Q: How far in advance do I need to book a band for my event?
A: Depending on the date of your event (some dates are in much higher demand than others), you should try to book your band 6 months- 1 year in advance. Not to discourage you if you are spontaneously deciding to book a band; some dates, as hot as they are may be still open as little as a few months in advance. Q: I just need a musician or vocalist for our ceremony, not a band for my reception. Can I get that?
A: Certainly, you can hire just a band for your reception, a trio for a cocktail party or even just a soloist for whatever celebration you have. Think of us as a music entertainment agency - Any music-related need you have, we can provide you with the right talent to fulfill it. Q: Do you travel?
A: Yes. If we are available on your date(s), we will travel anywhere in the world! Additional travel and lodging costs will apply. Q: What is included in the rate to hire one of the groups?
A: In addition to the musicians, all events come with sound and lights systems. The band also comes with a sound engineer and a Master of Ceremonies (MC) to make all announcements and introductions and create the seamless flow of the event. It also includes all prior meetings, calls and emails so we can coordinate and execute a flawless and memorable event. Every aspect of planning your event is absolutely customizable by you. We also include such free services as learning specific songs that may be new to the band. Q: How can I book a band/ensemble?
A: Simple, call or email us letting us know which group you need and what date you need it. If it is still available, we will email you an electronic version of the contract to sign and return to us with a deposit, which will officially reserve the date for you. In the case where your date is in high demand (there are multiple inquiries for it), we can accept a credit card payment for the deposit to secure it immediately. Q: When is final payment due?
It is due the day of the event. We know you have many other things to worry about before your event and we refuse to be one of them!
Q: What type of payments do you accept?
A: We accept cash, checks and credit cards through Paypal. Q: Do you offer non-stop music throughout the event?
A: Yes we do! Generally, during a 2 ½ hour event, the band does not take breaks. However, depending on the length of your event, we may take one break, during which we will provide recorded music. Since all of our musicians are true professionals, they have it down to the beat so that when they break, the DJ mix starts immediately and your guests will stay on the dance floor. Q: I don't see our first dance song on your song list. Will you learn it?
A: Yes, we most certainly will. We know how much this song means to you and we will learn it. Q: Does the song list on this website include all the songs you play?
A: No it doesn't. We update the song list quite frequently, adding songs, keeping the list current and fresh with the most popular requested music among all genres. If you don't see a song on the list, just ask us!
Q: What happens after I book one of your groups?
A: You rest confidently that we are doing our job preparing for your event. A month prior we will contact you to discuss the details and prepare a schedule of events in accordance to your wishes and the timeline of the rest of the vendors. Q: Do you help with event coordination during the event?
A: Yes, we are happy to coordinate with all other vendors and respond to any last minute changes that arise. If there is no event coordinator, or someone else in charge, we will gladly fill that role for you. Q: We've been to too many events where the sound was overpowering and people can't converse. Is there any way we can control the volume?
A: Yes, we hear this question often from people who have seen bands that insist on being too loud. We are in control of the volume and we understand your request, since we too have been guests to such loud receptions and parties. We strive to make our show not only energetic, but at the proper volume as well. If there are any issues, just let us know and we'll take care of it. Q: Who MCs the events?
A: Our percussionist, Rick, is a trained speaker and will be in charge of all announcements throughout the event. Of course, if you have someone who you'd like to handle MC duties, we can certainly accommodate that as well. Q: What music genres do you perform? What are you best at?
A: Take a look at our song list here. We are best at party music, any and all of it. We are quite comfortable with any genre and style. |
