fulfill this requirement, the organizers can contact
one of the departmental organizations or hire a chop.
The guards will not only have to
prevent any conflict situations, but also carry out a set of security measures.
Additional Star Requirements
The price of pleasure to see at
their own wedding stars often increases due to the special requirements of
artists. So, the performers may need the services of porters, make-up artist,
etc.
If your desire to see your favorite
artist at your event after reading is still strong, then we will continue. The
popular artists and musicians have an extremely tight schedule of performances
- it is advisable to inform the agency in advance of the date of the
celebration, venue, number of guests, etc.
If you decide to invite a foreign
star, then it is cheaper to invite an artist when he is on tour in our country.
However, it will be quite difficult to agree on the date of the wedding and the
expected arrival of the star. It should also be noted that recently Russia has
tightened the rules for organizing concerts of foreign performers, which have
been equated with guest workers. To enter the artist from abroad will need a
work visa, the design of which is troublesome and time consuming.
Nevertheless, all these “tests” are
worthy to pass, because a well-organized performance of the artist at the
wedding can become one of the decorations of the holiday, make it unforgettable
and bright.
