BOOK THE BAND

Once you have decided that Johnny & The Goodtime Boys are the band for you, Tailored Entertainment will send a booking contract to you to confirm the booking. The contract features all the important details for the day and once you have signed, the band will sign a copy and confirm the booking in their diary. We ask for a deposit to secure the booking, with the balance payable by bank transfer seven days ahead of the day.

PLANNING

In the lead up to the wedding, you are very welcome to contact us any time to discuss the plan for the day. Around four weeks before the day the experienced team at Tailored Entertainment will contact you to go over the final details - timings, first dance, song requests for the disco or DJ, final payment details etc. All of the details will be recorded and sent to the band in one simple final confirmation email, so you can be sure nothing will get missed and everything discussed will happen as planned on the night.

ON THE NIGHT

Johnny & The Goodtime Boys will arrive fully self-contained with PA, lighting and ready with their pre-mixed DJ service (or a band member can DJ if you add this to your booking) and will perform 2 hours of live music (2 x 60 or 3 x 40 minute live sets). The band will cover your whole evening of entertainment so you don't need to hire a separate DJ or any additional equipment.

If your evening reception is in the same room as the meal/speeches, the band would usually arrive to set up in the turnaround time between day and evening. If the room or area for your evening is separate (or curtained off) the band could arrive while you are eating to get set up (they would sound check when suitable and wouldn't interrupt the meal or speeches!) - it takes a minimum of 90 minutes for the band to get fully set up and sound checked.

A guide to a standard evening reception would be:

  • 17:30 - Band Arrive
  • 19:00 - Background Music On
  • 20:00 - First Dance/First Set (60 mins)
  • 21:00 - Disco/DJ  (ideal time for evening buffet)
  • 22:00 - Second Set (60 mins)
  • 23:00 - Disco/DJ Until Close

Timings are flexible to suit your needs and live sets can be split 3 x 40 mins if you prefer.The standard price for Johnny & The Goodtime Boys is based on them arriving at 17:00 earliest and finishing as late as 00:00. For an early arrival or late finish outside of these times, there is an additional charge.

The band are very happy to perform your choice of first dance for you as long as they have at least three weeks notice of the song choice.

I could not recommend Johnny & The Goodtime Boys highly enough. Their performance was exceptional and had all our wedding guests up and dancing till the end of the evening. They took the time to learn our first dance song and it was such a special moment to be able to dance to this, a memory we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We’ve had so many wedding guests tell us how much they enjoyed the band and how much fun they had. It was also lovely that they let one of our younger wedding guests become an honorary member and play the tambourine! Communication with the band was excellent and they were so flexible on the day to accommodate things running over slightly. The booking process with Tailored Entertainment was excellent. Communication with them was brilliant and they were so accommodating when we had to change the wedding date and venue due to COVID and ensured that we could still have everything that we wanted.

The band were unbelievable at our wedding. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the band and the dance floor was never empty. The team at Tailored Entertainment communicated really well with us in the lead up to the wedding and worked with us to incorporate some traditional Italian songs and group dances into the main set. They were a real highlight to the wedding, a fantastic way to end a brilliant day and our guests cannot stop raving about them!

Wedding, Cecilia Hall, Tring
We had Johnny and The Goodtime Boys at our wedding on Saturday. We had never seen them live but had watched their videos and recordings so were very much looking forward to their performance. They were excellent, on their advice they played for one solid two hour set and the dance floor was full the entire time. They created a great atmosphere and they were so good, really professional. We had lots of comments from our guests about how good they were. Worth every penny :)
