FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How and when do we make a booking?
As soon as you have decided a Date, Venue and Time of your Ceremony please contact us. While we are sometimes available at short notice, many couples book their musicians months in advance.
Do you do outdoor weddings?
Yes, we play inside or out. Please notify us when booking if there is to be an outside portion of the performance so we can bring appropriate equipment (including chairs that won't damage gardens, outdoor instruments, and heavy music stands so the music won't fly in a gust of wind)
For outdoor wedding ceremonies, please bring some large umbrellas that one or 2 nominated guests can hold over us, should there be a slight drizzle - this way we can keep playing.
For hot/sunny days it is best for us to have a shady position.
If we have our ceremony starting at (for example) 2pm, what time should the musicians start playing?
We start playing 15 minutes before the bridal party is due to arrive (this is when most guests arrive). We are however in the area of the ceremony 30 minutes prior to this time for set-up. If the guests start to arrive early, we will start early and keep the atmosphere going throughout.
How do we select the music for our Ceremony?
We play your requests. We have vast libraries of music from nearly every conceivable style of music. Please let us know what you want, and we will be more than happy to provide it.
As a rough guide please consider the following:
- Processional: Usually a steady 'walking beat' piece of music.
- Signing: Usually two pieces. These are usually slower classical pieces or love songs
- Recessional: Something bright and happy to say "that is the end of the official ceremony - let the celebration begin!"
How do you dress?
The men are in formal dinner suits and the ladies are in predominantly black evening wear.
How do we pay?
Cash, Cheque or Direct Deposit.
Once we make a booking, is it secure?
We operate on a 'first in first served' basis - with no compromise to this.
