FAQs

You can definitely request specific songs for your reception, but it depends on who you've hired for the music. Here's a breakdown:

Live acts: Our live acts usually have a set repertoire based on their musical style. While they might not be able to play every request, most bands are open to accommodating a few special songs on their setlist, especially if you discuss it with them in advance.

DJ: DJs typically have a much wider music library and are more likely to be able to play your requests. Many DJs will even take requests throughout the night, though it's a good idea to discuss your preferences for genres and vibes beforehand to ensure a smooth flow.

Most bands require short breaks throughout their performance. We factor these into the booking timeline and ensure they don't disrupt the flow of your celebration.

All of our bands offer a playlist DJ services (free of charge) after set up and soundcheck and for breaks. Most bands also provide a free playlist DJ up until midnight, after their live performance ends. A manned DJ service can be added for a fee.

Both Playlist DJ and Manned DJ services provide music for your event, but they differ in terms of interaction and flexibility. Both are normally ran from either a laptop or a digital device:

Playlist DJ: This is a pre-programmed music selection created by our DJs to complement the overall tone of your event. It's perfect for background music during cocktail hour, dinner, or in-between sets of your live entertainment. This service is completely complimentary after sound check and throughout the duration of your booked live entertainment. Most bands will also include the Playlist DJ service right up until midnight, free of charge (this will be confirmed during your band booking).

Manned DJ: This is a more interactive option where a member from your booked live act acts as the DJ. They can play from a prepared playlist in addition to taking requests from your guests and adapting the music to keep the energy high throughout the night. This is a fantastic choice for events where you want a more dynamic and personalized dance floor experience. The Manned DJ service is an add-on to your live entertainment package.

In short:

Playlist DJ: Perfect for background music and complimentary with most live entertainment packages.

Manned DJ: Ideal for an interactive dance floor experience with request capabilities (additional charge).

We have backup plans in place to minimize disruptions. In case of cancellation, we'll work diligently to find a suitable replacement or offer a full refund.

Our bands are all about bringing the energy, but we understand the importance of keeping the volume within the venue's limits. We achieve this through various approaches. Firstly, some of our bands utilize electronic drum kits or lighter sticks, allowing for powerful drumming without exceeding the decibel threshold. Secondly, we often use in-ear monitors instead of speaker wedges, minimizing the overall stage volume. Additionally, our musicians are skilled at adapting their playing style, focusing on dynamics and tighter arrangements to create a captivating experience without relying solely on volume. Finally, for certain events, we offer acoustic sets featuring instruments like cajons, ensuring a captivating performance even with stricter sound limitations.
