Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome to our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page! Here you'll find answers to the most common questions about our services.
How far in advance should I book for my event?
We take bookings up to two years in advance and recommend booking as soon as possible to ensure availability of our musicians. However, we have had many last minute calls and were able to put together an amazing package.
What do I need to provide for the musicians?
Every musician will need an armless chair. For outdoor venues, all musicians will need FULL cover from sun and rain to protect our instruments, and in cold conditions, a heat lamp or move indoors is much appreciated :)
Can I request songs that are not on your list?
Sure! We have an extensive library of music, ranging from Baroque and Classical to Pop/Rock to Film/TV, and we're arranging new songs all the time. You can check out our song lists here. But if you don't see a song on the list that you just gotta have, we can also create custom arrangements of your favorite song. Additional fees may apply.
What do I need to do to book you?
When you're ready to book, we have a standard contract and require a 50% deposit to hold the date and time. Payments can be made through Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, ACH, or by check. Final payments are then due two weeks before the date of the event.
Can you provide a certificate of insurance?
Yes. We can provide a certificate of insurance in the amount of $1M each occurrence/$2M aggregate, naming your venue as an additional insured.
Is tipping expected?
Tipping is not required. However, it is a great way to show your appreciation for the musicians :)
Can you provide amplification?
In most cases, yes. We outsource all of our audio needs so that we can put all of our focus on our area of expertise - performing the music - and leave the technical stuff to the experts. If amplification is necessary/preferred, we work with a few different sound technicians. Availability and pricing may vary. We are also happy to work with your DJ or A/V team if that makes more sense.
Do I need amplification?
That depends! What is your guest count? How much outside background noise or wind is there typically at your venue (i.e. is it located next to a busy street, or by the beach, etc)? Is the venue space indoors or outside? If outside, are there any walls, hedges, or other types of structures that would help contain the sound, or is it a wide open space? All of these are factors to consider when determining whether or not amplification would be appropriate.
