Frequently Asked Questions

 

So you’ve found the perfect band but you feel like there’s a few questions you still need answering. That’s OK, we’ve put together our most ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ below for you to take a look at…

If we’ve missed anything don’t hesitate to get in touch using the contact page!

What time do you arrive and leave?
As standard we arrive at 6.30pm and we’re then all yours until 12.30am. For an hourly rate, we can arrive earlier of finish later if you wish. Just get in touch and make sure we’re available to do so before you book.
How much do you cost?
Because of the vast range of circumstances we have to take in to account (travel, dates, size of venue, PA requirements etc…) we do not have a fixed price. However, our prices do start from as little as £900. Please use the contact page to request a quotation via email
How many are in the band?
There are four of us in the band Our lineup consists of a singers, keyboards, bassist, guitarist and drummer.
How long does it take for you to get set up and how long do you play for?

Our new setup takes approximately 45 minutes. Our default contract time is 6.30pm arrival and we spend 6 hours in site with you. You can change the hours in site by discussing this with our management team subject to availability. There is a charge for additional time on site.

Do we have to provide sound or lighting equipment?
No. We bring everything we need. You don’t need to provide anything other than a good electrical supply for us to plug our equipment into. We carry an industry standard PA system and a range of LED lighting so that the stage and dance floor area is lit and looks great!
Can you play at venues that have noise limiters?
Yes. In honesty, they’re not ideal but we’ve found that more and more venues now have them installed so we’ve learned to deal with them. What’s important is that we know in advance so we can make sure the equipment that we bring is geared for a venue with a limiter.
What payment methods do you accept?
You can pay your balance by either Card or Bank Transfer. Our standard payment terms are a 50% deposit with the balance being due 28 days before the wedding. We do also offer two different payment plans which allow you to spread the cost of the booking into either monthly payments or into 4 equal payments between the date of confirmation and the month prior to the wedding. These are completely interest free and because it’s a payment plan rather than credit, doesn’t require a credit search or affect your Experian rating.
Do you have insurance?
We certainly do! We have Public Liability Insurance for £5m which is the standard requirement for most venues.
Do you learn requests?
In the case of first dance songs, we’ll always try our upmost but can’t promise to meet every single requirement. If we can’t we’ll make sure it’s played on our playback system! If time is available to us and the song is appropriate for the style of our musicians then we’ll give it a good go. But we won’t make promises as we’d hate to disappoint if it doesn’t work! As you can imagine, playing as many shows as we do, we aren’t able to learn requests for each but if we can, we will. Please do ask though!
Can we pick our own set list?
We invariably choose the live set on the night, as we go, according to the crowd in front of us. This allows us to use our expertise and experience to pack your dance floor. That said, nearer the time, if you drop our manager an email, he’ll send you over the current repertoire list and you’d be welcome to choose a few favourites from there and we’ll do our best to include them. In respect of the disco set, you’re very welcome to fire some songs over in advance and we’ll make sure that they’re all on the playback system and included during the course of the night if they’re not already on there.
Do we have to provide anything extra for you?
The only other requirement that we have is that you arrange for some food for us either in the break between our sets or before we go on stage. It doesn’t need to be elaborate; just something like a tray of sandwiches is fine. Most people just let us join their evening food which is fine! The only other thing we ask for is some soft drinks. Either 8 cans of Diet Coke or Bottled Water.
Do we get our own written contract?
You certainly do. The contract is an important document that makes sure that both you and us are really clear about what’s happening on the day are what our expectations of each other are. It also makes sure that you money is protected as we’re legally bound by a signed contract.
