How early do you arrive to set up?

Setup typically begins at least 90 minutes before the event start time unless otherwise agreed upon. Larger events may require additional setup time.

 

What happens if something last-minute comes up?

If an unexpected need arises and we have the equipment available, we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate. Any approved additions will be documented and added to the final invoice.

 

Can you provide sound for my cousin/friend who is singing at the ceremony?

Absolutely. Our Ceremony + Live Sound package is designed exactly for this. We provide the microphones and sound work to ensure their performance sounds beautiful and blends perfectly with the ceremony. 

 

Do you provide instruments for traveling musicians?

Yes. To ensure a seamless experience for live performers—especially those traveling from out of state—we offer professional Backline Support. If your musicians prefer to “travel light,” we can provide the following high-quality instruments and amplification for their use:

– Keys: 88-key weighted action keyboard (Yamaha)

– Strings: Acoustic, Electric, and Bass guitars

– Amps: Marshall and Peavey amplification

– Accessories: All necessary stands, cables, and direct boxes (DI)

Use of our house instruments can be factored into your custom package quote. Please let us know at the time of booking if backline support is required so we can ensure everything is tuned and ready for performance.

 

Do you attend wedding rehearsals?

We highly recommend it! We offer rehearsal attendance as an add-on. We can attend simply to coordinate timing ($100) or provide a full sound setup for the rehearsal itself ($250) to ensure everyone is comfortable with the microphones. Rehearsal sound must be requested at least 14 days prior to the event.
