FAQ

Answers to some of the questions in your head right now

  • When can I book you for my event?
    Most likely right now! Please note I use a 8 month rolling window for bookings. This means I can only lock in events 8 months out from the day of event. I put this in place to ensure I am available on this date. Even if your event is more than 8 months away, still reach out. I'm happy to chat about all the details and pencil you in. Once that 8 month mark comes around we can officially lock in!
  • Will you supply all the gear or do we need to source that ourselves?
    I supply all the equipment needed. My PA system is top of the line. I will set it up and pack it down myself. All I need from you is a powerpoint close enough for an extension cord and a setup area (reception) roughly 3x2m width ways.
  • Do I need to pay a deposit?
    I take a 30% deposit to lock in the event. This is so I can reserve the time/date of the event for you and decline other work.
  • Do you travel? If so, how far? What would that look like for us?
    Yes I travel nation wide and internationally! My normal rates are $50 per hour of travel. With events that require flights, there are more details to sort out (flight costs, equipment shipping, accommodation, etc) but it's all very doable and I can walk you through that.
  • Arrival times - bump in/ bump out
    I plan to arrive one hour prior to my start time. This can vary depending on traffic etc. It only takes me 20 mins to set up so this is more than enough time to load in. It usually takes me about 20-30 mins to load out fully after the gig.
  • What is your musical repertoire?

  • Are you insured?
    Yes, I have full coverage for myself and my performance with Duck For Cover Insurance.
  • I'm ready to book! How can I lock you in?!
    Awesome! Shoot me an email with the info of the event and I'll get back to you as soon as possible with a quote.
  • We are having our ceremony outside, are you able to perform without power?
    My PA system has its own lithium ion battery so I can play at full volume for up to 5 hours without power.
  • We are stuck deciding between 2 packages. are you able to be flexible?
    Of course, I can tailor my quote to each and every client. The packages are a common way of structuring out my services but I am able make changes to this to suit your needs.
  • Can you MC for us as well as perform?
    I definitely can, though in my experience, having a family friend or someone close to you MC makes the event more special and saves you a bit of money. If this is a service you would like please note it in your booking form.
  • So you perform all day and then DJ at night time? How good are you?
    Yes I perform these services at weddings and events frequently. It's what we call a "hybrid soloist" and is a great way to have both a live performer and a high energy dance floor all in one. Also, it is a lot more cost effective than booking multiple musicians due to set up fees and travel costs. It's also much easier to organise as just 1 person will be handling all the music for the entire day. Now, I don't claim to be the next Avicii... but what you can expect is smooth transitions, loud music and dancing with your loved ones all night!
  • I would like to walk down the aisle to the recorded version of a song that I love… it has a string orchestra and the original is very close to my heart, is that alright?
    This is totally fine, it's your day after all! I will download the song offline to my phone and cue it on the day through my PA system.
  • I have a specific song I want played while I walk down the aisle, are you able to learn and play it for me?
    YES! and ill do you one better, included in my Ceremony Packages, i will play up to 3 custom requested songs for the Bridal Walk, Signing, and Exit. This way your ceremony is 100% unique and tailored to you!
  • What will happen if it rains (or there is a possibility of rain) on the day and you're set to play in an uncovered area?
    This is a great question. I suggest having a wet weather backup plan for any events being held outside. This way we are prepared if something as uncontrollable as the weather tries to mess up the day. The gear I bring to perform is quite expensive and is mostly electronic or wooden and cannot get wet. I cannot risk it in the rain, even if it is sprinkling, misty or even just looks menacing. I need to protect my gear and get it to a sheltered place. This is to ensure my gear does not break and is dependable for other clients in the following days of the event. Ask your venue if there is a suitable wet weather area for me to setup in the event I need shelter if you do want to go ahead in those conditions.
  • Will you need any specific information about the venue and timeline?
    Yes! I'd love to get a run sheet from you in the week of the wedding. This ensures I can place my sets around key moments you have scheduled. Things I need will be: - Main contact for the day - Venue address - Run sheet
