FREQUENTLY ASKED
Questions
There are a number of different questions you might have when booking a musician for your wedding or event, so I have answered a few of the most common ones below.
HOW DO I BOOK?
Feel free to contact me using my contact form, and I will then send through more information including package details and a quote(s), along with my song list. We can also chat through everything over a phone or a video call if that's easier to determine if I'm the right fit for you!
​
If you decide that you would like to go ahead with booking, I will send you a performance contract along with an invoice including payment information. I will require a signed contract and a 20% deposit to secure your date, with the remainder due 10 weeks before the wedding date. Once I have both of these things you will be securely booked in!​
​
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I'VE BOOKED?
l'll be contactable at any stage and will keep in touch throughout the planning process, including starting the discussions about your Ceremony & Special songs! 2-3 months before the big day, I will check in with a information form to complete with the details and timings for your day. At this point we will then schedule in a consultation call to go through this, finalise any song choices, go over final details, make sure you’re happy and comfortable with everything and so you can ask any questions you have!
​
WHAT IF MY TIMINGS CHANGE?
I always do my best to be as flexible as I can, so if timings change in the run up to the event, even on the day of, just let me know. My timings always have some flexibility to make sure your event runs as smoothly as possible!
CAN YOU PROVIDE A PLAYLIST BETWEEN SETS?
Yes, definitely! I always provide a happy/pop/mix playlist between sets unless specified otherwise so that you’re never left without music, and I will discuss this with you during our consultation call in terms of any specific requests for this playlist!
​
HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED TO SET UP?
I normally arrive 90 minutes prior to performance start time, just to make sure that I have time to locate where I need to be in your venue for all parts of your day, and so everything runs smoothly. However, I can be flexible with this as set up takes approximately 20 minutes, so I can set up earlier or later if need be!
​
CAN I PICK THE SONGS YOU PLAY FROM YOUR LIST?
Absolutely! It's super important to me that my performance is bespoke and tailored to you, which includes your set list! You can either pick out every song that I play, a few favourites (or definite nos!) or leave it to me to build based on your needs and preferences that we’ll discuss during our consultation call. There are some songs that I know work well for certain parts of your day to ensure everyone has a good time, so if you need any advice or guidance, I’m here to help!
DO YOU BRING THE EQUIPMENT NEEDED TO PERFORM?
Yes, I always provide my full PA system with everything I need to perform that’s adaptable to both small and large venues. Everything is PAT tested, and I can provide any certificates if needed. If a power supply isn’t available, I also have a battery powered system which I always have with me (just in case!).
​
CAN YOU LEARN SPECIFIC SONGS FOR MY WEDDING?
Yes, definitely! ALL Ceremony songs can be learned requests, as well as your Wedding Breakfast Entrance and First Dance, all of which you will receive demos of beforehand. When your Ceremony is not included (or for other private or bespoke events such as an anniversary or birthday party), I include up to 3 learned song requests instead to use during other parts of your day, and I have very little limits on what those songs can be. I require any song requests to be made at least 6 weeks before your wedding or event day, just to allow plenty of time for me to learn them and share any demos!
