How to Hold a Band/Artist Accountable to the Guarantee
1. Use a Solid Contract
Every booking on PartyBands.com includes a detailed written agreement outlining:
- Performance date, time, and duration
- Payment terms and deposit schedule
- Cancellation and refund policies
- Expectations for professionalism, attire, and equipment
- A clause requiring the band to assist in finding a replacement in case of emergency cancellation
2. Require a Deposit
A non-refundable deposit helps ensure commitment from the band, discouraging last-minute cancellations and providing financial security for the event organizer.
3. Check Band Reviews & Track Record
Only book highly rated** and experienced bands** with positive client feedback and a proven track record of reliability.
4. Establish Communication Early
Before the event, confirm arrival times, setup logistics, and performance details with the band. Keep a record of all correspondence in case issues arise.
5. Include a Late or No-Show Penalty
The contract can specify financial penalties if a band arrives late or fails to show up without a valid reason.
6. Get a Contingency Plan in Writing
Bands should agree to help source a backup act in case of an emergency cancellation. PartyBands.com also maintains a list of on-call musicians to step in when needed.
7. Stay in Contact on Event Day
Have a designated point of contact (event coordinator, venue manager, or band leader) check in with the artist before the event to ensure they are en route and on schedule.
