FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Need a little more information before booking? Look no further!

How do I confirm my event booking? 

If you would like to book us for your event, please contact us via our form, and we'll discuss which package suits you best. We will then collect your details, and send you a contract stating our full terms and conditions for you to sign. We also require a 20% deposit, payable via BACS. Once the signed contract and deposit has been received, your wedding is fully confirmed in our diary!

 

Do you supply a PA system, and lighting?

Yes! We currently use a pair of Yamaha Stagepas 1K speakers, and also have a pair of wireless Bose speakers, perfect for smaller outdoor ceremonies where there is no access to power. 

Is your equipment PAT tested, and do you have Public Liability Insurance? 

All our equipment is PAT tested yearly, and we have Public Liability Insurance up to £10 million. Ahead of your event, we'll send across all our certification to either your venue, or you. 

How long does it take you to set up?

We need a minimum of one hour to load in, set up, and sound check to ensure our performance is of the highest quality for your event.

Can we request any songs? 

Our Sunflower & Rose packages include 3 new song requests, so you can ask us to learn a couple of your favourites! Our Tulip packages offers the option to add on new song requests for an additional fee. 

I want my ceremony entrance song to be performed as an instrumental - can you do this?

Of course! Josh is more than happy to perform an instrumental version of your chosen song, on whichever instrument you have chosen for your ceremony. 

Do you charge travel expenses? 

Every booking includes the first 25 miles of travel for free, after that we charge 45p per mile.

 

For events that are over 2 hours 30 minutes from Horwich, we will also need to add the cost of accommodation, either the night before or the night of your event. This will be included in your quote. 

Can you supply background music?

Yes we do! Whenever we need a break, we'll pop on a playlist of background music, appropriate for your event to ensure there's no awkward silences!

Can you perform outside? 

In the months of March to September, we are more than happy to perform outside granted the weather is appropriate, however between the months of October to February we would typically say no as it is too cold for our instruments and equipment. We treat outdoor performances on a case by case basis however, and will assess in the run up to your event whether we think it will be manageable. 

My venue has specific sound requirements for live music, will this be an issue?

We're more than happy to work with your venue to suit their sound requirements, including using their own PA system or adhering to sound limiters. We can liaise with your venue directly to find the best solution.

Do I need to supply food and drinks for you?

Drinks - definitely! However soft drinks are absolutely fine, so we won't be running up your bar tab with jågerbombs!

Food - this depends on the length of time that we'll be performing at your event. If you've booked a full day package, then we would really appreciate it! Becky is gluten free, and Josh is vegetarian, so  if this isn't something you can do, just let us know, and we'll make sure to bring lots of snacks!
