FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
DJ Song requests. (Important)
If you have any specific song requests for us to DJ, you will need to inform us at least 2 weeks prior to your event..
Setting up our equipment. (Important)
We require at least an hour to set up and sound check our equipment. Please bear in mind that your evening reception room will need to be empty when we are setting up. (You don’t want us moving equipment whilst your trying to do your speeches!) If your wedding will be in the same room all day and night, please contact us to try to arrange an earlier time that we can set up during the day. (This might incur further charges if it is possible).
How much do you charge?
Unfortunately, it is really difficult to give an indication of our charges without knowing a bit more about your event. Various things can affect the cost of hiring a band including the date, the size and location of the venue, the length of time you want us to play and the equipment we will need to bring.
Our priority is to give your guests the best possible experience and to work within your budget wherever possible. So please, contact us now and we will be happy to give you a quotation with no obligation and no hard sell.
My venue is small and I’m only inviting a few guests. Should I book a smaller band?
From our experience, the size of venue and the number of guests bears no relation to the size of band that would be best suited to the event. The size of band should be dictated by the budget you have available and not by the size of the venue.
What areas do you cover?
Our main areas are Lancashire, Cumbria and Cheshire. However if your event is further afield than this, still drop us a line and we will consider it.
Where can I see you play?
