We will gladly communicate with your venue and
event coordinator to make certain all details
are finalized in advance.
We've planned a ceremony and reception in just days
but we aim to have all of the details finalized months
ahead of every performance.
When Where What How Much How Long
We have performed for audiences as
large as several thousand.
We have the experience and expertise to plan for nearly
any type of performance.
Acoustic Ensembles
String instruments are often over a century old and easily damaged by direct sunlight, excessive heat or cold, and any sort of precipitation.
If performing outdoors a tent is usually required and setting up in front of a building, bushes, or trees, and upwind of the audience with the sun and wind to the musicians' backs can help our sound project and make it easier to read our music.
When you contact us please include your event form
filled out with as much detail as possible.
Once you've completed your event form
please make certain to have saved your work.
Some PDF editing applications will only save edits within that application, requiring that you save or export the document in a different manner to share the changes you have made.
For example on Apple computers using Preview:
1. Select Print from the Edit menu, or type Command + P.
2. Use the dropdown menu in the Print window to save the document as a PDF.
3. If saving in the same location as the original file give this new file a different name.

Details
A great deal of preparation goes into every performance.
We aim to have every detail finalized months in advance.
As you fill out your event form it is very helpful to be
as thorough and detailed as possible.
Stage
Please include stage dimensions in your event form or at least confirm with your wedding coordinator and venue that plenty of space will be left for the band to load in, setup, perform, and teardown. We will gladly contact them ourselves at your request.
When creating a performance estimate we need to know that our sound system, lights, musicians, instruments, stands, and other equipment will fit. Empty cases for all of our gear might not make the most ideal backdrop for your wedding photos and videos so we try to cover every possible detail well before the performance date.
Setup
For large and amplified ensembles please allow at least
four hours of setup time for our crew of roadies.
This time includes our load in, setup, and soundcheck.
Teardown can usually be completed in under three hours.
Our truck and trailer are used for most band configurations and require a parking and unloading space at least 50' long and over 8' high.
Soundcheck
To complete the soundcheck each amplified instrument will be checked independently and with each other. The full band will then soundcheck a few songs at performance volume to set levels and properly adjust microphones, instruments, monitors, and other items.
Stage Layout
The following image depicts a rough layout of one of
our larger orchestra options. We've squeezed onto tighter stages but more space is always desireable.
Our smaller ensembles require much less floor space.
