Questions...
BOOK
EARLY
to get the ensemble you
want for your date! Our musicians are busy... we play for not
only weddings but also in orchestras in Atlantic City, Delaware and
Philadelphia! We do have "subs" if one of the musicians you see
on our pages is busy, however, and we offer to you only the highest
calibre of musicians!
THE
MUSIC SERVICE
We arrive an hour early to set up, then play 20 minutes to half an
hour before the wedding as guests arrive (and until you arrive, even
if you are late!).
This sets a nice ambience. We can then play your Mom's being seated,
your bridal party processional, the bridal processional, any music you
would like during the ceremony, (a unity candle or some soft guitar,
harp, flute, violin, or piano music as you say your vows is
beautiful), and your recessional, plus a few more pieces as the venue
empties. We are available to help you with your music choices and
arrange that special song (or songs) you hold so dear and play any
style service. We have a pianist/organist and wonderful singers
who are well versed in Catholic masses.
Our fees include travel and cartage, and are very competitive. We
treat your wedding like the first one we've ever played... We are also
available for your cocktail or reception, offering both classical and
jazz ensembles.
This is your day, you are the princess, and you should walk very
slowly down the aisle, reveling in the music and all your friends and
family around you!
MUSIC SELECTIONS
Our
"wedding song sampler" page,
here,
provides you with the most popular ceremonial music today. We
will work closely with you to provide you with your very own special
program.. We will play special songs but need sufficient lead time to
set up the arrangement, so book early.
If one of
our musicians has an emergency, we will find another musician of the
same calibre.

ATTIRE
Many
people ask how we will be dressed for their wedding. The answer?
(Women) Classy black or navy attire, with pearls,
silver, gold, (men) tux or suit depending on the formality of the
event.. Sometimes we do get requests to dress
otherwise, so just let us know!
OUTDOOR WEDDINGS
If you are being married outside, we can accommodate you with flute,
violin, or guitar. However, if there is inclement weather, and
by this we mean rain or excessive wind, especially in the case of a
beach wedding, you must have a "Plan B" to play somewhere indoors
(usually the reception hall). The outdoor elements can be very
destructive to our instruments, which usually are quite expensive and
repairs to them are costly as well. Some musicians will not play
on the beach unless they have an umbrella or some kind of shade
overhead. Please check with us to see who and what are available
for your beach wedding!

FEES
Our fees
are based on whether you are having a ceremony and/or a cocktail hour
or reception. We do not charge by the hour, but for the service
required. A ceremony for a soloist or duo or trio is a set fee.
If you want the same instrumentation for your cocktail hour, since we
are already there, the additional fee is nominal. Many mature
couples today like a small jazz ensemble for their reception or dinner
hour. We have many fine jazz musicians from which to choose and
form the ensemble you desire! The usual fee is $250 per player,
but travel and cartage apply and the harp is usually a bit more
because it is very large, costly and sensitive.
Some inquires go like this, "... we are only having a 15 minute
ceremony!" There is never "just a 15 minute ceremony".
When you take all of the above into consideration, it is much longer.
We may drive 1-2 hours to get to you and we arrive an hour early for
setup and drive back. Also, there are often delays in the service, for
which we never charge. Lastly, you get what you pay for, and you
want only the best. All of our musicians are highly trained
professionals. You will find our fees very competitive.
Contact us today
so we can help you pick the best duo or trio for your ceremony or
cocktail hours.
Thank you for taking the time to visit us, and we hope to speak with
you soon!
