Q: How far ahead should I book musicians for my wedding?

Once you have an idea of what your day will be like it's never too early to book the musicians. Booking at least 6 months to a year ahead will ensure your favourite group is reserved for your date.

Q: What are the advantages of using an agency?

We act as a filter with only the best musicians on our books, who we know to be trustworthy and reliable. It saves you from trawling through google for hours! We also provide contracts and organize payments so you won't be bothered with it on the day of your event. If something goes wrong and a musician gets covid we can find a suitable replacement very easily. We think of all the details and so the day is stress free and nothing is forgotten.

Q: What if my event is postponed due to Covid?

We will transfer your deposit to a new date if this is the case.

Q: Can a band provide a DJ service?

Most of our bands provide lights and will also play a playlist between their sets, either one you have provided or they can provide one so there are no awkward silences!

Q: Can the musicians play outside?

Our musicians always require some cover to play outside to protect their instruments from the elements. This can be a gazebo for example. Sometimes if there is a large double doorway opening out to a terrace they play just inside this area and can still be heard by the guests outside.

Q: Do I get charged by the hour?

Each group has a minimum fee regardless of how short the playing time is. Generally, bookings are for around 3 hours if it is for a ceremony and drinks reception.

Q: Can I hear the musicians play before I book?

We can send you clips of the musicians with quotes. We also occasionally run a night called 'The Hive Sessions' at The Troubadour in Earls Court, London where you can come and see our bands play live. We advertise these on our Instagram and Facebook pages.

Q: What is the booking process?

Once we have found the perfect musicians for you we will send you a booking confirmation form to sign and an invoice for a 50% deposit. The balance is then due two weeks before the event.
