What do you wear?

Our go to is all black dress clothes. We want to be as dressed up as the guests are but still stand out from the crowd. The guys wear black suits typically without a tie. If your event is “black tie”, we can definitely dress it up a little with ties. Our female vocalist is the fashionista and has the leeway to stand out from all of us guys.

Do you learn new songs?

Definitely! Especially if it’s for the first dances. We like to be able to offer a special experience for your first dances by performing them live. We ask for song requests at least a month in advance. If there are songs you’d like to hear that aren’t on our song list, ask. There are a lot of additional songs that we’ve performed over the years that haven’t made it on the permanent song list so we may know it already.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We carry a 1 million dollar insurance policy. If your venue needs to be added to the policy just let us know in advance.

How early do you come to set up?

We ask for access to the venue 2 hours in advance of when guests arrive. We want to give ourselves enough time to set up and be cleaned up before any guests come into the reception area. We also take some time to soundcheck because every room sounds different.

What are your sales taxes?

We don’t charge clients any sales tax.

Do you provide other services?

Our main add ons to our reception music pricing are:

-Extra lighting packages: it’s recommended to have wash lighting on the band for every event. Most of the time, you want to dim the lights as the night goes on and the dancing gets started. Having lights on the band keeps us out of the dark. We can also provide dance floor effect lighting and whole room uplighting. Just ask us!

-Ceremony PA: even if we’re not playing live for the ceremony, we can provide a PA system as well as a wireless lavaliere mic for the officiant. We can also cue up music from the PA system if you aren’t having any live music.

-Heavy duty PA system: if your having a large wedding (200+ guests) it’s recommended that you add on to our normal PA system to handle all of the extra bodies in the room. This includes additional subwoofers and main speakers.

-Ceremony music: We love being able to play during the ceremony as well! We do this a little differently than other bands. We like to offer an acoustic guitar and bass duo during the ceremony. This allows for a super flexible song list. We’re easily able to cover traditional hymns and classical pieces (like Canon in D) but our preference is really to play instrumental versions of recognizable songs by the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, and more.

-Cocktail hour: if your cocktail hour is in a different location, we can provide a PA system to play a playlist in the background or even have live musicians play instrumental music in the extra location.

How far will you travel?

We’re located in Upstate South Carolina but have gone as far as Mississippi for events. Anything within an hour and a half drive of Greenville is no extra charge. For each hour over that, there is a $300 travel fee. If we are over 4 hours away, we also require hotel rooms for the night.

How long do you play?

A typical event for us is 5 hours. If you need us for longer or the event is running late we offer an extra hour of play time in our bundles or as an add-on.

Do you need a stage?

As long as we’re on flat and solid ground, we don’t need a stage. Even if we’re outside, as long as we’re on a deck or concrete, we’re good to go. We can’t set up on grass, mulch, sand, etc though. We don’t travel with our own stage.

When do you take breaks?

We try our best to take our breaks when other things are happening. Toasts, garter toss, etc. When your timeline comes together, we can pencil in the best places to take our breaks. We provide DJing during breaks. We have our playlists but can also use your own playlist if you want to choose the music.

Do we need to feed you?

We’re generally on site several hours before guests arrive and at least an hour after everyone leaves so we need to be fed there on site. We’re not picky though. We can eat vendor meals or directly off the buffet. Whatever works best for you and your planner/venue.
