Questions (8)
Do you need anything provided at the venue?
All we require at gigs are chairs (without arms), a decent amount of space to set up, decent lighting, and if playing outdoors we require a fully covered area (i.e. a covered patio, or a small tent). For the sake of our valuable instruments and gear, we cannot be exposed to precipitation or direct sunlight. We often get asked if a patio umbrella would be enough. From experience, a standard tent (usually a 10×10 or 12×12 foot size) would be the minimum requirement. Please note that we do not provide our own tent– ask your venue/planner if you require assistance in finding a suitable tent.
Do you require amplification?
Our instruments are acoustic, so generally, no, we would not require any amplification to play. Occasionally, for very large receptions, we have been amplified (i.e. with a microphone set up in front of our music stands), though it would up to the organizer and/or venue to provide any microphones, speakers, or other audio gear, as needed.
Do we get to choose the music for our wedding ceremony?
Yes, of course- that’s the fun part! For wedding ceremony music: after we have received your deposit, and confirmed your booking, we would be asking you to choose which pieces you would like us to play for: the wedding party entrance, bride’s entrance, signing of the register, and wedding party exit. (Also, any other spots during the ceremony, such as candle lighting or communion). We would be choosing the prelude music from our repertoire, to play before the ceremony starts, as guests arrive.
Do you play for events other than weddings?
Absolutely! We’ve done many corporate receptions, Christmas parties, anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, celebrations of life/memorials, gallery openings... We would be happy to give you a quote for your special event.
Do you take special requests?
We are happy to take a special request for a song/piece that is not already in our repertoire, provided that we are able to locate the sheet music, or are able to make an arrangement of the music in a reasonable amount of time prior to the event. Please give us at least a few weeks’ notice if requesting a special song for your event. Please note also that a special request will usually incur extra costs for which the client will be responsible– i.e. our cost of purchasing sheet music especially for an event, and/or for the time and labour involved in creating an arrangement (if time permits).
Do you ever play for events outside the Lower Mainland (B.C.)?
We are centrally located in the Vancouver area; however, we have played many gigs outside of the Lower Mainland (including Squamish, Whistler, Pitt Meadows, Chilliwack, even Tofino, and the Sunshine Coast). Gigs outside a reasonable distance of Vancouver may be arranged with inquiry, and will include a fair travel fee.
How can we book you?
To book us, all we would need to know is: the date and location of your event, the start time of your ceremony/event, and whether you would like to hire us as a quartet (or trio, or duo, etc). We would then prepare and send over a copy of our booking agreement for you to complete and sign, and return to us, along with a non-refundable deposit.
How much is the deposit?
The actual deposit amount depends on a couple of things: whether you are hiring us as a quartet, trio, or duo; if we are playing only for a wedding ceremony, a ceremony plus reception, (or another type of event); and also if there is any significant travel involved. Please note that deposit is non-refundable in the event of cancellation.
