Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I strive to be flexible so if your timings change just let me know as soon as possible so I can plan accordingly.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Background music in-between sets is included in your quote. I can also provide a DJ service via my PA after the final set at a rate of £100 for up to 90mins.

How much time do you need to set up?

Set up and soundcheck takes about 1h. It is best done before your guests arrive - but don't worry if this isn't possible.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests have an amazing time. However, I'm happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes. Included in the fee is all the equipment needed for the performance including PA and lighting.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If there is a special song you'd like me to play, I am happy to do this for you. To take into account rehearsal times there is a charge of £20.

Thank you for making our evening extra special. Everyone commented on how great you sounded and I have given your details to a couple of friends getting married next year.
